Established in 1988, The Bluffs on Thompson Creek features an 18-hole Arnold Palmer signature design golf course located within a 300-home, master-planned community in the West Feliciana Parish of Louisiana close to where John James Audubon painted his famous Birds of America. Stretching more than 7,100 yards, this championship course meanders through rolling hills, dense hardwood forests, flowing creeks and scenic bluffs.
“As new owners and residents of The Bluffs, we wanted to give our club and community the best chance we could for making The Bluffs on Thompson Creek the great destination venue that Arnold Palmer anticipated more than 27 years ago,” said Ken Carter, partner of The Bluffs Renaissance. "I do believe that The Bluffs on Thompson Creek can become one of the finest golf destinations in the country, if not the world. We believe that Honours and Troon can make that happen."
The natural beauty and undisturbed terrain provided the perfect canvas for Arnold Palmer. As with many Palmer courses, The Bluffs rewards the risk-taker and accurate shot-maker. The 17th hole provides a memorable and lasting impression with its 60-foot drop from the tee to a deep green guarded by Thompson Creek on two sides.
“The Bluffs on Thompson Creek has been consistently rated one of the top courses in Louisiana and we are honored to be given the opportunity to manage the club,” Honours Golf CEO Bob Barrett said. “Our management, customer service and agronomic practices will help to enhance and elevate The Bluffs to a new level of excellence.”
