Course Report
The club has a historic reputation as one of the most exclusive private golf courses in Louisiana, with a classic atmosphere and regular enhancements to maintain its championship-level playability.
About
Founded in 1914 and designed by George Turpie with updates from Bobby Weed and others, New Orleans Country Club is a private, historic layout in uptown New Orleans. Its parkland design features tree-lined fairways, lush Bermuda grass, and strategic bunkering. The club is renowned for its tradition, conditioning, and southern charm, serving discerning members for over a century.
Caddie Tip
Course management is vital—position tee shots to avoid mature trees lining the fairways, and keep approach shots below the hole to deal with fast, subtly contoured Bermuda greens. Local knowledge is especially helpful in reading the putting surfaces, which can be deceptively tricky for new visitors.
The Main Challenge
The primary challenge is the combination of tree-lined fairways and fast Bermuda greens. Approach shots that miss their mark often lead to tough recoveries, and subtle green contours make putting especially demanding for all skill levels.
The Good
Members praise the exceptional course conditioning and the club’s service-oriented, traditional atmosphere. The mature trees, historic clubhouse, and challenging greens create a unique, memorable experience that feels both prestigious and warmly welcoming in the heart of New Orleans.
The Not So Good
Some reviews and members occasionally note that the course, while beautifully maintained, does not feature much elevation change or dramatic scenery, which can make it feel less visually dynamic compared to top modern layouts.
