Contraband Bayou Golf Club At L'Auberge Du Lac

Great day of golf with my wife. Traffic on the course was light, so we could take our time. We were impressed with the GPS units on the carts (no guessing yardage) My wife was more impressed with the on-course rest stations, ice water, iced towels, and air conditions restrooms.

The only negative for us was the bunkers. It either rained recently or they are close to sprinkler heads.

Although it was early March the course was in pretty good shape. Carts were very nice and the staff was very polite. Enjoyed the day and would recommend the course for all. We will play it again.

From the moment I arrived until my departure I was super impressed with my entire experience. The staff was extremely friendly, practice facility was well manicured, and the fairways and greens were perfect. Thanks again for an amazing day.

I went down to Lake Charles for one of my buddies bach parties and we played Contraband and I was very impressed with this golf course. I have played a lot of courses around the southern US especially in TX, AR and LA. This course was in fantastic condition and the grasses everywhere were spectacular to hit from. The greens were smooth and consistent and the ball rolled great. Fairways and tee boxes were some of the best I've played on. We got rained on basically the entire round and although it wasn't heavy, the course drained very well and there were only a couple of areas that played a little muddy. This is definitely a course I would like to visit again. I can't say enough about the staff working there. They were incredibly nice and willing to help. We hit balls at a nice range before and there was a large putting green to get some short game practice on before our round. Highly recommend this course if ever in the area. My only negative was the bunkers. It was raining so they were a little muddy but the sand also had quite a bit of pea gravel type rocks in it which I chose to avoid hitting out of. Overall a great course I hope to get to play again soon.

well it turned out to be the most perfect day i have had, and having my wife with me made it even better. The course was great regardless the rain during the week. thank you

Great layout, amenities are fantastic, the staff goes above and beyond to ensure you are happy and treated as if your worth a million dollars. The GPS System in the carts are great. The only complaint was pace of play, had a group of 8 and they were to only play 5 players and play best ball which did not happen. There should be better monitoring of large groups while playing.

Was disappointed by the course. Highlight was the very friendly and efficient pro shop staff.

To start, the range wasn't set up when we arrived and still wasn't when we teed off at our start time.

Due to the extreme rain over the past week, wasn't expecting great course conditions, but they were better than expected though the greens were quite slow.

The trouble was the course design. First 8 holes weren't much more intriguing than your average muni. Starting with hole 9, the layout became a bit better. But the greens were not very interesting. All in all, probably the least impressive of the 20+ Fazio courses I've played.

Have not played any other courses in the Lake Charles area, so don't have anything to compare to from a value proposition. But for $49, I would recommend giving it a shot but keep your expectations fairly low.

The golf ourse is challenging and fair. Bad shots punish you and good shots are rewarded. Great day playing with my son. Amenities met expectations and the staff was courteous. Thank you!

Found a HOT DEAL, & was concerned that the deal was too good to be true. Everything from the bag-drop attendant thru out the day was TOP NOTCH! The (adult beverages) on the course we're well worth $6 per drink, I was enjoying the prices! Overall course conditions were good, few bare spots on greens but not a deal breaker. This is a high end $45 course, be sure to look for the HOT DEALS.

Everything here is on the up and up! Great course and Great conditions! Carts and their GPS yardage is on the money! We had a great day and planety to drink with the cart girl making quick rounds! I'll be back soon.....

Staff was very courteous and friendly. Fairways in great shape. Greens had some spotty issues but very playable. Would definitely recommend to others.

Staying in the fairway on this course is a huge advantage. I knocked at least 7 strokes off my score, thanks in large part to the conditions of the fairway.

3-some with my sons. Will play here again, no doubt. Course was in perfect condition. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Plenty of amenities.

Excellent course had a great time. The golf carts are equipped with touch screen and GPS. The snack/beer cart came by often. Had a great time and I'm looking forward to playing again soon!
