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.

This course made my favorites list
Had a great time at this course. Lots of bunkers! Almost all of the holes have water hazards. Wide open fairways are just begging you to birdie or par; long par 3s & 4s though. The chicken sandwich & chips were very good.
Good Golf Experience, but..
I got on this course with a GolfNow HotDeal, but I see that typically it's $125 to play. in my opinion, this course is a long way from being anything special enough to merit that type of green fee. It's a good course, but there's nothing special about it. Greens were slow and flat. Just aim and putt. The course is short overall as well, the wind determines the difficulty.
I'd suggest playing, but seems like there are other options for that kind of money that are more worthwhile
Not a good experience!!
No one at the bag drop to help with clubs. No hello are how are you frm the pro shop, and no mention of the greens under repair I know there are times when golf courses need work I understand but I wish they did a better job of communicating to the golfers. I would like to say after the round cart attendant did a great job!!
Course in great condition
Course in great condition staff was friendly. Would recommend it to friends. Pace of play was average.
Gem of New Orleans
The course was in great shape. Greens are fast & true. Stuck behind a slow foursome, but I was playing with a member who jumped the group for a hole & picked up the missed hole later. Don't miss this course.
Excellent condition
The course was in excellent condition, and we played at a good rate. Well worth it.
Thank you very much- We hope to see you again soon!
Superb country club style layout
Loved the golf course. Generous fairways but very small greens. And speaking of the greens, some of the best bermuda greens I have putted on.
Thank you for the comments- I will let Jimmy Shannon our superintendent know!
very nice
the greens were soft and fast, the fairways were excellent. Very nice cousre.
Thank you for the comments, I will let our course superintendent, know!
Hope to see you again soon!
Great course
Nice practice facility, well maintained. My friends and I love it, will play again!
I am glad you had a great time, please come back and see us!
This is what
All golf courses should be held to the standards of English Turn. The day I played the course was "Cartpath only" due to the torrential downpour of 1.75 inches of rain previous night. Amazingly the coarse drained very well and was very playable .Risk and reward for all skill levels can be found at English Turn. I rate English Turn aa 9.5 out of 10.
Thank you very much, I hope you can come back and play on a day that is not so wet.
Look forward to seeing you in New Orleans again!
In great condition
Tee to green this course is in exceptional condition. The greens were fast but rolling true. My friend and I finished the course playing a reasonable pace in just under three hours. Got a hot rate on golfnow, and will definitely play this course again if that rate becomes available.
You don't have to wait for the hot rate, come back and visit, we have a twilight rate everyday after 3:00 pm.
Perfect shape
The course was in perfect shape & the greens were running about 10. Great day of golf and very few golfers in the early morning. Played under 4 hours.
Thank you for visiting us. I hope you come back and see us next time your in town.
English Turn, this is best Golf Conditions.
I play at many locations, around Texas, Mississippi, an Louisiana. From Tee To Green it is flawless. The roughs, greens are lush. The Greens are smooth and fast, not to fast just perfect. I hope the new owner keeps adding landscaping features like Rock and stone with flowers. You can tell they have spented a lot of money fixing everything, its beautiful and fun to play, with that just right amount of difficulty. I ate a hamburger and fries and it was delicious and big. I recommend eating this meal at the end of your round. I was so stuffed I could not swing. You will enjoy the whole experience.
I hope you come back and see us soon, I will let Randy in the Grill know you enjoyed the food.
Hope to see you again soon!
Fathers Day Round
Very well kept, speedy greens. Although water in play on all 18 holes, playable for all handicaps!
Thank you very much, I hope you hit it straight, come see us again!
Great course
This is one of the top courses in New Orleans. The greens were in excellent conditions. I don't know if I would pay the full price, but for the 60 dollar price I got it was a bargain.
Thank you for playing! Right now LA Residents can play for $75 before 3 pm and $60 after 3 pm.
I hope you come play often!
thank you-
A Nicklaus Patsy
This was the most benign Nicklaus course I've played. Fairways are large and forgiving. Only defense is some very small greens. I would play it again, but I wouldn't want it as a steady diet.
Right now the rough is up, and the greens are fast. I hope your able to come back and play.
A fine golf course in outstanding condition.
Nothing further needs to be said. Try it, you'll love it.
everyhole is set up different, makes it challenging
it was a perfect day to play, course was good, pace of play was perfect. had a great time, cant wait to come back !!!
Hope to see you again soon.
Thank you for the comment.
English Turn - 4-4
Great course for a hot deal int he afternoon. We pretty much had the course to ourselves, which we were told was rare. We enjoyed the brisk pace of play and the good conditions of the course. Great clubhouse.
Different style, but every bit as good as the TPC Louisiana
I played the TPC course twice during the week and was impressed with the conditions there. But English Turn is every bit as impressive in its own right. More open, windier, but conditions were just as good. The practice area is nicer than the TPC, the starter was entertaining, the landing area of drives plenty fair. The greens are small, but it just adds an appropriate challenge to a course that is suppose to keep one's attention. If it wasn't for the hot deals, I couldn't justify the kind of money they want. But IF you can get this course for $60 or less, it's a must play.
