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 class
What a beautiful tract. Mr James our starter was one a kind, friendliest and most informative starter we have ever encountered. We played Friday in preparation for my son’s tournament on Monday and both days were outstanding
The rough is too rough for me
I hated that if you missed the fairway you had to consider it a lost ball and drop and then hope you can find the ball you just dropped.
This is terrible terrible terrible.
Did I mention how much I disliked the fact that I was looking for my ball so much, I quit playing even after I paid.
It began to cost me more in golf balls than entire round.
I pay too much for balls to can't find them simply because it ran out the fairway.
If this is what they will be from here on, I will never ever ever ever play there again.
Just aside.
The last time I played this course I shot 38 and 37.
If I would have kept playing I would have lost 38 balls
Worth Every Penny
The entire staff was great. James, told us everything we needed to know and more. Can’t wait to play this course again. From the fairways to the greens, everything was top notch.
Turned Up
Great layout. Played longer than what I expected. Plenty of punishment for errant approaches. Watch where your ball enters the thick rough! I lost a couple balls that I should’ve been able to play without penalty. Friendly staff. Informative starter. A course you’ll want to play twice if you haven’t seen it before.
You must play this course
We were visiting New Orleans on the 4th of July weekend.
Fantastic team, they have there!
Congratulations on the great customer service!
I say congratulations instead of thanking you because isn't easy to have such great people working together.

The course was in decent shape. The staff was one of the beat I've ever encountered. They were all reasonably friendly and courteous.
The only problem I had was a member group who wouldn't let me play through them when they held me up on every hole. Outside of that...a very enjoyable experience.
Father's Day Trip at English Turn
I took my dad here for a Father's Day trip. We definitely had fun playing another Jack Nicklaus course. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, from the guy who was ready to setup a cart for us, to the pro shop attendee and the starter. It was a pretty hot day, but there's plenty of drinking water, the cart girl came by several times and there's a little canteen (for lack of a better word) at the turn if you're looking for sandwiches and whatnot. So overall, the service and amenities were great.
The driving range wasn't really setup specifically for different ball play, so you're mostly hitting out of pretty thick grass instead of a mat or short grass. Tee boxes were in good condition, no complaints there, really. The fairways were pretty thick, but what was disappointing were all the groundskeepers working on them in the middle of the day. We even had a guy just cutting the grass right in front of us on one hole, wouldn't wait for us to play through. The greens played ok, but could use some work too.
Overall, I just felt like the condition of the course didn't really meet what you pay for. I'm no scratch golfer, but I've played plenty over the years and felt like we were paying a premium simply for it being a Nicklaus course. I'm glad we played, but would probably only consider doing it again at a discount rate or some kind of specialty rate.
Well kept greens friendly staff
Great Layout
Course layout was very fun to play. We played in the middle of summer so it was very hot. Other than it being 100 degrees we had a great time. Some bunkers could use some new sand and the fringe on a few of the greens was a little rough. The greens were in great shape, and the fairways were super nice! Overall good experience at English Turn.
Hot Deal
The Staff was the best thing about this course. There club manger and starter are the nicest people you would want to meet. They treated us like we paid full price. The day we were to play it was raining and terible. We were give a raincheck without any hassle. We made T time for this day. Course is very pretty and in good shape. the Starter went out of his way to help us and they had marshall to maintain pace of play which we loved. Facilty is beautiful with good food and prices were about normal . Will play again when I can get anotther Hot Deal from Golf Now.
Great course, awesome staff
Great course, super friendly staff. They were very accommodating and everything was top notch. My friends and I will definitely be coming back.
Wonderful course
I played TPC Louisiana the day before and enjoyed English Turn more. The variety of strategic, penal, and heroic holes, and the balanced order in which they’re placed, make this course a joy to play. The conditioning is decent - nothing to boast about, but certainly good enough. But the star of the show is the design by Nicklaus. Very fun course that requires careful consideration to score well and extremely playable, for all levels of golfer. Highly recommended.
Outstanding Experience!
Cody (or Cory, can’t remember) pulled up to the car as soon as we pulled in and immediately got us loaded up. James (our starter) was amazing and full of helpful advice. Ebony took great care of us at the bar. Will definitely make a return trip to the Turn.
