Successful New Orleans-area developers Morgan Earnest and Lester Kabacoff had a dream, Beau Chêne, a recreationally-oriented environment in which primary home development could be harmonious with open space and nature. A gorgeous piece of land in St. Tammany Parish, due north of New Orleans across Lake Pontchartrain, was purchased in 1972, and the dream began to become a reality.

Today 1,500 single family homes and villas all exist in a manner which extends sight lines to golf courses, green belts, lake or river views. The Country Club is the beating heart of the community with 36 holes of golf designed by famed Course Architect Joe Lee, a tennis complex with 10 outdoor (2 rubico) and 2 air conditioned indoor courts, a well-equipped fitness facility and a large pool complex featuring a family pool, adult pool and baby pool.

The Inman family acquired The Earnest Corporation in July 2016 from The Earnest Family to ensure the long-term success of the club and its experience for its members.  Under their leadership the club is constantly improving both the facility and the member experience so our members need only ONE CLUB FOR LIFE.
