[quote]I think City Park could be much better if no carts were allowed. Carry/push cart only. [/quote]
On a related note, the new cartpaths are nice, except for the giant cement area that they installed short and right of #4 green. It's basically a huge golf ball launching pad that sends decent, b...

If you're playing in Louisiana, I would avoid anything mesh and go for leather or faux leather. You're inevitable going to find yourself in a muddy spot and the mesh and subsequently your socks will soak it up like a sponge. Footjoy ProSL or FJ Fuel are my fav...

AKA most everything else out there and especially Nike's. Feels like I'm wearing 2000's era And1s on the golf course, it's absurd.

I know they've battled with the stumps in the past, but there's no way that the stumps are what's causing the current green to look like it does now? Feels like a poor install or mismanagement or something....

These are great for the price if you prefer slightly shorter and hate the 10" inseam knee-length golf shorts like myself. Not a big Puma guy, but I have no complaints here....

Despite the derailment, thank you, that is actually an informative post. To be fair, $6 in 2007 with inflation is about what they're charging now.

I left a survey submission for BREC golf because it's more frustrating the more I think about it. We'll see if they respond.

Audubon has found a way to make a short course stay in consistently decent shape and feel like some effort has been put into it, and I think even less of NOLA's government entities.
Why can't we?...
#7 green at City Park in BR
Posted by 904 on 4/1/24 at 10:16 am
Didn't they just completely redo this green recently? It's currently a wavy mess where it looks like any drainage ruts they built into it have sunk turning it into a funhouse mirror of a putting surface, with still very little grass on it. Arguably worse than it was before.
This little course h...
