Bayou Oaks City Park North Course
About
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.

Golf Advisor: Top 25 Most Improved U.S. Golf Courses (2021 #23)
Reviews
Only if you are desperate or a beginner..
It’s a shame they don’t keep this course up, because it’s actually a good fun layout. It’s a goat ranch and The greens are horrible.
If you are a beginner, go for it before playing a real course. Otherwise, save your money and play somewhere else.
Value golf
Bayou oaks does a good job maintaining this entry level course.
Course is in terrible shape the greens are in bad shape should be in line with Joe Bartholomew but not all city park is worried about is high-dollar South course
OK ..... but
An ok course sadly neglected since the high dollar beast across the street was built. Needs better drainage and some manicuring. Glad its there, but should be better cared for.
Easy winter course
Everything is dead so you can actually play rhe course. Greens don’t look like a jungle.
Sorry, everything is dormant
Thank you for playing the north course. Please understand that dormant grass is quite different from dead grass!
Overbooked
When I got to the 1st tee there were 5 or 6 groups of 4 to 5 people each waiting. I went and played the back 9 first since that was wide open and when I got back to the 1st tee it was clear. But by the time I finished the first hole there were a group in 2 tee, 2 green, 3 tee, 3 fairway, and 3 green so I turned around and left. Poor job booking and scheduling
Hi, please understand that we do offer tee times to the north course but more than 90% of our rounds are walkups which can create a delay at the first tee since we honor tee times first.
Neglected greens need work
First time at City Park North since July. Greens are in terrible condition. Bunkers have been filled with fresh sand and they are in much better conditions than the greens.
Not surprising since the South course gets all of the attention.
Good fun
Great course for the money, greens r good layout is fun. Had great time
Thank you for playing the North course!
This course has taken very obvious strides in improving the North Course. While this used to be a strictly cheap option, it has become more of a value option. It is used to be in laughably bad condition and ignored, and now it is impossible to pass up with regards to the price.
Thank you for playing the north course!
Goat ranch...
It’s a shame they don’t maintain this course. It could be very nice !
As it is, the greens and fairways are horrible.
Fun Cheap course
The greens are never really in good condition. Nice open fairways. Overall good time. If you want a nicer course just play the south course.
Thank you for playing the north course
