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.

Course was good
The pace of play and the layout of the course were great. The greens are not quite what I would have expected a top level course to be, but that may have been due to being early in the season.
4.5 stars
Our ranger and greater was jamest. He was amazing and insisted my father and I get a picture together as it was our first time there .
The course was dry but was overall impressed with the challenging but fair design of the course.
The clubhouse and amenities are in need of some updating and were probably thriving in the 90's.
Our rental clubs were brand new TaylorMade and it was nice to have a choice of multiple brands.
Considering our round deal price was $70 I think it was an EXCELLENT value and we had a great time. I've played the city course and was not impressed, I think this is the perfect place for golfers visiting new Orleans who want to play the best course possible without paying the outrageous price of TPC LOUISIANA.
Would definitely play again
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.
Great Value - Great Course
Course was priced adequately in comparison to other courses in the area based on what you get. Each hole is different, making the course memorable and fun for every tee shot and approach. Greens are designed in an extremely challenging way (very long and narrow) on some holes which is unique to any course in the New Orleans area. Jack Nicklaus did a very good job with the design and I would definitely play again.
One of My Favorite Courses
Love this course since it hosted the NO Open.
Big fairways but typical small and challenging Jack Nicklaus greens.
Fun. Lots of water.
Fun. Lots of water. James was an excellent starter.
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 was very good condition. Staff was great…James was our starter, Kory helped load the clubs and Sue was on the drink cart.
Played in 3 hours. Outstanding job by all…great experience.
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.
Nice day
Course was in winter shape. Friendly staff. Enjoyed it.
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.
Nice Course
Course is nice. Good range and warm up area.. staff is very friendly and helpful. Pace of play was about as bad as anywhere I’ve ever played.. waited to hit every shot on 15 or 16 if the 18 holes…
Very welcoming
The staff and starter are extremely welcoming and friendly. Great course with memorable holes.
