City Putt includes a pair of 18-hole miniature courses.

The course designers drew on local scenes and iconic Louisiana elements — swamps, alligators and music — in planning City Putt. One course highlights Louisiana cities; the other celebrates notable New Orleans street names. Both courses are wheelchair accessible and meet ADA standards.

The complex includes a concession area, restrooms and a birthday party room. Parking is available adjacent to the Great Lawn in City Park.

Opening day festivities include a ceremonial ribbon cutting at 10:30 a.m. The course will open at 11 a.m. The first 150 patrons through City Putt’s gates on opening day will have the chance to win a special prize if they draw a golden golf ball out of the City Putt golf ball bucket. Complimentary popcorn and Arnold Palmers (ice tea mixed with lemonade) will be served, while supplies last, to patrons waiting in line.

City Putt’s regular hours of operation will be Tuesday – Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday – Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m.
