Rating 67.3

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.

Good deal

Walked with a buddy after work. Got a good sweat, greens were very spotty but that's what you get when you pay 13 bones. Really short course. only one par 5.

Greens Need Help

This course is a great value . The course isn’t a top course but the greens are holding it back from being a very good course . I get it’s still early in the year , but anyone who knows this course knows that this is as good as the greens are at their best. I will definitely continue to play here on a weekly basis . Just hoping for some slight improvement in the green area.

Sad, Sad Condition

I have played this course many times over many years, but the lack of maintenance and just general care for the simplest aspects of the golf experience is appalling. Tee boxes are mud pits, sand traps have almost no sand and plastic tarps showing beneath. Greens have dead spots everywhere. With the South course right next door, you would think the groundskeepers would cross the street once in a while to do something on the north course. The starter did not even attempt to make foursomes, so the pace of play was terrible as well.

Luckily we played very little to play, so I guess we got out money's worth. Very sad...

Bayou Oaks - North Course

If you are a beginner or new to the sport of golf, this is a great course. Please note that on a nice day you could see an influx of players. Riders and walkers.

Overall the greens and course is in poor to average condition. I would use the course as an entry point to the game or practice facility. The South course is a much nicer course.

Fun course

You can easily have your best game on this course, fairways were better than advertised and the pace of play was fast. Greens still need a little bit fixing but other than that I had a great time and easily had my best game I ever had

If you MUST play this place is ok

Tee times are too tight. Too many foursomes that can't play taking 3 hours to get through 9 holes. No beverage carts on the course.

Greens and tee boxes are in terrible shape.
