It doesn't take long to get…read morethrough the short (mostly Par 3) course, but it can get a bit jammed up at time since it is such a short course. I typically play twilight hours when I get off work so it's pretty open whenever I play. The staff has always been very welcoming and quick to assist in anyway that they can. The clubhouse offers plenty of refreshments and snacks, and the snack cart is never too far away when you're out on the course. The only thing to be cautious of is that if you're a not so "consistent" golfer as I am you'll play with the concern in the back of your head that you don't want to hit someone on the track that butts up against a third of the course.

Sort of Off-the-beaten path; you wouldn't know it was there if you didn't have directions. Not very crowded this particular day, so my husband was processed quickly. There was a $15 charge for me to ride and not play, which isn't unusual. The golf shop itself is very small without a lot of offerings. Breakfast was ready-made mini muffaletta sandwiches grabbed for $3, and a beer was available too. The mini muffalettas were surprisingly very tasty. Lunch was a Bridge 28 burger, medium, with fries, and a pound of A&W Catering chicken salad. The burger was huge and very good ($12), and the one pound of chicken salad ($15) was phenomenal! Morning and afternoon bartenders were both friendly, and A&W employee was very pleasant. Joe was the golf course marshal we encountered on the course. He was knowledgeable of the course and of the game, and he was personable enough to talk to "the wife" who doesn't play golf and zones out about 2 min into a golf conversation. The course came with a hole guide - which we haven't found at the other 2 courses he's played locally. Loved that there was a port-a-potty at hole 15. LOTS of water traps on this course, so beware. The ride was pleasant and the scenery quieting. They host what appears to be quite a few meals to eat on location or to go. There are also plans for expansion of the F&B and venue offerings at the course, which I'm looking forward to enjoying. We plan on coming back for more!

Wedding at Marché - Outstanding Experience As the mother of…read morethe bride and overall wedding planner, I highly recommend this venue. My daughter and her fiancé did a detailed search for just the right wedding venue to meet their needs. We booked Marché about six months in advance after visiting multiple venues, and it quickly stood out. The planning process can be tedious and tricky, but their Special Events Operations Manager, Wallace, was truly exceptional. He is the primary reason we chose Marché and, ultimately, the reason our wedding day was such a success. Why we chose Marché: * Excellent French Quarter location * Beautiful views from multiple balconies * Great layout for ceremony, dining, and dancing * Incredible, authentic New Orleans food * Excellent value for the price * Wallace's professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond What impressed us most after the wedding: * The tasting was extremely helpful in finalizing food and drink selections * We were able to customize ceremony and dining layouts to fit our vision * Time allotted for both ceremony and reception was more than adequate * Food was outstanding and widely praised by guests * Bartenders made great drinks and happily accommodated requests * Wine, liquor, and beer selections were very good * The "flip" from ceremony to dance space was executed flawlessly--fast, organized, and exactly as planned Guest feedback: * The staff welcomed our guests with enthusiasm and excitement. They made everyone feel welcome. * We received countless compliments, with many saying it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended * Guests loved the food, drinks, and smooth flow from dining to dancing Helpful recommendations: * Take full advantage of the balconies--we threw beads to guests waiting in Dutch Alley before the second line, which was a highlight * Have champagne passed as guests arrive to set a celebratory tone * Do not overdecorate the ceremony room--the chandeliers, floors, windows, and lighting are already stunning * Encourage guests to use the balconies at night; the views are amazing (our cigar bar was a big hit) * Highly recommend a second line--it creates a fantastic guest experience and allows time for reception setup * A separate "day-of" coordinator is unnecessary if you are organized--Wallace and his team handle everything seamlessly One small negative (for transparency): Our assigned salesperson was slow to respond to emails, and her in-person communication style was abrupt. However, this did not impact the success of our wedding and should not discourage anyone from choosing Marché. Overall, Creole Cuisine Company and its employees are consistently professional and hospitable at all levels of leadership and staff. Planning tip: Carefully review the food and beverage brochure and ask detailed pricing questions. We created a spreadsheet to track costs and maximize value. Be sure to ask about reduced pricing for minors and vendors. Final note: Wallace is a true gem--kind, positive, respectful, and incredibly attentive. Because of his leadership, the entire team operates at the highest level. Not a single guest needed anything all night, and the bride and groom were truly taken care of. Marché delivered an unforgettable wedding experience, and we recommend it without hesitation.

I called to try and book a golf outing and was told by the proshop to speak with Mike P, the Head Pro. I did call and get his voice mail and left a message on 4-8. I didn't hear back by 4-13, so I called back and left a message. I didn't hear back, so I called on 4-14 and spoke with Mike P., who said he was busy and would call me back. I didn't hear back so I called on 4-15 and was told by the proshop they were real busy and to call back. I asked the nameof the GM. They said there wasn't a GM only an AGM? They transferred me to a voice mail. I called back and tried the operator and got voice mail. I called back a couples hours later and tried the operator. A woman named Ming answered. I asked if the AGM was there she said no. She asked if she could help. I asked her her title. She said she was the owner. I explained to her what I was going through with the pro shop. Her comments were "they are very busy". At that point I understood why the service is so bad. It's coming from the top. I wouldn'd book a linch, golf outing or anything at English Turn. The customer service is terrible based on what I experienced!

Bryant Park NOLA is a new bar with a long tradition they are carrying from their Dino's heritage…read more Dino's Bar & Grill was a long time favorite of mine and it was a very popular bar in this area for many years and this is their new location after they moved just across the street from their old location. The old Dino's was long noted for being a really great spot to grab a good meal and have some good times in New Orleans. So as Bryant Park NOLA Eatery & Drinkery is now the new home of the old Dino's Bar & Grill they connect with many of my good memories of some good times and good food I carry into their space along with some high expectations. I stopped in here on my first visit to sample their cheeseburger and that was a decent experience. I invited a few friends to join me for their steak night and that got a bit more problematic with the pricing as somehow they don't have beer prices on the menus here and I didn't see anything posted about a happy hour. So somehow the price of beer jumps from $4 to $6 once happy hour ends which would have been fine if they would have posted something up about that or had it on the menu. I just find charging $6 for a Yuengling to be excessive personally but they can charge what they want but they need to post their prices. My dining companions were also a bit surprised at their bills as well so that left a bit of a bad taste in our mouths. I think this fancy new joint has a lot of possibilities so I just hope they get better at being better at posting prices. My video review of Bryant Park NOLA is here: https://youtu.be/zpNd2lNkBQ8

But it was one of the many structures damaged in the aftermath of Katrina. It was actually knocked off it's base and landed at an angle. There was a huge fund raising effort to rebuild the lighthouse and the create the education center. When I passed by today, the lighthouse was gated off and closed but it's still pretty to look at from the road...or from the Point. Now I'll just have to make it back to see the inside exhibit.
