Santa Maria Golf Course in Baton Rouge opens with a demanding 420-yard par 4, where a long drive is required to leave a reasonable approach into a green protected by bunkers both front and back.
Precision matters elsewhere on the layout as well. One par 3 is flanked by a bunker on the front left and a hazard along the right, leaving little margin for a miss. A reachable par 5 rewards an aggressive tee shot, though only the longest second shots can find the putting surface; laying up short and right sets up the better angle into a sloping, two-tiered green.
