A new ordinance, unanimously approved by the Lafayette City Council, establishes a 25% weekday discount for veterans at all three Lafayette municipal golf courses.
The 25% discount applies to weekday greens fees for veterans presenting valid military identification.
The discount took effect Monday, and will be honored Mondays through Fridays at the following LCG-owned golf courses:
• Jay & Lionel Hebert Municipal Golf Course
• Les Vieux Chênes Golf Course
• The Wetlands Golf Course
“Our veterans represent the strength, courage, and character of Lafayette. We want them to feel welcome and appreciated in every corner of our community, including the recreational spaces that bring people together,” said Mayor-President Monique B. Boulet. “Our municipal golf courses are community assets, and we are proud to make them even more accessible to the men and women who have served our nation.”
“Lafayette Parish is now the only parish (county) in the entire country to offer this specific discount amount to our veterans, and we will continue to create unique, advantage-driven initiatives to make our region as ‘veteran-ready’ as possible. The Veterans Affairs Commission applauds this administration for continuing to create opportunities that honor and support our veteran community. Recreation and wellness are vital to quality of life, and this discount is a meaningful step in ensuring that every veteran in Lafayette Parish feels valued,” said Lafayette Veterans Affairs Commission Chair, Andrew Ward.
LCG’s Parks, Arts, Recreation & Culture (PARC) Department will continue exploring additional ways to support local veterans through accessible recreation, wellness opportunities, and expanded community programming.
