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.

bad faiways

First and foremost we should have been informed that the regular greens were not playable . The fairways are in pitiful condition. No grass thru out course. Needs complete overhaul. Would love to promote city park golf but definite attention is needed.

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.

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.

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.
