Destrehan sits in the heart of St. Charles Parish, a stretch of southeastern Louisiana wedged between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, where the landscape is defined by flat, low-lying terrain, Spanish moss draped from ancient oaks, and the kind of subtropical humidity that makes every round feel like a full-body workout by July. Golf in this corridor of the River Parishes has always carried a distinctly local, community-focused character — courses here serve the working neighborhoods and subdivisions that grew up around the petrochemical industry lining the river road.
The "Cypress Lakes" name points directly to the defining feature of golf in this part of Louisiana: the cypress-studded water hazards and drainage canals that wind through virtually every layout in the region. These aren't decorative ponds — they're active water management systems, and they punish wayward shots with finality. Wind off the river adds another variable that rarely shows up in the scorecard.
As a country club layout serving the Ormond community, this course likely rewards members who learn its particular rhythms — which holes the afternoon breeze makes genuinely dangerous, and where local knowledge quietly separates regulars from visitors.
