Lakewood Golf Club
Played On 03/24/2018Overrated; Overpriced for non-locals
I led a buddies trip to NO in late March and we played 4 local courses. This was the only one that did not meet expectations.
For $40-60 that locals pay, it would have been fine. For $110, it was an awful value.
Aside from the one island green par 3, the layout was just OK. Not bad, but also not very memorable. The impact of the unique bunkers is, in my opinion, overstated.
Clubhouse and other facilities are adequate, but significantly less impressive than the top public play courses in the area.
Conditioning was the worst we saw on our trip, mostly due to the greens, which our group referred to as "painted mud".
I would not recommend this course to anyone from out of town paying anything close to the full rate for non-locals. It's not a bad course, but it's also not a destination course.
TPC Louisiana
Played On 03/22/2018Best Public Play in the Area
I led a buddies trip to New Orleans in late March and we played 4 of the best reviewed area courses. This was our favorite.
Amenities and conditioning were both excellent, and what you'd expect from a TPC course.
The layout is good, but it is not bucket-list, stick in your mind great.
If you pay full price ($200+) you may be disappointed, because while this is a very nice golf course, it is not on the level of a Top 100 course or other destination course. We got discounted rates at the last minute for two different rounds (canceling our previously booked, much more expensive tee times in the process), and at less than $100, it is an excellent value. I based my value ranking on the rack rates.
