History & Heritage
Audubon Park Golf Course sits on 81 acres within iconic Audubon Park in Uptown New Orleans, with roots dating to the 1890s. The layout winds through century-old live oaks, four lagoons, and contoured fairways. Managed by the Audubon Nature Institute.
A short but deceptively tricky par-62 with 12 par 3s — a wedge-and-iron test demanding precision over power. One of the oldest continuously operating public courses in the South. The live oaks predate the course itself by generations.
