About This Course

Contraband Bayou Golf Club at L'Auberge Casino Resort offers a challenging 18-hole, par-71 layout with multiple tee box options ranging from 5091 to 7036 yards. The course features strategic variety with several short par-3s and longer holes testing accuracy, though maintenance inconsistencies including green speed variations and occasional fairway weed issues affect playability. While some reviewers praise the layout and value, others note overpricing, slow pace of play management, and limited amenities like beverage cart service delays. Best suited for golfers who prioritize course challenge over resort amenities.

Who Should Play Here?

Beginner Playable

Beginners can play this course but should be aware of inconsistent maintenance and pace of play issues. The shorter tee options (Silver at 5091 yards) provide more manageable yardages, though green speed consistency may be challenging.

  • Consider playing from Silver or Gold tees for better value
  • Be prepared for potential beverage cart delays during your round
  • Allow extra time for pace of play as management is inconsistent
Intermediate Recommended

Mid-handicap golfers will find a challenging layout with strategic variety. The course tests course management with several short par-3s and longer holes requiring precision, but maintenance inconsistencies can affect scoring opportunities.

  • Watch green speeds carefully - they vary significantly by hole
  • Pace of play can be slow on busy days - arrive early for tee times
  • Bunker conditions may not be optimal - plan shots accordingly
Advanced Playable

Low-handicap golfers will appreciate the strategic variety and length options, but inconsistent maintenance and pace of play management limit championship appeal. The 130 slope rating indicates legitimate challenge for skilled players.

  • Black tees offer proper challenge at 7036 yards with par 71
  • Green speed inconsistency may affect scoring - read conditions carefully
  • Consider weekday tee times to avoid pace of play issues
