English Turn Golf & Country Club

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.

The course has potential, but is “VERY TIRED”. The condition of the greens would be the only thing that made it somewhat worth the price. The tee boxes, fairways and adjacent areas are far below the standards I would expect from a Nicholas Signature course.

Had a fantastic day with my Dad..They let him ride along with no cost.. Pretty much had the course to ourselves on a Beautiful sunny day.. $60 golfnow😁⛳️

Weather was perfect. Greens in great shape. Lots of bunkers and water hazards (but only if you go far left or right). Nice layout. And some spectacular holes.

Good value. Driving range not included in the price. Would gladly return.

James, the starter, did a great job giving us the overview of the course and taking our picture at the first tee box. He even caught up to us on hole 18 to see how we enjoyed the course.

Great round of golf shot 7 under my normal score. I played 18 holes in just over 3 hours.

Good pace of play, course was in good shape and greens were pretty fast.
