The course opened for play in 1988 and was designed by Jay Riviere.

Watch out for # 18, a 452 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 6, a 171 yard par-3.

The layout winds through a natural bayside landscape, complete with stately trees and bayou-fed waterways and large, well-bunkered greens. Water hazards come into play on sixteen holes. Generally, the course plays longer than the yardage indicates because of the prevailing winds blowing from off the Gulf of Mexico.
