Overview
The PGA Tour played the New Orleans Open at Lakewood from 1963 to 1988, with names like Player, Nicklaus, Trevino, Watson, Casper, Ballesteros and Crenshaw all winning at this public track. In addition to this PGA Tour history, the course also hosted the 1966 U.S. Senior Women's Amateur. A recent redesign has modernized the course, which now includes several unique bunkers, including the flame-shaped traps at the 18th, designed to pay tribute to New Orleans firefighters.

Review
“Home to New Orleans open for many years. Katrina blew down 300 trees so it's now wide open. Good layout with several tee selection so you can play to whatever length you wish. Lots of ponds with most in play. Condition was above average. Greens firm and fast."
