Recognized as a spectacular course by prestigious golf organizations, the Golf Course at Carter Plantation is the first signature design by PGA champion and All American golfer David Toms. Golf Magazine has included Carter Plantation on their “Top 10 Courses You Can Play” list. Carter Plantation has been honored as a member of the nationally recognized Louisianan Audubon Golf Trail. Trail membership is only extended to the few exceptional courses that pass a rigorous review process that evaluates:

Membership in the elite list of Audubon Golf Trail courses involves Carter Plantation in the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for Golf Courses. Through this program Carter Plantation shows its dedication to both protect the environment and preserve the heritage of the game of golf.

Remarkably, three diverse indigenous Louisiana landscapes are included in the course habitats:

1. Upland Pine Forests
2. Live Oak Flats
3. Cyprus Wetlands

A monumental amount of work went into preserving the plantation's native wildlife habitats. Carter Plantation went to great lengths to include a broad mix of indigenous plants and wild grasses in the landscape.
