How is Louisiana not running away with this one.  Is there any classic design in the state?  I could not find one Ross, MacDonald, Raynor, Flynn, MacKenzie, Colt/Alison, Strong or Tilly course in the state.  Further, no modern is ranked anywhere or even has a cult following.

Would any Louisiana course be ranked in the top 20 of the better golf states?

The only course I've played in La. is Squire Creek.  I do believe this course would crack some top 20's

I don't think you looked hard enough.

EDIT: My mistake. I thought there was a Raynor, but could not find one in Cornish & Whitten.

Metairie Country Club is a Seth Raynor.  New Orleans Country Club was built before World War I but not sure who designed it.

Thanks Jeffrey,

I couldn't remember the name, and Cornish and Whitten didn't list it in their list of courses he did.
