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.

Lucky Find

Last minute decision but when I arrived at the course an hour early the Pro Shop's friendly gentleman offered to let me go out early as a single if I chose to. I ended up practicing a little, they have a beautiful practice area.

I asked the Starter to pair me up if possible and he went out of his way to see that I would not play alone as there were some foursome ahead of me.

Overall a great day...

First Time Treat

This was the first time playing English Turn. Considering all of the rain we have had recently, the course was in fantastic condition. The weather was fantastic, the course was challenging but not impossible, the staff was very friendly. Could not beat the deal we got on golfnow. I will play here as often as possible.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
