Joseph M. Bartholomew Golf Course

Not many frills to this course but in good shape and the pace of play is generally fast, at least for early starts. The greens aren't very fast, but putt true. The greenskeeper knows what he is doing.

Most locals know this course by the name Pontchartrain golf course. This was my first time playing it since before Hurricane Katrina, and believe me it was nothing to talk about back then. Today, this is an entirely new course. The course is in excellent condition and the new clubhouse is outstanding, as well as the staff. And you can't beat the price. My guest and I played for $23 each, including the cart - which I booked here through Golf Advisor. This is the kind of quality public course New Orleans needed. I would have to rate the new South Course at City Park-Bayou Oaks a tad higher, but it's not $80 per golfer better. Considering the cost, I'll play this course (Bartholomew/Pontchartrain) over the new City Park South any day of the week.

The city has Bartholomew looking great these days. Would recommend it except for the half dozen kids on the 4th hole who took our ball off the fairway and threw it in the pond. They then proceeded to throw rocks at the single who was following us. New meaning to golfers assume all risks, I guess.

Lovely , tidy course . One of the few courses out there that you could walk. Really neat course , well groomed and cared for , Staff and course Marshals super friendly. It's a course that gives you a great day .

Started out fine on very busy day. Made the mistake of stopping to get something to eat at the turn. Twosome jumped ahead of us and later somewhere found a third. They were taking multiple shots, and looking for balls in the water (even on approach to 18th green). No one around to move pace along. 5 1/2 almost 6 hour round.

Great track lots of water great layout greens are excellent. A pair of Eagles nesting in a tree on 11th hole. Brand new beautiful club house with great food

First time playing this course and had a great time. Very challenging, tons of water. if you play do yourself a solid and stay after your round and eat. Food was amazing! Only minus was a few greens had burn pataches on them but most courses in our area do. Staff was very friendly very helpful. I was totally blown away!

I really like this course. Very well kept but usually the pace of play is slower than most other courses.

The staff was working hard to get it in great shape.

Great value for the price. Nice layout with mixture of moderate to difficult holes. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Superb food at Lenora's in the clubhouse.

For nearing the end of winter, the course was is very good shape. Still needs the grass to get thicker, but that will come with time. Glad to see that they solved the poyanne problem they had on the greens. Personnel is always been real friendly and welcoming.
