Love this course. Perfect place to get in a quick 9 or 18. Greens could use a little work but overall we love this place.

Dad/Son Day

Pace of play was very slow. . Too many people to a group. Drinking beer and playing golf a No No. Stop drinking or go elsewhere. More active, proactive marshaling.. Not just sitting at number 1 tee box. Get out, drive around to speed the pace of play.

City Park Golf Course

Nice little 9-hole course. Greens are not in the best of condition but the course has been improving over the last twelve months. A lot of the scrub and bushes had been cut back over the winter, but starting to overgrow again.

All in all its good value for money

Nice 9-hole course limited resources

Pretty overall decent course for a 9 hole course.

I hate going to 9 hole courses and never pulling out the driver at least you have some driving opportunities here. Keep in mind a few things

1 they don’t have a driving range

2 no cart girl so pack your own water and snacks

3- very hilly (please watch the party in front of you so you ensure everyone’s safety)

4- greens are super fast, barely tap it and it’s flying (they do have a practicing putting area, when you aren’t dodging someone else chipping)

5- the staff was rude this morning in the clubhouse, not sure if it is short man syndrome, or if his wife left him that day but he was not pleasant.

Nice course

Nice 9 hole course, guy who answered the phone let me change my tee time but when golf cart ran out of juice the attendant told me “nothing I can do for you”, so played only 9 of the 18 I paid for

Not so quick 9-hole times 2

First time playing this course. Learned it is only 9-Holes. So I paid for 2 rounds of 9-hole golf.

The first round of 9 wasn’t bad. The second round was awful. Pace of play went downhill. There were at least 4 different groups waiting at the same hole at times.

Ended up calling it at the 7th hole which really is an awful hole. Because of the hill, you’re blind to the direction of the green and the pin.

Beautiful day at Historic City Park Course

You can never be too early to play at City Park if you plan 18 holes on the 9 hole course. Front 9 was a learning round but the pace was good. As a single was able to play through a slow group and the pace was good. The course had some surprises that a first time player won't know until they get in trouble - the roads and tracks are closer than you think and 8th hole direction not clear from the tees as the cart path turns right but the course goes left. Was a fun day even though had to do some scrambling to save par on many holes.

Great course!

Awesome little 9 hole course for the price. Greens are nice. Pace of play was pretty slow. Played by myself and when I went to start the back 9….the 10th hole had about 4 groups of people waiting to tee off.

This course has made some big improvements especially clearing out some of the bushes/brush on some of the holes (not so many lost balls!)

Greens still need a bit of work but overall it’s good value for money

Greens and tee boxes were bad

For a 9 hole course, it should be a bit easier to maintain. The greens are tee boxes were pretty bad. Staff was not interested in being accommodating. So much so that the gentleman driving the blower blew grass in our faces on the first tee. He told us to turn away rather than waiting for us to tee off.

Historic City Park

The layout of the course is neat going through the hilly area of Baton Rouge. The fairways are tight and narrow which provides a huge challenge. The greens were in okay condition. Not the fastest greens I’ve played on. The course overall is worth the money.

Good Value But Play is Often Slow

I like the course and have played there a lot. The course is much better in terms of maintenance than in previous years. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and it’s nice to be able to practice chipping and putting on the practice green. The problem is there are too many people walking and it slows down the pace since most people are riding. You just can’t spread out enough with only 9 holes and limited space.

Very Slow pace of play

This course has been a go to for me for about a decade or so. Considering other local options as the pace of play has got ridiculous to say the least. Five or even six different groups all waiting to tee off at the same time, with three groups coming off number nine to finish their round. This is absurd. Our group wound up having to skip ahead several holes on multiple occasions to keep pace of play. I understand there may be a lot of new comers to the sport and that is encouraging. However, don’t book tee times and allow everyone walking up to start play immediately and cause the fiasco I witnessed at hole number one. A little attention to detail could really alleviate this, and make this place a lot more enjoyable for everyone.
