Award-winning golf course architect Ron Garl preserved the character of the original course, while upgrading the 18-hole, 7,002 yards, par 72 course with modernized fairways, tee boxes and greens - new improvements to an old favorite.

The 444-yard "Fire in the Hole" sets a new standard for bunkers. The new 18th hole includes traps in the shape of flames set in red sand, a tribute to New Orleans Firefighters. It is the only one of its kind in the golfing world.

Lakewood Golf Club offers 7,002 yards of championship golf and the area's only short game practice facility.
