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 course!

Overall, great course! Not sure if it is worth $110 to play(we got a special) but it’s worth more than I paid. Very friendly staff. Would recommend to others especially if you can get a dea.

Can’t say enough good things about English Turn

We have played English Turn twice this trip. The staff go above and beyond to treat you right(especially Randy in the bar and restaurant very entertaining). The course layout is very enjoyable and challenging. The starter allowed us to start early ahead of a large group and never saw another golfer ahead till the 14th hole. Wonderful experience!

Quick round at at a Golden bear design.

Started out with a nice warm up session at their practice area. Had grass tees, chipping, sand and putting greens. All in excellent condition, a great way to start your day. Course was in real good shape. Greens were a little slow. Fairways were in real good shape. They can use more distance markers on the course. You definitely need a range finder for accuracy. Staff was excellent. the cart person, pro shop staff and superintendent all were very nice and super helpful.

I will definitely go back the next time I am in town.

Must play

A very traditional Jack Nicklaus layout that you need to play a couple of times to get a grasp on where to place your shots. The greens and course conditions were in great condition for this time of year. The cart guys were awesome and they did have a beverage cart which is always nice. Be sure to pick the right set of tees it will make your round more enjoyable. I will be back for another round for sure.

Really enjoyable

Really enjoyed this course. Staff was really friendly. For this time of year course was in really good condition. I can only 8imagine what it must be like in late spring. Just might have to come back from California to find out.

Among NOLA's best facilities

On the West Bank, English Turn is a former PGA Tour host that remains one of the best publicly accessible courses in NOLA along with Bayou Oaks and TPC. The first thing that sticks out is the clubhouse. It is massive! Be sure to poke around a little bit and go into the locker room, which could hold a full-field event and then some.

The way the Jack Nicklaus-designed course is routed is really neat: it's entirely encircled by a lagoon, so that even though it's in the middle of a residential community, all the homes (really, really nice homes) are well off the playing corridors.

The finish kicks off with a bang on the island-green par-5 15th. I went for it in two and failed miserably.

1980s Nicklaus designs aren't my favorite era of the architect, but having said that, I still really enjoyed the round at English Turn. It's not terribly difficult, there are some birdie chances, and it's kept in great shape. It's also usually a little less to play than TPC. So all in all it's a solid value to play an upper-echelon course in a destination that doesn't have very many to choose from. I had lunch in the clubhouse afterwards, which as you'd expect in NOLA, has some fine seafood.

Excella Course

This is an excellent course. The layout, staff, clubhouse grill, are all top notch

We were involved in a winter special, so the course we crowded, with so slower than normal play.

Otherwise a great time for all

Put your game face on!

This is a serious course and quite a beautiful long course as well. It was hot but that can't be helped during summer. Fairways were well developed and greens were nicely manicured. Plenty of flora and fauna to enjoy while your partner tees up. When I get some more swings under my belt I'm definitely giving this course another go round! Happy putting!

Customer service

I booked a tee time for my husband at 4:18. We had to wait fifteen minutes before someone checked us in. The employee inside of the clubhouse was unable to check us in. The course was great. When we were done with hole number nine it started to rain. When we made it to the club house an employee told us that the clubhouse was closed and we had to contact golf now to get a rain check. We paid the green fee at the golf course so my husband was unsure as to why he was told this. It was around 5:30pm and we were told we had until 7:30pm to finish.
