Baton Rouge, Louisiana · East Baton Rouge Parish · 70810
Country Club of Louisiana is a gated community in south Baton Rouge, 70810, wrapped around a private Jack Nicklaus course that opened in 1986. The fact that catches sellers and buyers out: buying a home here does not make you a club member. The club requires member sponsors and board approval, and the property owners association is a separate body from the club entirely.

Country Club of Louisiana
A gated residential community in south Baton Rouge built around a private Jack Nicklaus golf course, with a property owners association that is separate from the club.
The club's own membership page states that all membership applications require member sponsors and must be approved by the club's board of directors. Memberships come in Golf, Social, National and Corporate categories. A buyer who assumes the house comes with tee times is a buyer who renegotiates late. Get ahead of it in the listing.
The club publishes a separate POA main gate line from its clubhouse, membership, golf and tennis numbers. They govern different things and carry different obligations. A resale packet needs both, and they do not arrive together.
Nicklaus Design records 20 greenside bunkers rebuilt in 2007 with new drainage and sand, and a redesigned layout opened to members in 2012. If your home fronts the course, that history is worth knowing when a buyer asks what they are looking at.
Neither the POA dues nor the club's dues are published anywhere public, and the POA's own website is currently offline. Anyone quoting you a number from a listing site is repeating something they cannot source. Get it from the association in writing before you price.

Sources for this page
Every fact in the table above is linked to a public source, and those links are printed here. Anything we could not source that way is not on the page at all, including dues figures no association publishes. Details published by an association, a developer or a builder can change without notice, and nothing here is a substitute for the covenants, the association's own documents or the act of sale. If a figure matters to your decision, ask us and we will get it in writing from the source.
The numbers
Most subdivision pages you will find publish a median sale price for the neighborhood. In a subdivision that turns over a handful of homes a year, that number is built on so few sales that one unusual closing swings it by tens of thousands. Published as a fact, it is misleading. We are not going to do that.
What is real is the parish-level data below, and the actual closed sales inside Country Club of Louisiana — which we will pull from the MLS and walk you through, address by address, rather than average into a number that fits on a web page.
| Area | Median sale price | vs. last year | Days on market | Sale-to-list |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baton Rouge (city) | $269,000 | +5.5% | 30 | 97.2% |
| East Baton Rouge Parish | $275,000 | +4.2% | 32 | 97.4% |
| Gonzales | $290,428 | −3.2% | 26 | 98.6% |
| Prairieville | $337,750 | −4.3% | 28 | 98.8% |

Property tax
It is not automatic, and it does not come with the house when you buy.
Homes are assessed at 10% of market value, and homestead removes the first $7,500 of assessed value from parish taxes on your primary residence. In East Baton Rouge that is typically worth about $750 to $800 a year.
In East Baton Rouge you file in person, with the parish assessor, and you must own and live in the home by December 31. It is not automatic: the buyer of your home files their own, and if you are buying next, you file again at the new address. Your share of the year's taxes is prorated through the closing date and credited to the buyer at the act of sale.

EBR tax bills are mailed in late November and are due December 31. The assessment freeze and the disabled-veterans exemption are both on the East Baton Rouge Parish page.
Gather before you list
Flood
Louisiana's property disclosure document makes you state the flood zone and where you got it, whether the land or any structure has ever flooded, whether you carry flood insurance, whether you have an elevation certificate, and whether you or a previous owner made an NFIP or private flood claim — with the amounts.
The City of Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish publish flood information for the parish, and FEMA's Flood Map Service Center is the source the state disclosure form itself points sellers at. What the zones mean, whether insurance is required, and whether you can hand your policy to the buyer: our Louisiana flood zone and insurance guide.
Couldn't have had a better person handling the sale of my home. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, very attentive, prompt and stays on top of everything. I definitely recommend her services!

Questions
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in East Baton Rouge Parish, ZIP 70810. A gated residential community in south Baton Rouge built around a private Jack Nicklaus golf course, with a property owners association that is separate from the club.
Two homes on the same street here can carry different club standing, because membership runs through sponsors and board approval and does not come with the house. A comp set that ignores that is quietly comparing two different products.
So we will not put a median on this page. A subdivision that sells a handful of homes a year does not produce a stable one — a single unusual sale moves it by tens of thousands, and publishing that as a fact would mislead you about your own house. Parish-level medians are stable enough to publish; street-level ones are not. The honest number comes from the closed sales that are genuinely comparable to yours, adjusted for floor plan, condition and lot, and we will pull them and show you the work. Ask for the number and you will usually have it within one business day.
No, and this is the single most common misunderstanding about the neighborhood. The club has four membership categories — Golf, Social, National and Corporate — and joining requires member sponsors plus board approval. Membership is not conferred by buying a home inside the gates. If club access matters to a buyer, that is a separate process to start early, not something that closes with the house.
They are two separate bodies. The property owners association exists and is distinct from the club; the club lists a separate POA main gate line. The POA’s website is currently offline, so its legal name and dues are not publicly verifiable, and we will not publish a figure we cannot source. Request the current POA assessment and the club’s dues schedule in writing before you price or offer.
An 18-hole private course, par 72, over 7,100 yards, designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1986. Twenty greenside bunkers were rebuilt in 2007 with new drainage and sand, and a redesigned layout opened to members in 2012. The club also runs fitness and wellness, racquets, a pool, and dining and events.
The parish baseline: homes took a median 30 days on market in Baton Rouge and 32 across East Baton Rouge Parish over July through September 2026 (ROAM MLS), then 30 to 45 days to the act of sale.
A buyer who wants the club has a sponsorship and approval process to run that sits outside your closing timeline entirely. Knowing where a buyer is in that process is part of reading their offer, not a formality. When you list moves it too.
Three things are the same for every seller in East Baton Rouge Parish, so they live on their own pages rather than being repeated on each subdivision page: what a sale actually costs you on the seller net sheet; the homestead exemption, how it is filed and why it does not transfer to your buyer, in the East Baton Rouge Parish guide; and when to list.
