English Turn Golf & Country Club is a Jack Nicklaus design that was crafted in 1988 to host the New Orleans PGA Tour event. Nicklaus designed the course to be enjoyed equally by spectators and golfers, incorporating gallery berms and spectator mounds throughout. This challenging design is known for its undulating greens that will test even the most seasoned players. Each hole has a unique design that combines strategically placed bunkers, including large waste bunkers, and sloping grass swales. There is also carefully sculpted mounding along the edges of the fairways. On top of that, water comes into play on nearly every hole. English Turn's signature hole, the 15th, is a tricky par 5 with an island green but it's the final hole, a par 4 with water all along the left side, that is rumored to be the golf course's toughest.

Great Track!

Great course. Mr. James (the starter) is the man! He laid out all the danger prior to the round and some helpful hints. Played the combo tees (Gold / Blue) and it was definitely a challenge for our handicaps (4.7 & 7.3). Highly recommend!!!!

Still good not great

So, I was visiting New Orleans from Ohio. I golf in a league, and once or twice a week outside of that. My wife suggested I bring golf clubs, never thought of golfing in New Orleans. Wink wink. I looked at the golf scene in New Orleans, and saw that the Arnold Palmer design course, English turn, was once the host of the Zürich open. They haven’t hosted since 2006. And it’s no longer a private club. However, the course was in pretty good shape, the fairways better than average shape. The greens were small, flat, and not very green all. That being said, though, I do wanna highlight that the staff was outstanding. We had a rain delay and they handled everything very professionally, and I got back out there and finished the round after the storm went through. So I wanna give a shout out to the staff there cause they’re outstanding. Their listed rate is around 125. However, if you use any of the apps, you can probably get it for 70. I would say that it was worth $70. So all in all I can recommend it. If you’re looking for TPC quality, then go to the TPC in New Orleans.

Great experience overall

Visiting from out of town (Portland, OR) and was looking for a challenging and fun course. English Turn delivered. I enjoyed the layout with water in play on every hole. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The starter James gave me a nice introduction to the course. I played as a single Saturday afternoon and finished in 3.5 hours. Loved the pace of play.

The only issue I had was the greens had some brown spots that definitely affected the putt. A few of the spots were significant enough that I actually needed to move my line (called it ground under repair).

But overall I had a great experience and would play it again.

Excellent course, terrific staff

James the course Marshall may be the friendliest man since Mr. Rodgers. The course is in excellent shape, we played with a group of high and low handicaps, and everyone found the round both fun and challenging. We will be back.

Nice layout.

Course is a good challenge high or low handicappers. Greens look like they have a fungus too bad that is the only issue I have. Staff is great I come through a couple of times a year and the cart guys are always there with a cart when I park.

Awesome course! Only thing that would make it better is if I was good at golf

The course was incredible. A few patchy spots on the greens but that's expected during maintenance.

Architecture was awesome... Tons of water and strategically places bunkers. Greens rolled true. Fairways were in excellent shape.

However, the primary reason for the 5-star review was James, the starter. I've met plenty of starters who don't really care... They just want to get you out of the way for the next group. James gave me a world class run down of the course and even took my picture for lasting memories. My interaction with him was a great way to start off the round.

I will be back next time I'm in NOLA.
