Frequently Asked Questions

As a non-member, how can I get a tee time at Bayou Desiard Country Club?

The course truly tests your precision, especially with water in play on nearly every hole, living up to its 'Bayou' name. We particularly love the par-3 17th - it's a beautiful, intimidating shot over water that demands a confident swing to avoid a splash. You'll need to think strategically off the tee here.

We highly recommend visiting in the spring (March-May) or fall (October-November) to experience Bayou Desiard at its peak. During these seasons, you'll enjoy comfortable temperatures and lush, perfectly maintained fairways and greens. Avoid the peak summer heat and humidity if you can.

You can expect top-notch conditions at Bayou Desiard; the grounds crew truly takes pride in their work. The greens roll true and fast, and the fairways are consistently manicured, offering excellent lies. It's a testament to a well-run country club.

What unique local tips or expectations should I have for a round at Bayou Desiard?

Beyond the golf, be prepared for a genuinely friendly, welcoming atmosphere from both staff and members - it's classic Southern hospitality.
