Designed by golf course architects Max Maxwell and Nathan Crace,
the championship course at Copper Mill is a refreshingly eclectic mix of old world
shot-making and contemporary agronomic conditioning. Weaving its way through open
fields of native grasses, centuries-old solitary live oaks, and a landscape dotted with
strategically placed bunkers, you may forget you are in South Louisiana-save for the two
holes that precociously crisscross Cypress Bayou.
Another unique feature of Copper Mill’s layout is its combination of holes
with three par 3 holes, three par 4 holes, and three par 5 holes on each nine! This
mix makes for not only a change from the rudimentary arrangement encountered on most
courses, but also adds a degree of excitement to both tournaments and "friendly
wagers" alike. Copper Mill’s course promises to raise the expectations for
golfers throughout Louisiana and beyond with unique features, a multitude of risk/reward
opportunities, and breath-taking golf vistas too numerous to count! And the course
was skillfully routed through its natural setting to provide not only spacious fairways
and playing areas, but also some of the best golf course home sites in Louisiana without
the feeling of "crowding" the golf course.
The
short course (a three hole course consisting of a par 3, a par 4, and a
par 5) is already on
the drawing board and scheduled for construction in an upcoming phase--giving golfers the
opportunity to "warm-up" for three holes before heading to the Championship
course or a way to squeeze in a few holes after work on the way home! In fact, you
may find that the biggest problem you’ll encounter at Copper Mill is trying to get
back to the first tee after you finish your round to get in that "emergency
nine." From the hidden green at the par 3 sixth hole to the old mill ruins
guarding the left side of the approach into the par 4 seventeenth, you’ll find that
each hole at Copper Mill has the potential to create its own memories-leaving you with the
daunting task of selecting which hole is your favorite! Copper Mill is the course
you’ve been longing for…
Copper Mill.
