Lakewood Golf Club

About Lakewood Golf Club

You won't find this tucked-away gem mentioned in the golf magazines, but Lakewood delivers honest, unpretentious golf that's become increasingly rare in New Orleans. The routing feels organic rather than forced, working with the natural contours of the land instead of fighting them. What strikes you immediately is how walkable the layout is, a genuine pleasure in Louisiana's heat when so many courses here punish pedestrians with awkward transitions and endless cart paths. The 4.2 Google rating from locals tells the real story: this is a course that gets the fundamentals right without any flash. Conditions stay playable year-round, the pace of play moves, and you're not paying resort prices for the privilege. It's the kind of track where you can work on your game without intimidation, but don't mistake accessibility for boring. There are enough strategic elements to keep better players engaged. For New Orleans golf on a reasonable budget, Lakewood punches well above its weight class.
