I live in New Orleans and have played English Turn a number of times. I don't think it is a fair criticism to say that the course favors a high fade (I can't think of a hole I have ever played that wasn't playable with a high fade that is started along the proper line). The shots and approach shots which ask the golfer to attempt to work the ball in both directions (1, 2, 5, 11, 15, are good examples of holes that suggest a drawn tee shot for the right-handed golfer; 17 and 18 both suggest a drawn approach shot). What is important there is the ability to hit the ball high, which is not that much of a challenge for the pro. For the good amateur, the course can be very difficult, since the angle of play is very important for those without world-class ball-striking technique. Take No. 4 for an example of the importance of angles. It is a 335-yard par-4. An approach from the left side (safe) of the fairway yields a direct carry over water from a downslope to a green angled from right to left, with two distinct slopes running from back to front at about a 45 degree angle to the line of play. From the right side of the fairway, the golfer has a better look at the front of the green, but has to contend more with the slopes in the green, which are at about a 70-80 degree angle from the line of play and create distance-management problems for the golfer that aren't present from the left side.
If I had to offer criticism, it woud be the lack of ground-game options (although there are places where this option is present). But in this lush, wet environment here, it isn't parctical to build too much of that into a golf course.
