Contraband Bayou Golf Club At L'Auberge Du Lac

My cousin recommended this so we went and had a blast. Course was great shape no complaints. Love the gps system

Lots of sand on greens, very uneven and bumpy. Cart girls were excellent

Not what I expected for the money. I will not return

Love this place, feels like I’m in a vacation paradise when I’m on this course.

A golf buddy of mine and myself drove about 2 hours to play here at the neighboring course of Golden Nugget over a Friday Saturday. We were extremely disappointed in this course. The staff was very friendly but the course was below average. The layout was just OK for a Fazio design but the course conditions were just a notch above terrible especially for a green fee over $100. There is no on site restaurant or bar except for the nearby casino. There is plenty of merch in the Pro shop.

Range was closed, Tees and fairways were full of weeds and the greens were slow and grainy with recent top dressing. Even with perfect conditions, I would not pay more than $60-70 dollars for peak green fee and even then, the design is lackluster enough, I would not want to play here again.

The casino itself, restaurants and amenities are very nice. They need to put more money in tho their golf course.

The let two people play out of one bag.Greens had sand on them.All of that I would go back

Will play again. Course is the best around here and always in good condition. Thank You Golf Now !

Yep,

I had the day off and NEEDED to play golf!

Contraband Bayou’s Staff made it happen. It literally was the coldest day of the Year. Staff greeted me with a bright ‘’Hello Mr Martin” and a cup of hot coffee. Even though there was a chance of sleet, a charged, clean cart with a windshield, ice chest with water, tees and towels was made ready for me. The Onboard electronics were stunning and very easy to use.

At the turn, I was again welcomed with a smile and coffee. They even offered to recharge my phone!

Well, my score was unbelievable! ( because who would even believe that I played in such conditions) the Course was immaculate and the Experience was exactly what I needed to warm my heart on a stupidly cold 37degree afternoon.

Thanks #Golfmates

I’ll be back,

So good we paid for a second time around. Wet in a few areas but remarkably better than all the recent rain could have caused. Just loved it.

The course was just a bit too wet today so it was cart path only. There was some rain last night and several bunkers had not been raked and some very wet hard packed. Most of the fairways were in pretty good condition for winter time and the greens were rolling great!

Great place to play the course is fun and the staff is great

Muddy no grass. T boxes terrible. Weeds very little grass.

The only reason I couldn’t give the course conditions a five rating is because on the day of play the course had just reopened from a couple day shutdown due to rain. It was extremely wet. Fair ways and tee boxes were slush. It probably should have remained closed a few more days. The greens were great but a little slow due to being wet. If you plan a round bring mosquitoe repellent as for any south Louisiana courses it is a must.

Played on a hot Monday morning. Course in very good shape. Greens recovering from recent aeration, but it didn’t spoil the fun. Will play again when we are in Lake Charles.

GolfNow is usually great alerting us to course condition. We drove 60 miles only to find sand filled holes on all 18 greens. The pro shop didn't even say a word as we checked in. We understand the need and appreciate the effort. Be warned of recent aeration. That's all. Geat course.
