The overnight facilities at The Bluffs include 37 one-bedroom suites and one two-bedroom "Conference Suite." Golf Overview
Arnold Palmer was granted complete freedom to route his golf course at The Bluffs through each of the diverse landscapes of the property, and eight separate routings were staked and walked before the best 18 holes were discovered. Only after the most dramatic golf holes were found was the surrounding residential community planned. The result of Palmer's patient search for the routing of the course is a naturally beautiful golf course featuring uniquely different holes with excellent memorability. Golf Courses
The Bluffs
Architect: Arnold PalmerDescription:
An 18-hole round at The Bluffs is a nature walk through all the diverse settings of the Feliciana countryside, starting and finishing atop the high bluffs along Thompson Creek, playing to a green located adjacent to a white, sand beach, traversing thick forests of mature hardwoods and pines, and attempting a variety of challenging shots over hills, off bluffs, and into hollows. The young course already exudes an atmosphere of great maturity, due to its natural contours and the huge trees that line its fairways. The views experienced from the golf course are dramatic and unusual for South Louisiana, with elevation changes as great as 50 ft. on a single golf shot. The breathtaking beauty of Palmer's design makes a round of golf at The Bluffs as much a visual pleasure as a shotmaking challenge.
