Golf Course Architects Pay Visit to their Latest Design
(Austin, Texas) Golf course architects Roy Bechtol and Randy Russell will be on hand at Black Bear Golf Club in Delhi, Louisiana on September 13th and 14th to play the golf course, answer questions and meet with officials from Louisiana tourism and economic development about future development.
Black Bear Golf Club is the newest addition to the Audubon Golf Trail and has earned rave reviews by those who have played the course. Carved from rolling terrain among massive hardwoods along the Macon Ridge just north of Delhi adjacent to Louisiana’s Poverty Point State Park, Black Bear is a classic Bechtol Russell design with generous driving areas, creative greens complexes and nose-rolled bunkers.
For economic development initiatives in the Northeast Louisiana area, Black Bear is a tremendous amenity. "Having such a great golf course is huge for us," said Tana Trichel, CEO of the Northeast Louisiana Economic Development Alliance (NELEA). "If we’re going to attract big business to this area, the golf course, the lake and the executive housing is absolutely necessary."
