What makes Bayou Barriere tricky

The par 5s represent the best opportunities for birdies provided the tee shots find the fairway.

Where most golfers lose shots at Bayou Barriere

The most common error is attempting to carry corners on doglegs over hazards, which often results in lost balls. Golfers frequently underestimate the impact of wind moving across the flat, open landscape. Over-aggressive play on pins tucked near water leads to unnecessary penalty strokes.
