LAFAYETTE MUNI GOLF COURSE

The cypress-lined fairways and strategic water hazards make this Louisiana municipal track a legitimate test that punishes wayward shots while rewarding local knowledge of the swampy terrain. What elevates this 72-par layout above typical muni fare is the way designer has used the natural bayou country topography to create risk-reward scenarios on nearly every hole, particularly the back nine where alligator-inhabited water comes into play. The Bermuda greens roll true year-round, and at these green fees, serious golfers get authentic Louisiana golf without the resort price tag.
