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.

Would play there anytime

The best coruse I have played in quite sometime. The fairway to the greens were great, even with all the rain southeast Louisiana has been getting. I would go back and play anytime.

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.

Old Hidden Gem!!!

For a course built in 1988, it is one of the top three courses in the New Orleans metro area IMO. Great condition and worth the price.

Gorgeous and challenging course

This course is extremely well kept. The starter was informative and friendly. The driving area and chipping greens were great. I will say, this course can be challenging, and somehow, I missed the 17th hole altogether while following the cart path, so maybe some additional signage... or I'm just an idiot, lol. I would definitely recommend this course.

Course Review

Course was in very good condition but very challenging. Golfer must be a shot maker as water comes in to play on most holes with plenty of fairway and waste bunkers. Greens are small in in most cases elongated making them seem even smaller protected by bunkers and water. Good Luck!!

Always in good condition

I've played here dozens of times and I wish the course would host a professional golf tournament again. It is a good test of golf. The course is always maintained in near tournament condition. The Bermuda fairways have grown in beautifully. Always a good lie.

My only complaint is a minor one: the grass on the greens was a little higher than usual and it appears that there is another grass type trying to establish itself. But from what I know about golf course maintenance, you need to let the grass grow out occasionally for one reason or another. And as for mixture of grasses, it isn't nothing a good spraying won't fix. So don't let this dissuade you from playing here. When the greens are mowed tightly as is typical, the ball rolls true (and fast).

Ehh So So

Course was just about as I expected it to be, although I did expect the greens to be in better shape.

They were not bad but they definitely were not good by a long shot.

Beautiful course

First playing this course designed by Jack Nicklaus. The layout is beautiful with water in play on every hole. There are a few island greens that give this rather flat course some more challenges. Like other Jacks' courses, there are some big sand areas along the fairways on many holes. It is a fun course.

Course was in really good shape for this time of year. Greens were really good. A number of challenging holes within this really good layout. Well maintained. Hot deal was definitely worth it.

A must in South Louisiana

The layout is challenging (especially in the wind) but it is a great challenge, and one I would recommend to anyone playing golf in the New Orleans Area!
