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.
