English Turn Golf & Country Club
       About
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.

First time here.
Great experience starting at the curb appeal. Staff greeted me at the door. Explained in detail where to get my range balls and how to get to the starter at hole 1. James took my picture at the first tee with the clubhouse in the background. Explained the course in detail that I’ve never experienced before. For the money you can’t beat this old pga course.
Great course presenting challenges on almost every holes
Friendly welcome and the staff took the time to explain all about the course. The Jack Nicklaus design certainly forces us to plan each and every hole. Water all along with a multitude of sand traps. We enjoyed it very much.
James made it
Enjoyed the starter’s talk on the first tee. Great experience and great course.
Excellent experience
Took my son. Both had a great time. The starter, James, was the best. He gave us the history and details about the course. He snapped some pictures for the two of us. Great experience.
The little things make a difference
The course was in great shape and an excellent challenge for this 15-handicapper. There is lots of water to see and admire, but it generally doesn't come into play unless you're well off the fairway. The exception is hole 15 with it's memorable island green -one of my favorite holes ever. You will be battling the challenging bunkers, however. Steer clear. I spent a day at the beach that was reflected on my scorecard.
Our starter, James was a highlight. He gave us a great overview of the course then took a picture of our foursome before setting us off on hole 1. On 16, he caught up with us again to see how we enjoyed our day.
The burger at the turn was great and the staff was good, without exception. The head pro said hello and urged us to visit again. I most definitely plan to!
Got out for twilight, so the rate was reasonable. Course is challenging and in very good condition. Greens are fast.
Solid all around place
Food staff course all very good. Greens were recovering but very playable. I recommend it
English Turn
First of all we were greeted by two nice young men in the parking lot that loaded our bags on the carts and drove them to the cart area. Once inside the pro shop we were greeted by a very helpful young lady who got us checked in for our tee time. Range balls included in the price. Visited the well maintained driving range; extremely deep range and numerous areas to hit from.
We reported to the first tee where we were greeted and instructed about the course by a retired Marine who was very informative.
The course in in extremely great shape, fairways were well maintained and awesome to hit off of.
The greens were true to the Marine’s description; fast. They were a little firm as well. Have a good chipping game available as it will be used often.
Overall I was very pleased with my first visit to the course. I will return and now that I know the layout I expect better from my game.
Greens
The greens are always in great shape. They roll vast and look healthy.
Great course!
Course is in excellent shape! Will be back ASAP and is a must play while in NOLA
Surprised
Overly surprised on course, layout and conditions of the course were very good. We did play later in the day so I know the greens were a little slower due to them growing but I will definitely play it again!
James, the starter did an excellent job explaining the golf course and what to watch out for
