About Contraband Bayou Golf Club

Contraband Bayou is the L'Auberge casino resort's own course, a Tom Fazio design that opened in 2004 along the bayou the resort is named for. Fazio built it around the marsh and lowlands, and you notice the water: eight lakes edged with aquatic plants, and wooden bridges carrying you over the smaller ponds. It's about 7,000 yards to a par 71 from the back, with at least four sets of tees on every hole.

Golf Channel's travel writer points to Fazio's bunkering, fairway contouring and greens. The greens were converted to Ultradwarf bermuda in 2010. The resort treatment shows up in the details: touch-screen GPS in the carts, a beverage cart, and a barrel of iced apples at the 10th tee.

It's one of 7 courses Yoink watches in the Lake Charles area, and the closest alternative is The National Golf Club of Louisiana, about 5 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
