Looking to try a course in the Nola/surrounding Nola area. 504 or 985 area code is fine. Any recommendations for a nice course with reasonable prices? (50$ or less)

Oak knoll in Hammond is probably your best bet in 985 If you have to stay under $50. there are also two courses in Laplace same price range (riverlands and Belle Terre) both right by each other. But they got destroyed in the Hurricane last year and I don't know how they recovered.

Are you looking during the week or weekend?


A weekend round for under 50 in Nola leaves you pretty limited. Audubon is by far your best option for under 50 (sometimes hot deals are available) but it’s an executive course. The nice courses here are all over 50 on the weekends and stay crowded.

City park south will be the best mix of conditioning and a decent layout but there will only be a few tee times in the late afternoon under 50 on a weekend.

Bartholomew or City Park North for that price.

Cypress Lakes in Ormond. It may be $55 for weekend play but pretty sure its under $50 for weekday.

City Park North


I love city park and play the south course all the time.

I wouldn’t call the north course nice


North is good if you want a cheap round to just blast balls and have 0 expectations of course quality.

Oak Knoll is in decent shape. Greens still need work but at least the fairways have grass.

Regarding LaPlace - Belle Terre remains closed. They were redoing the greens before Ida, and the storm essentially shut the place down. Very sad. Riverlands is open and in decent shape - lost lots of trees which simply open the course up even more. Greens are still good for this area.

Does anyone know what's the status at Grand Ridge? I was about to book a round for Mardi Gras day when Golf Now sent me a note about "all holes playing as par 3's". I thought that the course was re-opened but now I'm not so sure.

Played Grand Ridge a few months ago and entire course was open and greens in best shape since the 80's. Not sure what the all holes playing as par 3's is about but this Saturday is the Superintendent's Revenge tourney so it must be fully open.

Oak knoll? Lol
That’s laughable. Don’t waste your time there. Greens are a joke. And they charge 60$ to play weekends there

Joe Bartholomew at that price point. You can ride 18 for under $50. It’s a great walking course though.

But get out there early on the weekends. Pace of play blows and the regulars don’t think twice about going out in groups of 5 or 6 on a Saturday.

Op, don’t go to Cypress Lakes right now! Out here today and the greens are in pretty rough shape. It’s a shame, the layout isn’t bad with lots of water but it will need time to get the greens good.

CAM2 is not expensive and hilly. It's near Hammond.

Grand Ridge is cheap. Not in the best shape, but it's fun and scenic.

Stonebridge is nice, plus you get to see jet fighters fly overhead.
