About
Lakewood Golf Club is one of the South's premier golf destinations. Opened in 1961, the course has hosted the New Orleans Open 26 times over the years. Beautiful cypress and oak trees frame the golf course, providing a beautiful backdrop throughout the round. When Ron Garl renovated the course in 2009 he managed to obtain its original character while modernizing the layout with new fairways, tee boxes, and greens. Strategically placed bunkers and fairway contouring were also added. Lakewood Golf Club is owned by the New Orleans Firefighters Pension Fund and as a tribute to New Orleans Firefighters, the final hole was redesigned and renamed "Fire in the Hole." Called so because the traps are arranged in a set of flames against a backdrop of red sand. You won't find anything like the bunkering on this par 4.

BIG JOHN REVIEW
Unfortunately, the greens had just been sanded, making the putting on the course very frustrating. I look forward to coming back when the course firms up. There should be a notification that such measures have been implemented.
Another amazing round
This course is always top notch every time I play it. Top tier on the Westbsnk for sure.
great/fast round
Played on a Tuesday afternoon, just me and my wife. We were the only people out there and played in under 2.5 hours. Course was in great shape except for the greens although really can't count that against them since they had just aerated. Will definitely play here again soon
Great Shape
1st time playing there. Course was in great shape. Good Fairways. Nice fast greens in perfect shape. Friendly staff.
Flat, Fun Course - Quick Greens
This was my first time playing Lakewood New Orleans. When I drove up, I thought the place was going to be terrible as everything looked pretty shaggy and rough while driving to the course. However, I was VERY PLEASANTLY surprised.
The course was fun and fair. It was challenging knowing where the holes go as this was my first time playing the course. Many of the tee shots are curved or blind as to the where the green was located. It is a great to play with someone who has played before to show you where the hole is located and to where to hit your tee shots.
The club house is not too much to write home about, but I don't play for golf for an extravagant club house. I play golf for a nice, fun, challenging course which Lakewood is in abundance.
I will definitely be back to play again. The greens were quick and ran true. There is no elevation changes at all on the course so the ball rolls a long way both on the fairways as well as the greens.
OK value.
There was a tournament ahead of us (2some) that postpaid our tee time. This was OK and explained by the staff.
The pro shop isn't much. Food was adequate.
The course was coming back for the spring. Greens were consistent and fairways were decent.
The layout required using the map to navigate but useful.
Great greens and beautiful tree carvings of wildlife!
Beautiful lay out with several challenging holes! Greens were perfect and fast!
Great day
It had been about 2 months since I have played and it was great. The weather was beautiful but Wendy. The course was in great shape and the greens were fast. My buddy and I had a great time and thought the price for the round was fair. Over all, I would recommend this course to anyone.
Finally dryu
Course finally dry
Greens great shape.fajrways were soft on some holes but great enjoying to be playing again. Appreciate your efforts to maintain course.
Wet baby, wet
I like playing this course, but today was very wet from so much rain 2 days ago Was cart path only. Just one of those days where its carry only on ball flight with no rollout. Soggy & mushy just to get to your ball. Just kind of took the competitive edge off of your game.
Very Nice
Very soggy fairways very well maintained just too much rain of late
Greens were challenging and fast
Great course
Been checking out a lot of courses in the area and this is definitely one of my favorites.
Been in rainy season and the course was pretty muddy but not as bad as any other course in the area.
I am absolutely going back to this course and wouldn’t mind going there frequently.
It’s also a former PGA course.
Had a great time
Staff and services were terrific. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Fairways and greens were all in great shape. Drinking water at every hole was an excellent accommodation considering the heat here in New Orleans. Greens were very consistemt regarding speed. I will play this course more often. Keep up the good work; all the little extra effort is appreciated. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite courses to play. Challenging layout, great condition and greens roll true. Only draw back is to be prepared for a 4.5 - 5 hour round, always seems to be jam packed with people.
