English Turn Golf & Country Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great Monday Afternoon Round
James, the starter is one of the best and friendliest staff at any golf course. Quick round where everyone who was a bit slower let me play through. Green was decent speed and rolling true ( a bit sandy). Course was very simple except for 2 holes where water truly comes into play..(though there’s water visible for all 18 holes. Rough was cut short so… almost felt like it is fairway. if you play from the tourny tee… it would be difficult at the current condition.
No food or drink cart on Mondays. .
Would consider to come back. Difficult to get a UBer but Lyft was easy to use.
Course and Starter was amazing!!!
The course was one of the better courses I have played at that price point. The fairway had that soft carpet feel and the greens were fast! The starter James was very friendly and informative. He also took a picture of our group before tee off. We had an amazing time and will be returning soon.
Great staff!!!!
Great service. Recommend for everyone. James is the best starter ive ever come across
English Turn
Tour ought to return here from the over-rated and Griselda overpriced TPC Louisiana.
Great condition and wonderful staff
Played during the afternoon and was amazed at the condition of the course for the price. Greens had been sanded but still rolled true and fast. Fairways were lush and the rough manageable. The starter was the highlight of the day. James was part historian, comedian and course Marshall. Go play and ask for James.
Enjoyable course with great service
My wife and I were in New Orleans for a break and my clubs travel with me wherever I go. I contacted the team at English Turn before arriving in New Orleans to set up around for the Monday afternoon (course opens at midday on a Monday). As a single they set me up to to get out early. I met James (a retired Marine) the starter on the 1st tee. What a great guy. Gave me all the info I needed, and even kindly took a couple of photos of me and the good lady (she accompanied me around the course) on the 1st. The course was in decent shape. The rough had been cut down, so whilst the ball did drop to the bottom, as long as you keep an eye on where it went, you weren't likely to lose a ball. The only shame about the course was that they had just sanded the greens, but even then the greens were still reasonably quick. As I was a first timer at English Turn, I bought a yardage book, and found it very helpful to plot my way around. I short sided myself a few times, which cost me shots....but a one over 77 wasn't too bad. If I return to New Orleans in the future, I would happily play the course again. Thanks go to Mike and Steve for setting up my round and looking after us on the day.
Awesome place
Visiting in a bachelor party, awesome course and experience. Jamie the starter gave the best course breakdown and intro I’ve ever seen and offered to take our pictures as well. All staff was great, course in awesome condition. No complaints at all.
Excellent service
James the starter was phenomenal. The rest of the staff was awesome!! Course couldn’t be in better shape. Highly recommend!!!!
Great Course
Always accommodating and professional. Best course in the area, hands down.
First timer
Lovely community setting. Friendly and very welcoming staff. Wide fairways, fast greens.
Great Round
The course was in great shape. First group out so the pace was good. For the money I would have expected GPS on the carts and ice in the cooler.
