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.

Glad to see it back.

Was apprehensive as I haven’t played English Turn in years during some bad times. The current management has turned the course around and it was in fantastic shape. Every bunker and waste bunker freshly raked. Greens were back to their original shape and size. Greens were top-dressed but rolled pure and fast. It was well worth the weekend rate. Only negative is the halfway house was closed due to lack of staffing. Will be back very very soon.

Hot and Windy Round of Golf

An already difficult course was made even more challenging by a very stiff wind. Course was still in great shape, although the greens were super fast like usual. Not too many people playing out there, so I really enjoyed that part of it. It's a great course, just wish it was a little closer to civilization.

Love it!

Course was in great shape, greens are very small, challenging, but roll true. If James is your starter, lucky you! Staff is very friendly.

Top notch

First time playing English Turn, we play TPC frequently. It’s obvious that English Turn used to be on the PGA tour (Zürich) as it is in immaculate shape and very challenging. From the moment of arrival everyone was a pleasure to deal with, inviting, helpful, and friendly. The Marshall was super nice and knowledgeable, and upon learning our first time there, gave us a great run down on the layout and what to expect. Even insisted he snap a quick pic for us.

Cart girl came around often, but not hovering, and she was super friendly. Super fun course with lots of water, plenty of bunkers, and some extremely challenging contours to the greens.

Overall, IMHO, one of the Top 3 courses in New Orleans.

If coming to NOLA, and can only play one course, this is the one! 5 out of 5 stars.

PGA caliber course at a muni price

Last time I was at English Turn was to watch the 1992 PGA event. 31 years later I got a great green fee rate on GolfNow and had to play this track. Playing on Monday they do not have all the normal facilities open but a real golfer doesn’t need that.

Started off by meeting James the starter on the first tee. Upon hearing that the other golfer and I had not played the course before he gave us an excellent overview of the course.

Course itself was in pristine shape. They do sand the greens Monday morning but they still rolled true. They were fast!

The course has its challenges but I enjoyed every bit of it.

Thanks again to James and Mike the Pro. Hope to play again next year when I return to New Orleans.
