Old LSU course- Baton Rouge
Brechtel- Algiers, New Orleans
Bayou Barriere- Belle Chasse
Belle Chasse NAS (Columbel)- Belle Chasse
Braithwaite Golf Course
Broadwater- Biloxi
Par 3- Biloxi
Old USM Course- Hattiesburg

Toro Hills? I played it once. The greens were like giant putting sponges.

Yep, played it several times. Neat course, across from Hodges Gardens close to Many Louisiana.

Used to play there all the time when we lived in Pitkin. Loved the course. Sad to see it all grown over now. Best 2 rounds of my life were shot there - both even par 72

The "Sun" course, which was in a larger tract of land behind the Broadwater complex but actually accessed off of Beauvoir:
From 1962 to 1993 the Broadwater also had the "Sea" Course, which was the old Great Southern Golf Club down Hwy 90 to the west. It was sold to locals and went back to being the Great Southern after the President Casino acquired the Broadwater.
