Lakewood Golf Club in New Orleans, LA used to host the PGA Tour event in that town. Originally built in 1961 with a design by Robert Bruce Harris, Lakewood suffered some extensive damage during Hurricane Katrina and shut down for a few years before being purchased by the New Orleans Firefighters Pension Fund. Ron Garl did an extensive renovation in 2009 which kept the routing of 9 of the original holes, a few other greensites, but for the most part it's a brand new design with features elevated somewhat above the floodplain.
I played there the last week of 2016 and took a few photos. In tribute to the firemen and to New Orleans, Garl created some interesting symbolic bunkering and other features.
The first two picture are of the 18th. I believe in season there is red sand in the "Fire in the Hole" bunkers that one faces on the tee and approach to the hole, with the fingers of the bunker representing flames lapping at the hole.
The next two show bunkers shaped like a Fleur de Lis, the symbol of New Orleans, and the Maltese Falcoln Medal.
Finally, some very artistic tree work.
