Stonebridge Golf Club of New Orleans - Championship Course

For me, this course is in the top three value-for-the-money here in New Orleans. The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. The practice facilities are above average. My only complaint is that the driving range is limited to irons. It is, however, included in the cost of your round. The chipping area and putting area are well-kept and have enough variables to allow you to practice a large variety. The carts are maintained well, but the speed regulators are set a little slow for my tastes.

Course conditions are about what one would expect from a course in this price range that's open to the public. Fairways are well mowed and divots are kept filled. Green can be a little patchy sometimes. Bunkers are unfortunately a low point. Drainage is bad in the bunkers leading to about 30% having large pools of water. About 50% of those without water are filled with very rocky dirt. Not sand, dirt. But, for the price, I expected something to be off, and of all the things that outdoor be wrong, bunkers would be my preference. Shouldn't be hitting into them anyway.

The course has some varied elements, and is more challenging than most in the area at this price range. The views are pleasant, and I find I pull every club at least once a round.

All in all, I'd say it's worth a play. Or two... or five...

Course was not in good shape. Bunkers were not raked and they were wet. Most had water and were muddy. It did rain earlier in the day and previous day. Course was not that wet. Greens were thin and had lots of Poa Annua and were bumpy. Maybe it was the time of year and the grass had not fully started to cover the greens. 3rd nine was not marked and was difficult to figure out the first time. Course overall was not in good condition and based on the high ratings was not what I expected. Reasonably priced for the condition.

We have played a wide variety of courses around the US including championship courses and small neighborhood courses. We can appreciate inexpensive, no-frills courses and played this as a precursor to a more upscale course (TPC) the following day. Despite our measured expectation, this was BY FAR THE WORST COURSE WE HAVE EVER PLAYED. The course was not only horribly maintained, the surrounding scenery consisted of industrial parks and poorly maintained neighborhoods. There was some construction around the first few holes, but the remainder of the course was only modestly better. Staff was friendly, club house was reasonable, probably very nice a few decades ago. Unless there is a major renovation/upgrades to the course, we would NOT RECOMMEND THIS COURSE to even the least picky of golfers.

Much improved course compared to the last time we played. Some of the greens are a bit banged up ,but you can see they are putting work into them ,and the good greens are good,fast and challenging.

Had a great deal for the round. Played quick with minimal waiting. Greens had been sanded, but rolled fast and true.

Had a good hamburger at the turn.

No problems encountered. Staff was very accommodating.

The golf course was not in good condition. The greens were some of the worst I have seen. Most of the greens had a fungus on them. The pace of play was good but their was not many people playing. It will be a long time before I play it again.

This course is in Gretna just over the bridge from New Orleans. Plenty of water there is a river, a canal and standing water. Fairways are dotted with bunkers. The sand is not consistent throughout. Greens are a little slow, but pretty good overall. Service was terrific. Pro shop in back and hard to find. Range balls included and already at the range. Range is irons only (200 yards). Price was good for non- residents. Play early to miss the crowds and heat. Not as long as advertised in Golfnow. (7200) Ranges from about 5400-6700. Overall a good golf experience.

The course was average, we played in the middle of a hot day so pace of play was good. The rough had a lot of old mowed grass which at times made it hard to find your ball. The greens were OK, some had bad spots on them. Overall it was fun to play.

Greens are completely dead. Deplorable

Gretna and Stonebridge was wonderful for location and price if you get to play the full championship track. Layout was good; it was fair and yet a few of the holes challenging especially playing from the back tees. Wish the grass hadn't been hit so hard by the weather as most of the course was brown. Greens were for the most part hard, fast (despite the rain) and brown. They hadn't recovered from fall/winter over seeding and aeration. Course levee construction prevented us from playing the back 9 so we had to play the executive course. I do have to say for an executive course it is better than what Illinois courses call executive it even had a par 5 and a couple par 4's. Alas that was also with three holes with temporary tees and or greens. Kind of a mess this one is worth the try once they get things back to normal.

Played with 2 friends of mine and none of us were impressed by the course at all. Cart paths were ripped up in spots due to consruction. Greens were not in very good condition. I've played worse courses but the price we paid for this course, we expected a whole lot better. I won't be returning anytime for the foreseeable future.

I really enjoyed the layout, several interesting holes that require you to think before you swing. I look forward to playing the course again when the greens are in better shape. Word is all of the rain this past winter did a number on the greens. Right now, they're lacking in the grass department. But, for what I paid through GolfNow, I found the course to be fair and fun. Played the last 10 holes with a group of regulars, and that made things a little bit easier.

Arrived as a single, the gentleman at the Pro Shop was very professional and accommodating got me out with next group.

Pace was a little slow mostly cause by our group that had a beginner. the course was a wet form the heavy rain the days preceding but the greens were well drained.

all in all a nice Sunday....

The weather was beautiful and the course did not disappoint. This was my first round on this course and I will be back for more! The conditions for this time of year were pretty good. It looked like the greens had recently been worked but other than that I can't complain. I really enjoyed the layout. Most of the par 5's were a challenge, it would take 2 excellent shots to be on in 2, but that's the way I like them. I can't wait to go back and play this course again soon! They have great special going on in March and I hope to take advantage again!

27 hole course. Many hazards and bunkers. Good large greens. Plenty of space. Challenging but not hard. Nice people. Free range balls. Chipping and putting areas. Good value for a really nice place.

Greens were very fast; fairways were cut; bunkers are ok
