Stay away from the water left when attacking the flag on the 18th.Įven following a group of 16, who teed off ahead of us, the round was basically right on 4 hours in duration. Number of really great holes, just check out the pictures. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a boring course, there are a It is the perfect setting for a stress-free egoīoosting round. Lined with beautiful trees, an abundance of ponds and lakes home to egrets, heronsĪnd, yes, gators, as well as nicely shaped bunkers. The course with its wide open spacious feel is From 200 yards into the wind I get all of this 3 hybrid to 15 feet on 16. Myra won the hole and I went 4 down instead of 2 and on the 14 th green I was done like dinner. Although I nailed it “off the rug” beautifully it meant I left myself with my least favorite of all shots the 50-yard half shot over 2 bunkers to an elevated green.

The turning point in the match being the Par 5 9 th when after bombing my longest drive of the day, I opted to go for the front of the green hitting driver again. The par 3 8th is a phenomenal hole in many ways.

For the second round in a row, she hoisted the winning trophy or in this case the winning chocolate brownie. It’s also apparently the way Myra is going to obtain dinners and desserts. It’s a very rewarding way to create some healthy competition between players of different skill levels. Myra’s latest craze is to play match play one I never object to as I lived in the UK for 6 years where it’s commonly done. Looking green ward from the very wide landing area on the Par 4 7th All 18 were in great shape and void of anything ridiculously undulating. The greens won’t win any awards for speed, but they will for consistency. The course is basically flat and really relaxing to play. Looking down the fairway at the green on the Par 5 – 1 st some 600 yards away didn’t have my knees a knocking as the Fazio design team has provided some of the widest landing areas of all the courses we have played on this trip and all the previous ones. The access to everything you need to warm up and also improve your look is very convenient for the golfer.

The course has a great driving range and practice green close by and a very well laid out and stylish pro shop. The beautiful view towards the Par 4 2nd green. The L’Auberge looms over the course creating an impressive back drop and at As you can see in a number of the photos we took,
The adjacent L’Auberge Casino and Resort Hotel, it was less than one minuteįrom the hotel to the clubhouse. Based on his email back to me a few days earlier we showed up Thursday morningĪbout 10 am and within 45 minutes were poised to tee off. Operations Manager, Scott Davey, was completely “chill” getting us on theĬourse. Trust me, it’s no slouch when it comes to The course is the epitome of relaxing, resort The long and straight opening Par 5 1st hole. The course could host an event put on by the “Go out with your wife and have a great time tour” or the lesser known “Guys and gals in seek of fun playing golf where you don’t lose 12 balls and wanna break your clubs” tour. There are also other obvious key factors to hosting a marquee tournament, but even if those were met Contraband Bayou wouldn’t make the short list or even the long one and am I ever glad. Fazio didn’t build a challenging tough course worthy of hosting a premier event. This may be alarming at first to suggest Mr. It’s highly unlikely the PGA or LPGA tour representatives are going to pick up the phone and inquire about hosting a tournament at the latest Fazio course I visited and played, Contraband Bayou in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I have played a few of them including Sea Island GC, The Fairmont Del Mar and Palmetto Dunes. When you look at the impressive list of courses designed by the iconic master of golf course construction Tom Fazio, dozens of them are sites or former sites of PGA and LPGA events.
