It goes without saying, that New Orleans is one of the most unique cities in the United States. With one-of-a-kind restaurant choices, memorable nightlife, the famous Bourbon Street and awarding winning spas and accommodations, there is plenty to do and see…if only travelers could tear themselves away from the city’s beautiful fairways.  Golf has a long history in New Orleans, one of the oldest Tour stops, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans started in 1939 and currently is played at the fantastic TPC Louisiana. If a pro-level course sounds intimidating, the scenic 100+ year old course, Audubon Park, is the only golf course in the US that can be reached by street car, and is one of the most beautifully intimate courses in the city. Both of these courses are signature stops on Louisiana's Audubon Golf Trail, so quality is guaranteed. Warm year round temperatures and a major cruise line seaport make New Orleans a perfect vacation from the cold and the mundane. Try the gumbo or the other signature culinary dishes originating from the city, but a steady diet of birdies, eagles, and other fowl life are the best way to experience New Orleans.
