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.

Freshly punched greens that were not told to golfers until starter mentions it as you step on the first tee box. I had a hot deal tee time so wasn’t too upset, but I’d be frustrated if I paid full price.

Greens are very very small (punched the morning I was there), rough isn’t well kept, but other than those characteristics- the tee boxes and the fairways are in good shape.

Pretty clubhouse and good food

Course layout was great, lost plenty of golf balls, saw a couple gators, fairways were nice, couple greens need some love, but the majority were excellent. James the starter was very nice and informative. The pro shop staff and bar staff were great as well, it was definitely worth the hot deal $80 price, but I probably wouldn’t want to pay $150 unless it was in perfect shape. I don’t regret playing here over TPC at all, I enjoyed the day very much!

First time in 25 years

James the starter was very informative and friendly. Course received a lot of rain prior to me plating. The rough was thick Bermuda grass. The fairways were good but the greens were in rough shape and slow. Would love to come back if the greens were in better shape.

Despite recent weather , good to be out there

One of the only courses open bc of the continuous rain, and English Turn was in the best condition it could be considering about 8-10 inches in the last week. Got thru 11 before rain came down again, but overall a really nice course and clubhouse and very friendly staff.

Especially friendly and helpful was the starter , James.

Very nice course experience, until….

I played the course last week with my Brother in Law. We were both excited since the courses we wanted to play in Mississippi and Alabama had significantly gone up in price. It had rained early in the morning and the course was listed as cart path only. Since my Brother in Law was recovering from knee surgery and I was diagnosed with cancer, we asked if we could use a handicap flag and play 90 degrees. The Proshop said yes. Even though it had rained, the course dried out very nicely. Everything was fine until about the 13th hole. We came up on a Women’s Scramble Tournament. Our momentum came to a crashing halt. I realize that the Women were probably club members, and they have a right to play. It was the slow play that was bad. They were slower than molasses being poured in winter.

The course is fun to play, just ask who is in front of you when you are in the pro shop.
