Great Local Course

I have played this course pretty often since the major reno back in 2018. They have done really great work with the new layout and course conditions. Several very interesting multi tier greens that roll true and pretty quick. Lots of challenging holes, but several tee options for all skill levels. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Golf Course

I went down to Lake Charles for one of my buddies bach parties and we played Contraband and I was very impressed with this golf course. I have played a lot of courses around the southern US especially in TX, AR and LA. This course was in fantastic condition and the grasses everywhere were spectacular to hit from. The greens were smooth and consistent and the ball rolled great. Fairways and tee boxes were some of the best I've played on. We got rained on basically the entire round and although it wasn't heavy, the course drained very well and there were only a couple of areas that played a little muddy. This is definitely a course I would like to visit again. I can't say enough about the staff working there. They were incredibly nice and willing to help. We hit balls at a nice range before and there was a large putting green to get some short game practice on before our round. Highly recommend this course if ever in the area. My only negative was the bunkers. It was raining so they were a little muddy but the sand also had quite a bit of pea gravel type rocks in it which I chose to avoid hitting out of. Overall a great course I hope to get to play again soon.
