Playable

Bit of a sketchy area, the course stands out as a nicer part. The greens need work. Mostly straight and flat.

Love this course but

The greens could really use a rolling...

They were kind of slow and bumpy for being decently short cut. Maybe it was due to the light rain before. But other than that the fairways are in great shape and i love this track for the money

Great features

This course has a great layout without it being too difficult. It’s challenging but still fun for the amateur player.

First Time Playing

Incredibly Frustrating

We had a confirmed tee time for 7:27 am. We arrived around 7 am and went to the desk to check in. We told the lady our tee time and she said, “No, you don’t have a tee time. Did you book through Golf Now? They should have canceled it because we have an event here today.” She didn’t try to work with us or anything. Just a simple no. First time at this course and I plan to give it another try, but wasn’t a great first impression.

Incredible Value

After years of being underwhelmed by City Park North Course I finally pulled the trigger and visited Joe B.

I’m sure glad I did because I enjoyed my round thoroughly. The staff were helpful and friendly and the course had manicured greens and well maintained sand traps. This is the best value in the New Orleans area and I will be back again and again and again

Another great round of golf!

One of my favorite affordable courses in the New Orleans area. Nice greens and good overall maintenance.
