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.

Nice course with great staff

My wife and I played this course for the first time. The entire staff is very friendly starting with Jared at the pro shop. The cart guys brought a cart to us when we drove in which was very nice. James the starter explained the history of the course and even took pictures for us without us asking.

The course was in great condition except the greens were a little too slow for me. Otherwise, the fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. They had cold water coolers every hole it seemed like and air conditioned bathrooms on the course which was nice because it was very hot and humid when we played.

I will definitely come back again and play this course. Thanks.

Great experience

The course was a lot of fun. The starter, James, was very nice and even more informative, he was very helpful with explaining the layout and the history of the course. Overall this was a fantastic course and would absolutely love to go again if I ever visit New Orleans again.

Overall nice course

Very slow pace of play, wasn’t notified it’s cash only on the course unless you have a member number. Beautiful scenery, very small greens with some dry dirt patches on the greens. Tough, challenging course with bunkers and water everywhere, good round of golf. Shot normal score in high eighties.

Great First Time

Somewhat friendly clubhouse staff. GREAT starter, he condensed a 30-minute lecture into a 2-minute overview of the course. Fun layout, lots of water and sand. Fairways and greens were great. Worth the cost and I would play there again if I had the chance.

Great place to play

This was my first time playing at English Turn and was very pleased. The course staff was incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to be helpful. Fairways were in great shape. The greens were in decent shape, but spotty in places. Overall a fantastic outing.

Greens need some work. I played here in April and course was in very good shape. Today there were at least 6 greens with some bad spots. Some of the greens had crab grass advancing on edges. Overall a very good course and very challenging. Fairways were great. A few tee boxes a little scruffy.

Wonderful Course & Facilities

To be honest, English Turn is one of my favorite courses but i have seen it in better condition. The greens had been treated and had many dead spots. For May 28th, I was expecting better.

Greens just punched

Great course I usually play there 5-6 times a year

But the greens were punched and sanded and not rolled so putting was not possible, little mounds

If I know I would of not played for the full price

From the time we met the assistant pro, it was a most enjoyable day. James the starter was extremely pleasant and helpful. The greens ware fast but rolled true. I look forward to returning in the near future.
