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.

Fantastic Golf Experience

The Saint Paul’s golf team had a practice round today at English Turn Country Club. The course was in amazing shape, especially the greens. The greens were very fast and true.

The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating. Mike Pizziitola, the head golf professional, was very helpful and first-class. The pro shop staff was excellent. James, the starter, is very engaging and informative. The kind lady at the snack shop next to the 9th green was fantastic.

I can’t recommend English Turn Country Club enough.

Love this course since it hosted the NO Open.

Big fairways but typical small and challenging Jack Nicklaus greens.

Yes it’s winter, but the course is in great shape

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 for the History books

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.

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.

Great course

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.

New Orleans gem

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
