Hard fairways

All of the fairways are hard and have very little grass. Greens are always good.
If they ever grow the grass in the fairways, this course would be great!

It's a Muni

Greens are medium to slow and in decent condition. Fairways are very rough. I'm sure it's due to the lack of rain this summer. Be ready to play preferred lies in the fairway or accept that you may be hitting out of a bare spot or hole. As I put in the title it a muni and is definitely worth the green fees. I will come back because it is a great place for a practice round.

Best bang for your buck!

Course was in nice shape and greens played well. In town for the weekend and was planning to play English Turn however with the resident and non resident fees being more then double $$$ decided to play the “Bart” course. It was the perfect choice!

friendly people

Everybody needs rain around there. Nice restrooms around the course. Water was available on course. Courtesy cart was present for snacks and cold drinks. Lots of water on the course, so checking the scorecard for their locations is a good idea.

What is the story on the new restrooms?
look like they have been finished for months yet not yet in service. The port o potties have been removed long ago yet new restrooms have not been placed in service. Also I believe water coolers should have been part of the plan for the new restrooms. I happen to be playing when the water jugs were removed to be refilled so no water for a number of holes, would it make sense to have a extra set of coolers to replace ones in service while others are being refilled, especially when the temperature is in triple digits.

Great Find!

Looking for a course to play on a hot day in New Orleans, and we couldn't have been any more pleased! The course needed water, but the layout was great, and we were able to complete our round in three hours. The very best part of the course was the Munch Factory restaurant on-site. Beautiful layout, delicious food, and the staff was terrific! I would highly recommend this course for an inexpensive round.
