The earliest record of a family to call themselves "Calvert" is found in the Angus District (Gaelic Name: Aonghas) off the northeast coast of Scotland. The word "Calvert" has its origin in the word "Calverds", stemming from "calyeherd", which indicates it is an occupational name having to do with herding or keeping calves or cattle. They had lands in Fife, birthplace of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, which some consider the birthplace of the game of golf. These early Calverts were probably some of those herders in the hills of Scotland knocking rocks around with crooked-end staffs. They would probably be surprised to know that their lonely, wee game is played all over the world today.

Calverts became the lords of Baltimore in England, then on to Ireland, and on to America where the State of Maryland was settled in the 1630's under a royal grant to George and Cecil Calvert, Lords Baltimore. Fortunately for us, some of these Calverts migrated south and settled their families in the hills of North Louisiana. Today you have the opportunity to participate in this ancient game of golf, while enjoying the tranquil peace and unending beauty of lands once owned by a family with ties to the origin of this magnificent sport.

Calvert Crossing Golf Club, L.L.C., is privately owned and operated for the pleasure of club members and their guests.

Constructed in 1999, the eighteen-hole course at Calvert Crossing Golf Club is lying on approximately 400 acres in the rolling hills of West Ouachita Parish. Calvert Crossing has USGA Spec greens with Tif-Eagle Turf. This hybrid turf has the playing similarity to bent-grass.
