English Turn Golf & Country Club

The course at English Turn is very challenging. The course condition was very nice. However, the greens are in bad shape. Bare spots are everywhere and it is hard to get a good read on the greens because of these spots. I am not sure what type of grass they are, but they should have gone with tiff-eagle. I played two other courses with tiff-eagle and the greens were perfect. I was also taken back by the extra charge at the club house. My reservation said $87.50 due at course but I paid an additional $8.00 which I was not aware of. You might check with the pro shop on the full amount due.

Some of the funnest holes I have ever played. Jack Nicklaus must have had a grin on his face designing some of them.

One of the best courses in New Orleans. The greens need a few weeks to recover from being punched a couple of weeks ago but otherwise in excellent condition.

This Jack Nicklaus designed former site (until PGA built TPC La.) of the PGA tour stop in New Orleans is a great golf experience. Great, challenging layout is a challenge for all levels of golfers.

greens need a lot of work (bare spots and rough surfaces)

sand traps are inconsistent (not enough sand in traps around the greens)

The greeens are ruff and bad growth over the top .

I really liked this course, It has a Elegant, expensive feel. Lots of water and bunkers - Bring your sand wedge. Really nice starter, range and practice facility is nice.

The restaurant manager did not even acknowledge our group when we came in after nine and we did not get to order any food or drinks. We did not bother going in after our round and would never go back to the course ever again.

Booked English Turn as a Hot Deal. Everything went like clockwork at check-in, and both people I talked to were helpful and friendly. The golf course itself was in pristine condition, but the greens definitely had a problem. An employee told me afterward that the person in charge of maintaining the greens had just been fired, and that they were planning to replace the sod on all of them in the near future. This was the only chance I have ever had to play a course that had been used for PGA tournaments, and I really enjoyed it.

I had a great time at English Turn.

The course very challenging with lots of water that is in play on most holes. The greens are very fast with lots of undulations. The fairways are well maintained

The clubhouse is huge. The amenities were available to use and we'll maintained. The pro shop unfortunately was a little under stocked.

I'd go back

Course is really challenging but playful. What I really liked was that I booked the round on golfnow and thought I was booked to play on a certain day (a wednesday, I get to the course and see that a tournament was ongoing then I realize that my reservation was for a thursday. The staff was cordial and accepted my booking and allowed me to play on the wednasday that I arrived after the tournament was over).

Nice houses surrounding this layout. Wide fairways and the water comes into play on a few holes. Not extremely difficult at least from the whites. Decent greens compared to other courses we played in the South. Overall very nice.

Formerly a stop on the PGA Tour until it was moved after to nearby TPC Louisiana after Katrina. Wonderful layout, but be warned...water on most holes and the greens are small by modern course standards. Very open, so windy days combined with water can present a challenge. The condition was good for this time of year, however the greens were "spotty" with sand in spots and were being repaired in places with new sod. Clear areas were smooth with moderate speed (7-8). Definitely worth being on anyone's "bucket list", convenient to downtown New Orleans, and reasonably priced for a private country club experience. Staff was accomodating, practice facilities were very nice. Played in about 2.5 hours as the first group let me go in front as a single.

I finally got to play English Turn CC after having this course on my bucket list for many years. I was truly excited to play one of the finer courses in America and yet, another Jack Nickalaus designed course.

The staff was super friendly. Very professional and absolutely took care of you. I did play the championship tees (Gold) stretching over 7,000 yards.. not the longest championship course, but with water appearing in 17 of 18 holes, I can see why this course was deemed difficult for even the PGA ranks.

Hole #15 is truly amazing. It's deceptively difficult and the green is not that big at all. You can leave your self anywhere between 100 to 140 yards for your third shot.. but with the cross winds, you need to commit to your shot and pull the trigger. I was unable to do that. Hole #18 is ridiculously difficult. Water and bunker stretching from tee to green, with the hole length at 467 yards. Yes, the course beat me up pretty bad, however, it also yieled some really satisfying shots which made the experience truly special.

Add this course to your must play. The fairways, greens, bunkers and the design, it's a-la Jack Nicklaus... I think the best course in New Orleans... even better than TPC Louisiana.
