English Turn Golf & Country Club

In a city that doesn't have any hills, this course has a fun layout and will come back when we can find a good deal!

Beautiful course and layout, very well maintained. The staff was professional and courteous. Greens were a bit tough had to be confident with your line. Can't wait to play there again.

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).

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.

Le parcours était dans un excellent état. Les départs recommandés correspondent parfaitement au niveau des golfeurs pour garder son plaisir de jouer tout en étant "challenging".

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.

Absolutely beautiful course with great layout, lots of water, dog legs and island green. Just awesome place. 1 of the top 5 tracks I have played

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!

Really glad I decided to squeeze in an afternoon round at this former site for the New Orleans PGA Tour event after a business trip. This Nicklaus design sits south of the city on the other side of the Mississippi River. It is a private club that offers select public tee times. Water comes into play on all 18 holes. Grass depressions are prominent features around the green and several fairways. What really stuck out to me about English Turn is the size of the greens. They're small. Really small. They are akin to Harbour Town, and reflect the same pitch and subtle movements of that Nicklaus co-design. It was a bit wet from recent rain a couple of days before, but the fairways were not bad. Being below sea-level, area courses are going to be a little damp more than not anyway, but this course drains very well. The greens were rolling 8 to 9, according to the very helpful starter. To me they played a little slower than I prefer, but allowed for aggressive putts without fear of rolling them too far by. I think this, too, was more of a product of the dormancy this time of year. The flow of the course works very well. This course is very open off the tee, despite some large fairway waste bunkers utilized throughout. Long hitters will score very well here. The par 5s are all reachable with mid-to-long irons. My favorite holes on the course were the short par 4s, particularly Nos. 4, 10 and 13. I played the combo Blue/white tees that measured 6,100 yards and a 5-iron on No. 4 set up a neat shot with a gap wedge to a shallow green perched on a peninsula. No. 10 invites a 3W over the collection of bunkers on the right side of the fairway, setting up another wedge approach that flirts with water. What I liked about 13 was the green itself. It is hourglass shaped and runs horizontally, creating a bowl effect toward the center. Bottom line: you can swing away off the tee, but if your iron game isn't on point, plan on having to get up and down all day around these dwarf greens.

This is hands down the best course in the greater New Orleans area. I have played every course around & this one is always in excellent condition & picture perfect. Best facilities & rated #1 in my opinion.

I played this course on a December morning following a couple days of heavy rain. It was so wet they didn't open the driving range. There was standing water in many of the bunkers. I was thinking I had been foolish to book and pay for my tee time in advance to get the "Hot Deal". The bright side was that I practically had the entire course to myself... and it turned out the course was in very good shape, It was remarkable.

Thanks to the unusual circumstances of playing virtually alone at such a low price, I had a very pleasant time, and I'd play there again. I can't imagine paying the normal $150 non-resident rate though.

This course is recognizable from the years of hosting the PGA Tour stop in New Orleans.Most Tee shots are not too long but accuracy is needed. Bunkers were all in good shape with fine grain sand. The Greens had recently been rolled and were in great shape and insanely hard to read and put...this to me would be the only reason the pros had any difficulty here. Staff (especially James the starter) were great. Played with several members and had a great time.

Great design, unique layout. Meandering moat comes into play on every hole. Greens are small, a little slow.

I booked a mid afternoon tee time on a Saints game day so the course was wide open for the most part and pace of play was not an issue. The driving range is located right next to hole #1 and is available for use. I did not use the putting practice area or notice if they had a chipping area. The starter at the first tee was first rate in letting me know everything plus more that I needed to know about is course. I also saw him twice more during my 1st 9 holes where he was just checking to see how things were. I did not see a cart girl, but that was not an issue as your cart comes with 2 cold water bottles. Great course that is easy to follow for first timers. Not as many blind shots as others have stated. Greens were all in great condition except for the 1st par 3 on the back 9, but I birded that hole so not really gonna complain . Will definitely be back when I get a chance.

We played the English Turn Cours for the first time. The layout is very interesting and the course is in a good shape. But ....the pace of play was very slow. Firstly we had a group of eight players, non-golf-players from a wedding-group, who have had the golfclubs for the first time in their hands, in front of us. This happened on a premium time, on Saturday at 11 a.m. The slowest round of golf in the U.S. we ever played.

The course was in great shape. Lots of fun to play. Great mixture of holes. Staff was great, especially the starter. Much better course and value than TPC of Louisiana. If you can only play one round while in New Orleans. Play English Turn.

The staff couldn't have been nicer. Great practice range with FREE balls! Very challenging course. A lot of sand and water comes into play. Glad I had my phone app so I could see hole routing. No maps on the score card or tee. Greens very fast. Look like they had been rolled. If you want to play a tour like course, this is it.
