Some good news for New Orleans golfers: Joe Bartholomew Golf Course is almost ready to be played.
According to this story from the New Orleans Times-Picayune, it may be a matter of only a few weeks before golfers can play the renovated course. GCM has featured this course twice in its pages as a sign of the state of golf in New Orleans. The first time, months after Hurricane Katrina, the course was more of a graveyard for debris than it was a golf course. The next time we visited, prior to the 2009 Golf Industry Show in New Orleans, the course was in something of a state of flux -- some work was being done, some range balls were being hit in one specific area, but it was hard to see where the overall direction of the course was going.
Well, it seems in the time since then, things have only looked up. We'll check in with the course as it gets closer to the grand opening, and report on it more in an upcoming issue of GCM.
