Golf has been played at City Park since 1902 when the nine-hole New Orleans Golf Club opened. At the time it was one of only 80 golf courses in the country. There were four 18-hole courses at the complex before it was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The North Course was rebuilt in 2009 and now there is also a 36-hole mini-golf complex. The course is just over 5,400 yards from the back tees and features water on eight holes. Proper club selection is the key to scoring well on this layout. The golf course is popular among both locals and visitors because it's not only player friendly enough to accommodate all skill levels but its location is also easily accessible from anywhere in New Orleans. The affordable rates make it even more appealing and there's also a 74-stall driving range.

Great for the budget golfer.

I got a deal off GolfNow for a low price. The course shape is equivalent to the low price. It's a lot of weekend warriors or people who don't play often so the pace can be really slow. Staff is great and good was pretty good.

Good value track

Great value for a public course. Don’t expect too many challenging holes or ones that test your length off the tee. Not many hazards so it’s great for the beginner or the casual golfer. They have water coolers in the course that are always filled and a food and beverage cart that drives on the course.

The greens could be kept up better, but I’d say they are average for a heavily used public course.

Grass maintenance

I truly love this course but I wish the they would take more care of the grass. It was a struggle finding my ball in the rough because it was too high. The green is in terrible condition. But the views you get is still worth playing. Would definitely come back. Just wish they would maintain it more.

North Course

The course is in pretty good shape. Greens are nice. There was a Large amount of standing water on the fairway and in the traps. The problem I had was the price given on tee off was for walking! I didn't even notice it. I have Never seen a price that didn't include a cart..Not as good of a deal when this is figured in.

Solid front 9 accompanied by a top quality staff.

The course was great. The staff even better. Very welcoming to a group for a bachelor party. They were patient, courteous, friendly and professional. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting a nice easy going course, friendly staff, and looking for a good time.

Great value

Awesome to just get out on the course for cheap. However, I think this course is more difficult than it gets credit for. Some incredibly tight driving holes due to the oak trees. If you miss a fairway you are more than likely punching out. I am a 9 and this course has my number.
