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.

A good inexpensive course

If you're not looking to break the bank and want a decent course this is your route. Greens are slow but are in good condition. Staff wasn't incredible by any means. Nothing particularly wows you. But wasn't overbooked which is hard to find at muni courses.

Great golf bargain near the lake!

Decent course for the money. I discovered recently that the fairways were in better condition at Bartholomew than the fairways Bayou Oaks South course. From the clubhouse, the starter, the greens keeper, the cart girls, to the restaurant staff, everyone was very friendly.
