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.

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.
Got out for twilight, so the rate was reasonable. Course is challenging and in very good condition. Greens are fast.
Great course!
Course is in excellent shape! Will be back ASAP and is a must play while in NOLA
Great course, friendly members and staff
James the starter was awesome! I was walking on as a single, he got me paired with some members and we had a great round. Clubhouse was a great spot to catch some college basketball after the round.
5 Star
The course was in great shape. The fairways and greens were 5 stars. 👍👍⛳️
January Golf
It’s was a bit cooler and windy but can’t complain with golfing in January. The course layout was nice and greens were good. We will be back
PGA caliber course at a muni price
Last time I was at English Turn was to watch the 1992 PGA event. 31 years later I got a great green fee rate on GolfNow and had to play this track. Playing on Monday they do not have all the normal facilities open but a real golfer doesn’t need that.
Started off by meeting James the starter on the first tee. Upon hearing that the other golfer and I had not played the course before he gave us an excellent overview of the course.
Course itself was in pristine shape. They do sand the greens Monday morning but they still rolled true. They were fast!
The course has its challenges but I enjoyed every bit of it.
Thanks again to James and Mike the Pro. Hope to play again next year when I return to New Orleans.
Get ready for a 5 hour round. They do take care of the greens though
Greens were excellent!
Really enjoyed the course. The greens were in great shape. Pace of play was slow but understandably so…the course seemed to be in high demand at the time.
Worth the trip to West Bank
Staff was great! They were accommodating for various players waiting to tee off so much so that we ended up in a 5-some. Not ideal for pace but was ok as we never were held-up. Golf carts have very plush seats (private course quality). “Conditions” rating based on winter conditions. Only negative feedback was the range was setup on the back tee and wish the pro shop would have made that clear when I purchased a bucket.
