About Pelican Point Golf & Country Club
Pelican Point is a private golf club in Gonzales, Louisiana, developed by Douglas Diez and opened in 1997. The championship layout blends British-style golf with Louisiana character.
The course sits near the banks of the Mississippi River, behind the historic Houmas House Plantation, and is bordered by residential homes in Ascension Parish. Its location off Interstate 10 places it within a short drive of both Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
