Course
s
traddling St. Charles Av-
enue in the Garden Dis-
trict, Audubon Park is
likely the nation's only course ac-
cessible by streetcar. The layout
dates to 1898, which means it's
loaded with enormous, gnarled
moss-drenched oaks. Architect
Denis Griffiths re-worked the
course in 2002, transforming it
into a 4,220-yard, par-62; while
it's of executive length, it's got
plenty of lagoons and bunkers to
spice the play. There's no golf
course in town that embodies
the spirit of the city so well. The
148-yard, par-3 13th is particu-
larly evocative, with its backdrop
of the Holy Names of Jesus
Church and buildings from Tu-
lane and Loyola universities.
