Farm
D'Allie, located in South Louisiana, is a spectacular eighteen-hole
championship golf course crafted by golf course architect
Jeffery D. Blume.
Comprised of 215 acres, much of the course is nestled in
what Acadians called bottomland or beaubassin, which was
once the riverbed of the Mighty Mississippi. The upper bank,
the Coteau Ridge, runs north and south extending through
several parishes. At this location, the 55-foot elevation
above sea level is the highest point recorded in Lafayette
Parish. At one point, this tract was used for growing cotton
and soybeans, raising cattle, and was a popular place for
locals to ride their horses. Hence, Farm D'Allie was named
for the rich history of the land.
The gumbo-type soil was precisely sculpted to show elevation
change within the rolling fairways. The fourteen lakes are
carefully interconnected below ground to serve as one reservoir
that is used as the source for irrigation.
In 1997, the owner/developer, Allison Ramsay, had a vision
for a first class practice facility in a serene and tranquil
environment. In October of 2000, the vision became a reality
and the doors opened to the teaching facility, Golf D'Allie.
The driving range is home to all levels of golfers and many
area golf teams. After the opening and success of the teaching
facility, her vision expanded and she saw a need for an
18-Hole championship facility, Farm D'Allie. In February,
2001, that idea began to take shape, and where you stand
today is a result of Allison's hard work, determination
and love for the game.
