TPC Louisiana in Avondale – site of the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans – was designed by famed architect Pete Dye with consultation from PGA Tour players Steve Elkington and Kelly Gibson. The layout opened in 2004 and has been the site of the Tour event since 2005.
TPC Louisiana ranks as No. 2 in the state on Golfweek’s Best 2021 ranking of public-access layouts.
The course underwent a $2 million enhancement project in 2019 intended in large part to provide better playing conditions. The changes included re-grassing the greens with TifEagle Bermuda, changing the fairways to Celebration Bermuda and restoring all the pot bunkers to their original size.
