Bayou Oaks City Park South Course

Did a golf trip to New Orleans. Learned on the way that the south has been experiencing a drought… and it showed. To be fair I am not going to rate or comment on the course conditions. Instead, given the rest of my experience I am choosing to assume that with some rain the course conditions would be fantastic, and I do look forward to returning one day to find out.

Things I Liked
- The fairways are HUGE! This course is built on a lot of acreage, and the course is forgiving off the tee.
- The green complexes are very challenging. The greens were fast, the bunkers were strategically placed, and the green surrounds provide a great challenge. Swing away off the tee, but you better have a short game to score well here.
- The staff inside, and the starter outside, were very friendly and helpful.

Things I Did Not Like
- Non-resident rates. Sorry, incredibly jacked up non-resident rates. I eventually retreated and purchased an online deal. Would rather have my money go directly to the course, but cannot agree with that level of mark-up.

Thing Important to Me
- This course is built on a lot of acreage, and after walking the course I felt that in my legs. It seemed like there was a walk equivalent to a long par 3 between each hole. That being said, I survived and would walk again.
- The branded ball marker is really cool!
- There were water coolers out on the course to keep everyone hydrated. Also, we saw the cart girl quite a bit too (5-6 times).

The course is in pristine condition. Fairways are lush and well manicured. The greens are exceptional, running fast and true. I was truly impressed with how well yhe course played. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

It was a great day of golf. People were very nice. I had my daughter with me and it was enjoyable. Many options for different levels of play.

Non-resident green fees are pretty high but golf now had a Hot Deal for same day play for $70 so I gave it a go. Greens were beautiful and the fairways were very nice although a little tight in some spots, but very playable. Weather was perfect and I got out as a single and was paired up with another single. We played unrushed and only waited on a handful of shots. 4 hour round. Will try to get back out there again before I leave if I don't have to pay the non-resident rate.

Great fun swinging a club on Bermuda fairways and driving balls at sea level.

Greens were nice and fast right after it stormed the day before. Some greens have some bad spots. But I would compare the course to a English Turn and Lakewood. Wouldn't say it's $130 course.

I used to play here often, maybe 3 times a month. But now, no more. The $25 rounds are gone. $70-$80 is too much for me. Better options exists. It's a shame because the was usually in good shape. It's a very playable course where I have had my best rounds. However, ...

They can not let this course go downhill like the North. It was in TERRIBLE condition for the $70+ we paid AT TWILIGHT. I feel bad for the out of towners who come in and expected this to be nice. I can even imagine what the dog track North course looks like. Seriously, you can not charge this much and have the greens be half fungus, half mud. Looked like the course hadn’t been watered in weeks, and that’s with the rain we had. They really need to get it together, it’s not helpful that the staff seems to turn over a lot and they generally aren’t very friendly.

One of our carts were not calibrated right and it got stuck on the car path, it said out of bound. We called and told them. Over the phone one of staffs were very rude and yelled at me. He hanged up the phone. I have excellent experience until this event. My god , the man was very angry man.

Generally, the rule of golf is let faster players play thru. This was not the case. The twosome in front of me were slow and hitting 2 balls off the tee box. The marshal passed by several times and saw me wailing each time and did not address the issue.

I loved the course. Loved all the nature. It was pretty wet, but that is not the courses fault. Liked the layout. I certainly would come again.
