More than nine years after it was closed to the public, City Park’s championship golf course is on the cusp of rebirth. Familiar elements from the old Bayou Oaks East layout, including the existing oak tree canopy, will be retained, and a new self-sustaining irrigation system will bring dramatic cosmetic changes to the property while easing the burden on city drainage.
A $15 million reworking of the two courses on the south side of Filmore Avenue into one 18-hole course was put out for bid last month. Contractors are being vetted for qualifications ahead of the due date for bids on Sept. 29.
