Very nice

For the money you cannot beat this course. Nicely maintained, wonderful oak and cypress trees., and nice club house. More impressive is there are adding more amenities. Great city owned corse, Whoever runs this course should run the whole city.

Best Value around

My first time to play the course. I've played most courses in the NOLA area . This course is a great value. The Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in great shape. The Marshall was actually keeping play at a good pace too. The grill made a great burger as well. I will be back .

Excellent condition

The course, tee boxes, fairways, and especially greens are always in impeccable condition! Sand bottles provided on carts to repair divots. Staff is extremely friendly and efficient. Highly recommended!!!

Too Many People Booked at Once

Large match group and several players saying the round was taking forever because of a group of about 60 playing a match and basically taking up the whole course while players who had paid for a round had to wait long times. Disorganized, water coolers not filled up on a very very hot day. No cart beverage service. Won't be back.

Great New Orleans golf course gem on this side of the river!

Great neighborhood golf course with plenty of parking, an excellent restaurant, and a great support staff. Course is well maintained. Never had any issues at the course, even the cart girl is friendly and respectful! I am from Chicago originally and most of my golfing buddies are still living there. I usually team up with other golfers so that I don’t have to play by myself. So far, all of the people who I have played with have been very cordial, and have given me some excellent golf tips, and recommendations on great places to eat and enjoy live music in New Orleans Louisiana, my new home. Loving it in New Orleans “baby”!

Nice course to play

Golf course is okay, however the golf carts are too noisy, They sound like lawn mowers. No light snacks at the turn. (Hot dogs, hamburgers, or tuna sandwiches are not available). Only large restaurant meals are available.

Bad timing.

I booked online through golf now.. the course and the online tee time managers need to do a better job of listing events at the course.. I had a tee time for 839. No where did it say that the course was having a tournament that day. So I HAD to be off the course for 1130. I drove 45min to play the course. The pace of play was so slow that I possibly could have finished all 18 but had to stop at 9 holes because it was so slow.. just a crappy round

Great course and value

Staff was accommodating and really friendly. Great course for the money, so much nicer than city park this is a secret gem! If you have a day play this course and skip the others. They have great food selection and a full bar as well . Clubhouse is new and very nice also has a good range to warm up on. There is a great bird island that has tons of wildlife, very cool

Marshals

Marshals need to limit fivesomes and pair up singles and twosomes more to improve pace of play.
