Well it might even get worse if Historic City Park Golf Course is turned into a pitch 'n putt or Par 3. There's a 27 Hole Golf Crisis this April. See the link.
27 HOLE BATON ROUGE GOLF CRISIS THIS APRIL
Here's what's going on with the "repurpose" of Historic City Park Golf Course. The 27 Hole BATON ROUGE GOLF CRISIS in APRIL 2026
Last Night La Rep Dixon McMakin addressed the City Park Patrol HOA along with BREC Commissioner Mike Polito.
According to Dixon Sasaki (the same group BREC hired to do the master plan for City Park suggesting a pitch n putt or par 3 instead of real golf on the existing footprint of HCPGC) sold everyone a bill of goods on the University Lakes Project and that's crap. Here's some excerpts of Dixon's address:
La Rep Dixon McMakin 100% to keep City Park Golf Course Intact
La. Rep. Dixon McMakin told the HOA Sasaki "sold us a bill of goods and that's crap" talking about the Lakes Project and he's 100% in favor of keeping Historic City Park Golf Course INTACT!

Go to Friends of City Park Baton Rouge who are actively campaigning for upgrades to all BREC courses and Saving Historic City Park Gokf Course from becoming Candyland and you can email, commissioners@brec.org
There's a public meeting tomorrow at 2pm at BREC's offices located at 6201 Florida Boulevard. THE PUBLIC CAN ATTEND BUT NOT SAY ANYTHING! SO MUCH FOR TRANSPARENCY AND SEEKING PUBLIC OPINION by BREC and SASAKI and of course, the property developers.
In the original $80 million spent on the lakes project, the original plan called for the construction of running walking paths around the lake; however, now that Sasaki BRAF and LSU squandered the $80 million, the assault on Historic City Park Golf Course has begun opining they need that land for the walkways and running paths that were negligently never built.
Here's the part the proponents of the "Central Park" boondoggle aren't saying.
Replacing the golf course with their Candyland "vision" is estimated to cost between 13.3 to 30.5 MILLION in up front construction costs with an annual deficit requiring 1.2 to 2.1 MILLION TAX PAYER MONEY for the annual upkeep of this boondoggle a/k/a property developers home run!
THE PRICE TO BUILD CANDYLAND
Here's some other facts about the false narrative that diverse people and young people are not playing golf these days.

The statement that Historic City Park Golf Course in "underperforming" is a blatant falsehood" HERE ARE THE FACTS:
THE FACTS ABOUT HISTORIC CITY PARK GOLF COURSE - NOT EVEN CLOSE TO UNDERPERFORMING
I wonder if the demise the course has been manufactured by refusing to provide adequate funds to maintain the course as part of the plan to get rid of the course and build another Coliseum.
