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.

Fun course, Great late fall golf

Very forgiving off the tees, water holes almost always have a bailout on the other side. Very few OBs. Par 5s are all reachable from the men’s although 15 is an island green which led to a layup. Rough was in great shape for the time of year and the rain the day before. Fairways were perfect other than a couple of low spots which probably have moisture issues all year (right side of 16 for example). Greens are small as typical in a Nicklaus design with several approaches being almost unputtable from on the green due to green shape, slope, flag location, and poor approach (hole 13 I had to putt up the bank over the fringe and back down towards the hole tucked too left. Only major complaint was that I was playing solo for the first time, and was told by the starter the flag position was 3, but I did not have a green guide in the cart so I was guessing about approaches.

Overall, course has that compressed neighborhood golf feel without the neighborhood actually coming into play. Very flat as is typical anywhere in the gulf coast. Good practice area although the range was closed for moisture. Saw the cart attendant multiple times through. Pace of play was 3 hours on a Sunday.

Excellent Conditions

Conditions pristine. Best I’ve seen in a long time. Not to say conditions were ever terrible. They had a mishap with collars around greens and had to resod them. The resodding went real well and conditions now perfect. Can’t even tell there was an issue. Greens fast and tricky, fairways ideal.

Great Monday Afternoon Round

James, the starter is one of the best and friendliest staff at any golf course. Quick round where everyone who was a bit slower let me play through. Green was decent speed and rolling true ( a bit sandy). Course was very simple except for 2 holes where water truly comes into play..(though there’s water visible for all 18 holes. Rough was cut short so… almost felt like it is fairway. if you play from the tourny tee… it would be difficult at the current condition.

No food or drink cart on Mondays. .

Would consider to come back. Difficult to get a UBer but Lyft was easy to use.

Course and Starter was amazing!!!

The course was one of the better courses I have played at that price point. The fairway had that soft carpet feel and the greens were fast! The starter James was very friendly and informative. He also took a picture of our group before tee off. We had an amazing time and will be returning soon.

Great course

James, our starter, gave us the low down about the fairways, boundaries, green conditions, and included guidance on amenities. He claimed the course was going to be spotless, and it certainly was. Will be coming back soon.

Your web site really sucks. Really. You’ve made the easy to be difficult. I’m still trying to figure out how to cancel a tee time. Obviously calling the golf pro shop is the easiest method. Thanks for nothing. Keep on marketing all the exstrenious stuff

Great condition and wonderful staff

Played during the afternoon and was amazed at the condition of the course for the price. Greens had been sanded but still rolled true and fast. Fairways were lush and the rough manageable. The starter was the highlight of the day. James was part historian, comedian and course Marshall. Go play and ask for James.

Hot Deal

The Staff was the best thing about this course. There club manger and starter are the nicest people you would want to meet. They treated us like we paid full price. The day we were to play it was raining and terible. We were give a raincheck without any hassle. We made T time for this day. Course is very pretty and in good shape. the Starter went out of his way to help us and they had marshall to maintain pace of play which we loved. Facilty is beautiful with good food and prices were about normal . Will play again when I can get anotther Hot Deal from Golf Now.

Enjoyable course with great service

My wife and I were in New Orleans for a break and my clubs travel with me wherever I go. I contacted the team at English Turn before arriving in New Orleans to set up around for the Monday afternoon (course opens at midday on a Monday). As a single they set me up to to get out early. I met James (a retired Marine) the starter on the 1st tee. What a great guy. Gave me all the info I needed, and even kindly took a couple of photos of me and the good lady (she accompanied me around the course) on the 1st. The course was in decent shape. The rough had been cut down, so whilst the ball did drop to the bottom, as long as you keep an eye on where it went, you weren't likely to lose a ball. The only shame about the course was that they had just sanded the greens, but even then the greens were still reasonably quick. As I was a first timer at English Turn, I bought a yardage book, and found it very helpful to plot my way around. I short sided myself a few times, which cost me shots....but a one over 77 wasn't too bad. If I return to New Orleans in the future, I would happily play the course again. Thanks go to Mike and Steve for setting up my round and looking after us on the day.
