English Turn Golf & Country Club

Course is nice. Good range and warm up area.. staff is very friendly and helpful. Pace of play was about as bad as anywhere I’ve ever played.. waited to hit every shot on 15 or 16 if the 18 holes…

Fun. Lots of water. James was an excellent starter.

Lovely course that literally weaves along a small river for the entire course. So, yeah, water is always in play. Greens were just right for me, not slow but not slick as ice. Fairways were in great shape given that it’s winter time and some of the grass is dormant. Nice driving range, great facilities. James the starter was awesome! He stopped and chatted with me a couple times, as I was playing solo. Asked for honest feedback. Clubhouse staff was incredibly nice as well. Overall, if I’m in the area again, I’d play it. Oh - Nicklaus and his bunker placement are a pain, but give a nice challenge. More than once I found a small hidden bunker by the green.

Course was very good condition. Staff was great…James was our starter, Kory helped load the clubs and Sue was on the drink cart.

Played in 3 hours. Outstanding job by all…great experience.

Besides being known for holding the Zurich Open prior to hurricane Katrina this course is named after a historical moment in time that I found to be appealing in and of itself.

The course is not overly difficult even though there is a lot of water. The bunkers are in great shape with superb sand.

I highly recommend playing this course if you are in the area.

The staff and starter are extremely welcoming and friendly. Great course with memorable holes.

Course was in winter shape. Friendly staff. Enjoyed it.

Only thing that would have made it visually better was if they overseeded. This time of year the Bermuda checks out and turns brown. This has no impact on play it’s just a visual thing.

There are hazards on every hole. Water runs throughout the course and the small greens are surrounded by green side bunkers. Great, challenging course. Will play again. Also delicious dogs at the turn.

This course is a must play while in The Big Easy! A PGA course from 1988 to 2006 and still hosts various tournaments. The course is well maintained and beautiful. It will challenge your skills and is fun to play. Staff was exceptional. The 15th hole is their signature hole and I see why, the green is an island! I will be back

Always top notch here. Pro shop people are always on point and friendly. The best course in the GNO.

Did a golf trip to New Orleans. Learned on the way that the south has been experiencing a drought… and it showed. To be fair I am not going to rate or comment on the course conditions. Instead, given the rest of my experience I am choosing to assume that with some rain the course conditions would be fantastic, and I do look forward to returning one day to find out.

Things I Liked

- For me, English Turn was the most difficult course I played in New Orleans. Though the fairways are wide, the bunkers are well placed and if you’re not on the “line of charm” your approach shot will be challenging. Oh, and there’s water everywhere!

- The back 9 was a good challenge. Hole #15 is their signature hole, but that is sandwiched between 2 really tough par 4s.

- Maybe I just didn’t walk in the right areas, but I recall wishing there were a few more yardage markers out in the fairways.

- Despite the drought, the greens were still in great shape.

- A 4some let me (walking single) play through. Thank you!

Things I Did Not Like

- Non-resident rates. Though I would rather pay the course directly, that level of mark-up led to me retreat and purchase an online deal.

Thing Important to Me

- This course takes up some acreage. The walk from some of the tees to greens can be noticeable. That being said, the course is walkable and I would do so again.

- Cool branded ball marker.

- There were water coolers on the range, which was enough for me that day. I don’t recall seeing any water coolers out on the course.

This course is a great layout with lots of water and bunkers, many of the bunkers save you from a lost ball in the water if you spray the ball a bit, course is in great shape for Mid November, greens are in fantastic shape, staff was very friendly when checking in, they let me go out early since the course wasn’t that busy, overall a great course and would recommend to anyone if you’re in the area, I’m a 7 handicap and play lots of different courses from west coast to east coast.
