Was it ambition that drove golfers like Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson to victory on these very grounds? Right here, where we stand, is Lakewood Country Club. It has witnessed legendary moments in golf history. Lakewood Country Club opened its doors in 1961. The course was designed by Robert Bruce Harris, a champion of the “Garden School” of architecture. Imagine the thrill of the game as the first New Orleans Open was hosted here in 1963! Champions like Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Billy Casper, and Seve Ballesteros etched their names into Lakewood’s legacy. The club even played host to the USGA Women’s Amateur Championships, a testament to its stature in the golfing world. But time, like a challenging course, can take unexpected turns. Lakewood Country Club faced difficult times. Yet, in a twist of fate, it was rescued by the Firemen’s Pension Fund in 2003. Today, Lakewood Country Club stands as a testament to resilience and the enduring spirit of this incredible city.
