Newlands Golf and Country Club

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

Newlands is usually a fine course, but with all the drought this year, it's pretty dry and chaffed in lots of places. Hitting off of dead grass or bare, dry dirt is not fun. For the money, it could be better. Great greens though.

Really slow play the last 2 days, taking almost 5 hours for a foursome to get through.

Pace of play way to slow. Took over 5 hours to play a course that should play in 3&1/4 hours. Their teeing groups of 4 off every 71/2 minutes

course is pretty good but pace of game is sooooo slow, and it took more than 5 hours. In front of my team, there were 4 player when they tee off, but just after first hole, they seperate to 2 teams (2 players in each team), and made pace so slow. The Marshal saw that situation but mention nothing about it, eventhough there were so many people is waiting. This is just one example for slow pace, and the marshal did nothing, even there were many actions that he could do. Also some of holes are little bit dangerous, as they have many blind spots on course

This is one of the best value for the money, will play more often. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Good coffee.

You get what you pay for here. Half the tee boxes are destroyed but the other half are in great shape. Some sand hard as concrete others are nice and fluffy. Some very odd hole designs on this course and its a little confusing getting around. On the plus side I enjoyed more than half of the holes on this course. Great weather for the day and the price with cart is the exact value that will keep people coming back.

The layout is reasonable in most cases while some holes are challenging. It may be uneasy for first time players who are not familiar with it. Definitely a golf course for lower handicap.

still early the course was abit wet but it was a good day to play golf

The course was very wet, it had been raining for a couple of weeks....so understandable. It rained on us again but we persevered to the end of 18 holes and weren't completely soaked. I know the course will be much better once it's dried out and the sun is out. I will play there again especially if Golfnow keeps getting that great rate! Thanks.

We have had a ton of rain, but the course was in pretty good shape. Got paired up with some really good guys.
