Solid golf course, play was a bit slow (needs marshaling), greens are awesome as is the staff

BEAUTIFUL municipal golf course. Greens were in great shape, fairways well kept & a nice layout. The food was delicious. A must play when you’re in the Big Easy! Nice clubhouse with wonderful employees EXCEPT for this one dark-skin black guy who is an a**hole who constantly harassed me b/c he overheard me tell someone in the clubhouse that I used to work for a certain SEC University’s Athletics Department. That day, he made it his mission to drive his maintenance cart out there and talk sh*t or do stupid stuff like pull the flags early and mentioned something about LSU or made unnecessary noises when he changed the trash bags. I really wanted to tell him to leave me the beep alone and let me play golf but I had my wife riding with me.

The greens are recovering from an infestation of poana grass due to unusual cooler weather this season; however, the course and fairways are well maintained.

I enjoy playing here. It challenges you but not that bad. I like it.

Best municipal course in the city. Beats city park by a mile.
