Nice course hidden in the city
Fairways were manicured and greens were in nice shape. Some spots on a couple greens were it was repaired and not yet taken but overall a really nice gem in the city. Would play here again.
Why can't all the courses in our area be this nice.
This course was a pleasure to play today. The greens were great, and lightning fast. Other courses in this area struggle keeping the grass cut. The ball was rolling in the fairways like we are use to this time of year.
Perfect
The course is in perfect condition ! The fairways are very nice and the greens championship quality! I love this course. If your in New Orleans this is a must play course.
Perfectly manicured golf course!
This is a hidden gem in New Orleans !
If you want to play a challenging yet playable golf Course. Love it love it love it.
Hot Time at Joe B.
Hadn't played in two weeks and was "jones-in" to go out. With bad weather pending, I wasn't sure I would be able to play. Thankfully, the rain held off and it was a hot but breezy afternoon at Joe. B. in Ponchartrain Park. The fairways are in excellent condition right now. The greens are another story. Most have either fungal damage or heat damage, not sure which one. However with a little creativity, say, placing your ball in an undamaged line of sight, this challenge can be overcome. In fact, I only did it once yesterday, so maybe it won't have to be done at all.
Beautifully warm and breezy weather with few golfers, probably scared-off by fear of bad weather. The course is mostly flat with a challenging layout. Good course for the average or above-average golfer.
Best value in NO
I have played most public and some private courses in NO and continue to come back to "Joe Bart." Lots of water and big oak trees make the fairways challenging. The greens need work but are also topographically challenging. It is generally easy to get a tee time and it rarely takes more than 4 hours to play.
It used to have a pretty good breakfast/lunch restaurant. That has been closed for a while. Lunch at the Ponchatrain Landing, overlooking the Industrial Canal, is a short drive away, with a very good lunch menu.
NOLA Gem
I play this course every time I come to New Orleans. The course is in very good condition,, the people friendly, the pace of play is good and overall it’s a great value.
Good for the price
A few challenges out there and occasionally the pace can get slow. Never saw a Ranger except on the first tee. But it is a good value for the money.
