Our take
The Iris Motel suits golfers prioritizing a clean, comfortable, and budget-conscious base over direct course access. Its smoke-free environment and outdoor pool are definite advantages for a relaxed trip. It is particularly well-suited for a small group of friends or a couple who plan to spend most of their time on various courses and exploring the local area, returning to a reliable, unpretentious room. Those seeking a full-service resort experience with extensive on-site dining or a pro shop should consider other options.
- Book your tee times well in advance, especially during peak golf season, as the motel does not offer guaranteed access.
- Consider renting a car for easier access to multiple golf courses and to explore New Orleans beyond public transport.
- Take advantage of the outdoor pool for a cool-down after a hot round, particularly refreshing during the summer months.
