About Links On the Bayou
Links On the Bayou is a municipal course in Alexandria, Louisiana, built in an American links style that sets it apart from the region's more conventional layouts. The 18-hole design suits both riding and walking, and five sets of tees make it playable for everyone from beginners to professionals.
Practice facilities include a driving range, a putting green, a chipping green and a short-game area with several greens and bunkers.
The course hosts a number of tournaments, among them its City Championship, along with state and regional events, professional tour stops and qualifiers.
