Les Vieux Chenes is south of Lafayette in Youngsville on Youngsville Highway. It's a mostly open links course designed by Marvin Ferguson in 1977 and plays to 6800 yards from the back tees. Reasonably priced course, it's closing for most of 2009 to undergo renovation, and hoping it will be better than even when it re-opens.

from the Advocate: Les Vieux Chenes municipal golf course re-opens today after an eight-month renovation of the greens.The $1.14 million project involved a replacement of the turf and changes in the shaping of the greens and bunkers to modernize the course.“You tear out everything and rebuild it from the ground up,” Lafayette Parks and Recreation Director Gerald Boudreaux said.Vieux Chenes, one of Lafayette’s three municipal golf courses, opened in the 1970s.The recent project was the first greens renovation for the course, and Boudreaux said the Professional Golf Association recommends renovation at least every 15 years.
