Lafayette, LA

Farm d'Allie Golf Club sits on bottomland known locally as Beau Bassin in Carencro, near Lafayette, Louisiana, once part of the historic Mississippi riverbed. The 215-acre property includes the Coteau Ridge, one of the highest points in Lafayette Parish, and was previously used for row crops, cattle grazing and horseback riding. The golf course was designed by Jeffery D. Blume and opened in February 2003, following the earlier opening of a practice and teaching facility on the same land in 2000. Fourteen interconnected lakes serve as an irrigation reservoir and come into play throughout the round. The par-72 course plays to roughly 7,000 yards from the back tees across six sets of tees, with fairways cut into gumbo-type soil sculpted to add elevation change. The club includes a teaching facility with an LPGA-certified instructor.

The property also features large undulating greens.
