Great New Orleans golf course gem on this side of the river!

Great neighborhood golf course with plenty of parking, an excellent restaurant, and a great support staff. Course is well maintained. Never had any issues at the course, even the cart girl is friendly and respectful! I am from Chicago originally and most of my golfing buddies are still living there. I usually team up with other golfers so that I don’t have to play by myself. So far, all of the people who I have played with have been very cordial, and have given me some excellent golf tips, and recommendations on great places to eat and enjoy live music in New Orleans Louisiana, my new home. Loving it in New Orleans “baby”!

Great course and value

Staff was accommodating and really friendly. Great course for the money, so much nicer than city park this is a secret gem! If you have a day play this course and skip the others. They have great food selection and a full bar as well . Clubhouse is new and very nice also has a good range to warm up on. There is a great bird island that has tons of wildlife, very cool

Great golf bargain near the lake!

Decent course for the money. I discovered recently that the fairways were in better condition at Bartholomew than the fairways Bayou Oaks South course. From the clubhouse, the starter, the greens keeper, the cart girls, to the restaurant staff, everyone was very friendly.

Worse Course

Had a 12:40 Tee Time played behind 5 people they didn't let my group through we waited 5-7 minutes per hole then about 4:15 we made it to the 14th hole and they picked up all the flags. This was the worst experience I've ever had on a course. Will never play here again
