Best value in NOLA

For the price, you won't beat this course. At about half the cost of other comparable courses (city park - south, lakewood, etc.) it is every bit as nice in all ways.

Pace of Play

Overbooked the course. Took 2 hours to play 9 holes (including skipping 2 holes to play through, so really 7 holes). The Marshall was great and let us play the front 9 a second time to get away from the crowd. Ended up having a group park on the street and yellow at us from behind. Overall bad experience due to the other golfers on the course.

GHD review

Absolute gem of a course! Did not have high expectations given the price for a Sunday round but I was overwhelmed by the outstanding, fair but challenging layout. I preferred this course over much higher cost New Orleans courses. Again, this course is an absolute gem.
