Maintenance & Management of
Joseph M. Bartholomew Sr.
Municipal Golf Course

2011 PGA TOUR ROOKIE JOSEPH BRAMLETT
AT TFTGNO YOUTH CLINIC - 2011 ZURICH CLASSIC
2. The Joe M. Bartholomew Municipal Golf Course at Pontchar-
train Park is named after a visionary and little-known golf
architectural genius named Joseph M. Bartholomew. An Af-
rican-American born in the 1880’s, he learned the game of
golf at the turn of the century as a caddie at Audubon Golf
Course. Copying the swings of the golfers for whom he cad-
died, Bartholomew quickly became skilled enough to play the
game and instruct others. He became such a good player—he
once shot a 62 at Audubon, he was allowed to play by club
members at the segregated club with the likes of Walter Hagan and Gene Sarazen. Bar-
tholomew also demonstrated a talent for course maintenance, and was later made keeper
of the greens at Audubon.
He took his landscaping talents over to Metairie Golf Club. A group of wealthy private club
members sent Bartholomew to New York to study golf course architecture under the tu-
telage of Seth Raynor in the 1920s. When Bartholomew returned to New Orleans, he un-
dertook some of the most brilliant golf course designs of that era: Metairie Country Club,
City Park No. 1, City Park No. 2. Although his toil and talents built these golf courses, Bar-
tholomew wasn’t allowed to play on any of them. He received little salary for several of the
courses he built.
In the 1950s, Bartholomew began work on Lake Pontchartrain Golf Course, a nine-hole course
that was expanded to 18 holes in 1957. In 1979, the layout was renovated and renamed the
Joe M. Bartholomew Sr. Golf course in honor of its designer, builder and first pro golfer.
Bartholomew later started a construction company and expanded his business into other
areas, including landscaping. As the years went by, his wealth grew, derived from successful
real estate investments and diversified assets. His contributions to Dillard and Xavier Univer-
sities endeared him to the academic community. Joe Bartholomew never strayed far from
his first love, though. He was a fixture at Pontchartrain Park well into his 70s. Even in declin-
ing health, his eyes would light up at the mention of the game of golf. In 1971, Bartholomew
had a stroke and on Oct. 12 of that year, he died.
