English Turn Golf & Country Club

Beautiful grounds, huge club house, great practice facility. I paid $50 for my round on a weekday afternoon. Was like being a member of a really nice country club for the day. Course is lined with beautiful properties, including Emeril Lagasse's. Also, PGA tour used to stop there before TPC New Orleans.

Love playing this course. Only down side is the best deals or on weekdays, so looking forward to another holiday or vacation day. The Zurich classic used to be played there which should give some indication of the play-ability. Love the island green hole, it'll raise the hair on your neck.

I had a great time, I play as a single but I got paired with a nice member.

Water comes into play on every hole. Hundreds of sands traps and lots of waste bunkers that are not user friendly. I love this course, toughest course I've ever played. This course is not for beginners!

A little expensive for the area. Course in good condition, staff friendly and helpful. No directional signage, so though to tell where next hole is. I played as a single, behind two foresomes...not a good call. They graciously let me through and pace was great after that, felt like my own private course. Beautiful area and course.

I've never played a golf course that didn't mark there tee boxes! I figured it out but could have been easier. Also the course was not available on sky caddie and they have no gps on the carts even though their set up for it. Could not get the guy in the pro shop to hook me up with anyone, so played alone kinda boring. Course was very beautiful and in great shape so go play it if you get the chance. Very beautiful homes around the course and water on every hole with alligators so beware!

Played here for the first time. The driving range and practice areas were great. The clubhouse is very nice and the staff was helpful and friendly. The course was in very good condition with the exception of the green speeds. The greens were painfully slow. I have played a lot of courses all over the Southeast and have never observed greens at a course this nice and expensive roll that slow. They were healthy, just extremely hairy and slow. I know weather is a huge factor and perhaps they were not able to roll and/or mowed them for some reason. But it was extremely disappointing to pay over $100 for a round, expect a first class course, and have to absolutely hammer 15 foot putts to get them to the hole.

Ive played alot of courses all over louisiana, mississippi, and alabama. This was my first time playing a golf course that had changed from private to semi private. Not sure if all courses like this are the same but this place felt odd. Course was great. Was extremely wet from the previous few days of rain and still played well. Course had some nice holes. The problem was that if you weren't a member they let you know by the way they talked. We were shadowed the whole round. They tried to hide it but we caught on mid ways through the round. We booked through golf now so every time they asked a question or talked to us we were reffered to as "golf now guys." I heard that phrase at least 10 times that day. You can tell you are not wanted there at the course but they need your money to keep it up. Every thing else about the place was great. I may have had a one time bad experience but next time i will be weary and will pay attention to things like this. Hopefully, It was just one bad day.

Still the all time best course in NOLA in my opinion. One of the older courses where thought and creativity was part of the design, not just making it 7,000 yds. Gotta love English Turn.

Great course!!! Will play here many more times. Very friendly staff and great practice area

great couse; very tough, used to host the local PGA event. Tiny greens.

My wife and I played English Turn for the first time. The course was in very good condition; the greens smooth and very fast. Course demands accurate tee shots on many holes, but not unreasonably so. Overall a very pleasant experience except for the pace of play, but that wasn't the course management's fault--just very slow golfers.

I played three courses in the area this week and English Turn was by far my favorite. If I am ever back in the NOLA area I will play every round here. The Golf Now discount was great when compared with the regular non resident rate. I was paired with some nice local members. This was helpful as they shared their course knowledge with me.

Kudos to the GM who spent extra time regaling us with local vibe and sports chat. With a cigar and cocktail it was a perfect cap to a great day of golf! Have played this course twice on two different visits to NO I'll definitely have it on the schedule for the next visit.

Overall the course was great to play. The greens are small, which will challenge anyone's approach game. The staff was excellent. They did a great job of monitoring pace of play and the beverage cart was never far.

I have had the opportunity to play all over Louisiana and must say that my time at English Turn has been one of the most enjoyable. Relative to the current home of the PGA Tour event, these greens are smaller and more challenging. I liked the premium on accuracy off the tee. I also liked the options you had on 2nd shots into the par 5's. The clubhouse and staff within were first rate. The practice facilities are also first rate. Time well spent and I will be back!

Kindest Regards,

One of the most beautiful courses you will find in New Orleans. That being said, I was shocked how beat up some of the greens were. Still worth every penny, but its a shame such a nice course has 6-8 greens that look like an unkempt municipal course.

Fun layout, poor green condition, very pachy with dead spots

It was a great day for golf, they had alot of rain the last two days. They had the 90 degree rule but the course dried out. Everyone there was super friendly, good food, great staff and cart girl on each 9 even though they weren't busy. Nice to have a ice cold beer in the summer heat.

Fairways were great, greens need a lot of attention
