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.

Breaking Ground on Miniature Golf in City Park

by

Miniature Golf to Break Ground

Ground will be broken on the new Miniature Golf Complex on Wednesday, August 15th at 10:30 am. The ceremony will take place across from Storyland and adjacent to the Goldring / Woldenberg Great Lawn.

The complex will feature a clubhouse with two party rooms and two 18-hole miniature golf courses. One of the courses will be New Orleans themed and the other Louisiana themed. Both will feature abundant landscaping along with flowing water.

The courses are scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2013.
Via the generosity of a local foundation, both courses will be 100 percent ADA accessible.

Generous individuals, companies and nonprofits have sponsored 33 of the 36 holes on the golf courses. One of the two 18-hole courses has also been sponsored. To learn more about sponsorship opportunities, please contact John Hopper at jhopper@nocp.org or call him at (504) 259-1509.
