SQUIRREL RUN GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 New Iberia, LA, USA
Designed by Joe Lee
Squirrel Run Golf Club's Steeple Course is located in New Iberia, Louisiana, in the heart of Cajun country along the Bayou Teche corridor. Designed by Joe Lee, a prolific architect known for his work throughout the southeastern United States and particularly in Florida, the course reflects his characteristic approach to routing golf holes through natural terrain with an emphasis on playability across different skill levels. Lee's designs typically incorporate the existing landscape features while creating strategic interest through thoughtful bunkering and green complexes.
The course occupies land in south-central Louisiana, where the topography is generally flat to gently rolling, typical of the coastal plain region. Water features—whether natural bayous, drainage corridors, or constructed ponds—often play a role in the design, as does the native vegetation of live oaks, pines, and wetland margins. The climate allows for year-round bermudagrass playing surfaces, and the setting provides a distinctly regional character shaped by the surrounding agricultural and cultural landscape of Acadiana.
Squirrel Run serves as a semi-private facility, offering both member and public access in a region where golf courses provide recreational opportunities for local communities as well as visitors exploring southern Louisiana. The club reflects the casual, welcoming atmosphere common to many Louisiana golf venues, where the game is enjoyed alongside the area's well-known culinary and cultural traditions.
