Newlands Golf and Country Club

Booked our tee-time as a GolfNow hotdeal, so was very reasonable. The bonus was the weather was nice plus the course was in quite decent condition for early in the season.

Course in very good shape, greens as fast as ever,good pace and well priced including cart. Difficult finishing holes .

I was told the greens had been aerated two weeks ago, but they were still extremely bumpy. The fairways and rough were patchy, but the bunkers had plenty of nice sand (although folks often seemed to leave them unraked).

This is the kind of course that doesn't really fit in the spot it's in. There are several odd sharp doglegs with tall trees off the tee blocking you from cutting the corner, so hybrid/short iron is often the play. Several holes require you to hit past a corner, but too much farther and you're in the trees, so distance control on the tee shots is important. Some players may be tempted to hit extreme hooks or slices into blind landing areas, but that's quite a risk. Play the course how it's meant to be played and it's pretty fun -- there are a few longer holes, and the greens have interesting contours.

The folks I met there were friendly, but players hitting into trees and searching for balls made the round a bit longer than average. There are also several spots where people are teeing off near paths to other holes, so keep your eyes peeled to avoid being a target!

The course is fairly pretty, but has houses along some fairways. I spotted a bald eagle near its nest, which was nice.

First really nice day this year to play golf. Was very busy for a Monday. The pace was very slow. Almost five hours to play. The greens were recently punched. It was still a nice day to play golf. $20 to walk on Golf Now. You can play for $25 including a cart through pro shop. Not a great deal on Golf Now.

Great weather - wish I had of known that the greens were punched... Oh well - was very nice anyways.

The good: the course was much dryer than I expected given all the precip we've had over the past month.

The bad: they were in the process of aerating and it felt like they were following me around.

target golf at its best,bumpy greens after frost (Feb. !!!) Beautiful sunny day

greens were in great shape (nobody playing), great maintenance crew , had a whole in one on the 8th hole so all was right ...no tolls on bridge whoooo

I was so excited to play a round on a beautiful fall day. Golf on the last day of October in weather where my playing partners were in shorts. However, the pace of play at this modest course was the worst I have experienced in many years! It took us over 4 hours and 45 mins to play 16 holes at which time I left because I was not going to finish 18 before it got dark and trick or treaters would be at my doorstep. My playing partners who are frequent golfers quit after 10 holes because all the waiting on every shot and every tee box! It took us 40 mins to play the first 2 holes - a par 5 and par 3! Never again. No course marshal - no help or assistance for those out on the course. They need to seriously up their customer service before I will spend my hard earned money playing this course.

Great day to play golf. If I only could have hit the ball better. The course was in good shape with fast greens.Good playing pace.

26$ and carts are only 11$ more. Better condition than NorthView (Not by much...)

Enjoy!

good value course for the weekend warrior! Watch out for too much rain though - this track gets really muddy quickly. Decent layout, some quirky holes. I like it - I hope you do too.

Considering all the rain we had the day before and the morning of play, the course was actually in good shape except for #16. The greens still showed the effects of punching and were a little spongy but very playable, nonetheless.

Not my favorite course but still a great value thanks to GolfNow.

Fun course for Beginners and newer golfers. Course maintenance needs to improve to attract most golfers. Fairways are very dry and green grass is patchy in many areas. Greens need to be cut somewhat raggy. Some awkward holes for 1st time golfers so follow the card but better to play with someone that knows the course.

Many better choices within 10-20 minute drive.

There were way too many groups that were way too close together. The first 9 holes took 3 hours.

There was way too much beer being served. There were people driving carts all over the place. One clown drove right across the geeen we were playing into because he wanted room to get his speed up before attempting to jump his cart off of a tee box.

There were no marshalls anywhere.

Total gong show.

Everything is good except the ground is quite hard.

Drunk kids in groups of 6 and 7 Golf balls laying all over the place. No Marshal to keep an eye on the kids. A couple of injuries. Greens need a lot of work. Ball hooping on puts

Second time playing this track, quite short at 6100+ but a nice example of mid 1900's golf course design. Some interesting and fun holes and shortish par 5s that yield some birdie and eagle chances. Greens were surprisingly nice with some subtle breaks and interesting pin placements although a tad bit on the slowish side. It's been a long ,hot and dry summer and the fairways reflected this with entirety too many solid fairways hit rewarded with brown tight or completely bare lies but hey, what'ya expect fer $50 on Saturday morning in August. Huh ?? Overall good value for the money... I had fun
