City Park Golf Courses (New Orleans)

City Park Golf Courses is a municipal golf complex located within City Park in New Orleans, Louisiana. It consists of multiple courses, historically including both 18-hole and shorter layouts. After significant renovations completed in 2020, the complex primarily features the Championship Course, a rebuilt 18-hole course designed by Rees Jones, and a new short course known as the "Getaway."

The original courses at City Park Golf Courses were established in the early 20th century, providing affordable and accessible golf to the public. Over the years, they served as a popular recreation destination for local residents and tourists alike. Prior to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the complex included four 18-hole courses: East, West, North, and South. Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage, leading to a significant redesign and reconstruction effort.

The redesigned Championship Course incorporates modern design principles while respecting the natural environment of City Park. The Getaway short course offers a quicker and more accessible golfing experience, appealing to beginners and experienced players seeking a shorter round. City Park Golf Courses also offers practice facilities, including a driving range and putting greens, as well as a clubhouse with pro shop and dining options. The courses are managed by a professional staff and host various tournaments and events throughout the year. They serve as a significant recreational asset for the city of New Orleans, promoting golf and outdoor activity for people of all ages and skill levels.
