About this course
Audubon Park, a New Orleans landmark since the late 19th century, is woven into the very fabric of the city, offering a unique golfing experience amidst its urban landscape. Its current iteration, a revitalized course, provides an accessible and enjoyable game for locals and visitors alike. Originally laid out in the early 1900s and later redesigned by Denis Griffiths in 2002, Audubon Park Golf Course presents a classically walkable, parkland style layout. The course is relatively short, but it's not without its challenges. Strategic bunkering and subtle green complexes demand clever play, making it a thinking-person's course where position trumps power. Expect to navigate around the park's ancient oaks, some draped with Spanish moss, adding to the course's serene and storied ambiance. Audubon Park holds a special place in the hearts of New Orleanians, serving as a community hub where golfers of all skill levels can come together. Beyond the course itself, the park is a destination for runners, families, and anyone seeking respite from the city. The golf course has hosted numerous local tournaments and events over the years, solidifying its position as a vital part of the city's sporting landscape.

Getting there
Audubon Park Golf Course sits within the verdant embrace of New Orleans' most storied green space, accessible via Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY), roughly twenty minutes from the French Quarter and the Mississippi River's crescent bend. The drive from the airport carries you through the city's oak-canopied streets, past the mansions of the Garden District, before arriving at the park's entrance along St. Charles Avenue - a route that distills the essence of New Orleans' layered history and unhurried elegance. Once inside Audubon Park's gates, the course unfolds across terrain shaped by the river itself, where live oaks draped in Spanish moss frame fairways that have welcomed golfers since 1898, making the final approach as much a passage into the city's golfing soul as into the course itself.
