English Turn Golf & Country Club
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
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.
Very enjoyable
Easily playable for all levels of experience. Small greens are an inconvenience but only a distraction to a wonderful layout..
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.
Slow play
Fivesome playing before 11:00 am had the course backed up the whole day.
January Golf
It’s was a bit cooler and windy but can’t complain with golfing in January. The course layout was nice and greens were good. We will be back
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.
Get ready for a 5 hour round. They do take care of the greens though
Worth the trip to West Bank
Staff was great! They were accommodating for various players waiting to tee off so much so that we ended up in a 5-some. Not ideal for pace but was ok as we never were held-up. Golf carts have very plush seats (private course quality). “Conditions” rating based on winter conditions. Only negative feedback was the range was setup on the back tee and wish the pro shop would have made that clear when I purchased a bucket.
Greens were excellent!
Really enjoyed the course. The greens were in great shape. Pace of play was slow but understandably so…the course seemed to be in high demand at the time.
