Even open courses close for weather
New Orleans City Park says its outdoor City Putt course may close during heavy rain or unsafe weather, and gives a phone number for the day's status. Miniature Golf Course at Bohrer Park likewise closes in rain, snow or excessive heat. Our suggestion: call before a winter visit to an outdoor course.
