Greens were not good at all. Probably will never play there again.

Bad management

Golf carts are filthy and many break down on the course. Greens are awful. No Marshalls keep up the pace of play. One of the worst places to play in New Orleans.

Great day to golf

Joseph Bartholemew golf course is a very well maintained course with a very fair price. I love the the location which is about 10 minutes from my house. So I love the convenience and accessible to go and play whenever I feel like. The staff is very hospitable. One of my favorite courses.

Golfing on a budget

Course is good enough for the price. $40 for greens fee and cart isn’t bad at all. Front half of the course wasn’t as well kept as the back half, but overall good enough for the price.

Cow pasture

Rough growing in the fairways, greens are like putting on a plinko board.

Good value!

Smooth cart path, cold water on couple holes, saw Beer cart twice during 18 holes. Bathrooms on front and back were clean. Overall it was better than I expected from New Orleans. Easy to lose balls just off the fairway with the type of grass even though it had been cut recently. Had a good club sandwich at The Who dat party at the back nine lounge.

Course is in terrible shape. It used to be the best deal in town. We have been playing this course every week for over 5 years. But sadly we are being forced to look for another course to play our weekly round. I wish they could fix the problem but the problem seems so large I don’t think the current staff can make it happen.

Greens

All of the greens were under repair....I was told that the hot weather “burnt” the greens.

I skipped putting on 16 holes.

The course is really in bad shape. Greens are full of bad areas. Around the greens the collar’s are mostly dirt. If you land short of the greens your ball just dies. Very disappointing. We have been playing this course for many years.

Nice Sunday afternoon

The course was in good shape for the summertime.

Wasn’t crowded at all felt like I had the course to myself.

Had a great relaxing round
