Contraband Bayou Golf Club At L'Auberge Du Lac

fairways and bunkers were in immaculate condition. however, the same cannot be said for the greens. patchy areas of thick grass effecting the speed and trajectory of the putts. i used my golfnow points to get an amazing price to play such a prestigious course on the weekend.

The greens and ter boxes were in rough shape. Overall a great experience. I'd go back but not for full price. Mallard is nice for much less money.

We played a few weeks after hurricane Beryl soaked this area. Two other courses we played were still trying to get the turf under control after not having been able to mow in wet conditions for a couple of weeks. It appears this course drains well enough to have handled the excess rainfall.

While rough was still challenging in spots, the fairways and greens were in great shape. Pace of play was great, (maybe because it was too hot for the average golfer, lol).

They built a lot of undulation into the course design, differentiating this track from most of the others in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed playing here.

I enjoyed the layout of the course and the amenities like the practice area. The course isn’t that difficult if you can keep it in the fairway…. But if you’re off in the rough you’ll have some issues. Being in the rough was a challenge as the ball would almost sit down in it.

Looking forward to going back to play again.

The greens were recently aerated then covered with sand. Just added a little difficulty with putting speed and accuracy. Played as a single and one group let me thru on the 4th or 5th hole then played straight thru the rest of the 18 holes w/o any waiting. Fairways and bunkers were in great shape. Biggest complaint is their water stations had no water and the heat index was in triple digits. Only water was the two 10 oz or so bottled waters in the ice chest they provided which I had filled with ice prior to playing.

Greens has just been aerated

They should be much better in 3 weeks

Probably should have asked

After storms rolled in early in the week course was in great condition. Was damp in some areas but other than that could not ask for better playing conditions.

Unbearably hot, but had a great time! Very nice golf coarse. Greens were recently sanded which was the only reason for the less than perfect rating. Will be going back again!

The mosquitos this time of year are normally bad, but this course is almost unplayable due to the mosquitos. Mosquito spray does absolutely nothing to these overly aggressive Louisiana’s mosquitos. I recommend playing this course after a week long drought.
