Golf in New Iberia

Iberia Parish sits in the heart of Cajun Country, its economy historically built on sugarcane and salt — Avery Island, technically a salt dome rather than an island, is the home of the McIlhenny family's Tabasco sauce facility. New Iberia is the parish seat and the largest town in the Teche country, sitting along Bayou Teche in the landscape that inspired Longfellow's Evangeline. Squirrel Run Golf Club provides the local golf option in a community where the cultural identity runs deep: zydeco music, crawfish étouffée, and the French-language mass at old Catholic churches are not tourist attractions but lived practice. The flat bayou terrain gives the course its characteristic water presence and live-oak framing.
