Koasati Pines Golf Course Ranked #5 in Louisiana on Golf Digest List of ‘Best In State’ Courses

Golf’s Most Prestigious List of Best Places to Play

June 22, 2017

Kinder, LA—Koasati Pines at Coushatta is ranked the #5 golf course on the 2017-18 list of Golf Digest’s “Best In State” golf courses, moving up 3 notches from last year’s position (#8). Koasati Pines is part of Coushatta Casino Resort, owned by the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana

The fairways on this 7,617-yard course, one of the longest golf courses in Louisiana, wind through natural wetlands and over rolling terrain studded with stately pines and huge live oaks. Six sets of tees let golfers tailor the course to their skill levels. This stunning course was specifically designed to submerge players in a relaxing, yet challenging, golf experience. Spectacular greens extend a velvet invitation to skilled and novice golfers alike. The novel 19th “gambling” hole is a favorite spot where tiebreakers and wagers can be resolved. Course designer Kevin Tucker snuck in multiple approaches to several holes––but GPS enabled carts track yardage and offer course tips to help plan each shot.

“We are thrilled to receive this honor. We work very hard to keep our course in perfect shape to ensure an outstanding golfing experience for our players. This recognition reinforces that we are even better than before, moving up 3 notches on this well-respected list!” stated Gordon Poncho, Golf Course General Manager.

In 1977, Golf Digest first started ranking the best courses in each state, 11 years after the debut of their national list. Every two years, their readers vote to rank the top 100 courses in the United States, and the top 10 courses in each of the 50 states.

Coushatta Casino Resort is located in Kinder, Louisiana on Highway 165 (I-10, exit 44), featuring three hotels and thousands of slots and table games including live poker, live bingo, off-track betting and a sportsbook. Call (800) 584-7263 or visit www.ccrla.com for more information.
