Newlands Golf and Country Club

Newlands is a wonderfully designed course, that offers a lot of variety in the manner that you approach the various holes. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The problem with our round in October, was that they had just punched the greens... and while I get that course maintenance is necessary, boy did this ever make them inconsistent and slow. The ball regularly would jump all over the place as it's rolling along the green. Also... for whatever reason, the pace was so slow, with no marshalling on the course to keep things moving. We picked up an extra player along the way and went around with 5 golfers, and were still waiting on every hole for the group of two, who by the 3rd or 4th hole joined another group of 2, for a foursome, that were in front of us. I don't know what (or if) was happening in front of the, but the round took 5 hours, when it usually takes 4... and this is with power carts all around.
For the price, it was worth it... just don't go mid day (when the sun is out) and expect to be done in 4 hours.

Although the greens had just been punched the golf course is pretty nice! Extremely challenging holes and since we have never played there made it more challenging. Pretty tight course so you have to be accuate. The signage was great especially if you didn't know where you were going. Course well maintained will very pleasant grounds keepers.

Played here 20 years ago ,condition much better then. To be fair it's been a dry summer .we got this tee time on golf now for 19$ great value at that price. Wouldn't take much to bring it back to good condition but does need some work

This course has great potential with some very scenic holes but i was disappointed that we had to play behind a group of juniors and their coach which resulted in us having to wait for long periods at far too many holes. There should be a policy review for these situations as I'm sure the majority of Newland's customers would be very annoyed with this situation. There was lots of debris from a recent (week ago) wind storm that could have been cleaned up better. Poor signage on a few holes created confusion In finding the next hole.

The greens were very well maintained and some are challenging, the fairways were not in the greatest shape because of the drought but very wide which makes for lower score

This is not a put down on the course but on the golfers. So many courses I have played this year have so many unrepaired ball marks on the greens. Courses need to re-address this issue with the golfers using their facilities.

This is my first round playing the course and I was both impressed and put off. I've worked as a maintenance crew member on high profile courses for a few years, so my opinion of courses is largely based on the grounds conditioning itself, which Newlands played fantastically and was surprisingly green despite the heat we've had lately. Fantastic course in that sense. I was put off by the crampedness of the course and how little the cart for food /beverage went around. I constantly felt like my shots were going to hit people on the next hole over because everything was spaced very close together. For most of the round I was waiting for the cart girl to come by so I could get some Gatorade and beer, but she didn't come by and when we were driving to 10 she was closing up her snackbar stand. I would definitely play the course again, but some small things could be improved.

Grat course to bring friends. Friendly and not too hard
for occasional golfers. Great value and good conditioned greens and fairways and 1/2 priced appys
after the round with huge portions. Only complaint
would be the type sand in the traps is difficult to get
out of

Best bang for your buck. Golf now is the place to book, we paid $22 each plus $5 for the power cart. What a deal!!

have played many times and this is the first time the pace was very slow. Almost a 5 hour round.
Greens were in good shape. Few dry patches in the fairway so we roll the ball to grass on the dry patches in the fairway.
Is a tough walk on a hot day.

Absolutely I want to recommend this golf coutse
because it is a resonable green fee considering course condition

although an older course it was very challenging for myself. Excellent staff and facilities for the nineteenth hole.

In winter season the course was so wet that some holes including #17 forced us wading through mud. However on Apr 17, which was my first golf this year, I could play on a wholly course: normal well-kept greens and fairways, short trimmed sides of fairways, well grown trees which make course playing more challenging. Paired up co-players were nice players as well. I will play again.

Very good value for the money as green fees include cart. Pace of play 4.5 hrs with usual hold up on par 3's at 2 and 12.

Newlands is a very old course that presents itself well. Winter golf here is quite good and very affordable. I would recommend it to anyone. Currently the course has some bare tee boxes, some mucky fairways and the greens are a bit rough. However the course has been neatly trimmed up and maintained and is very playable. Don't expect much better elsewhere - especially in February!

Course was wet, muddy, and overall in very poor condition. Many of the fairways had little to no grass. If you don't mind any of that, the $25 rates are good value. Otherwise, lots of other courses in much better condition, are available.

The pace of play was very good. We enjoyed our game there.

Winter has definitely arrived which around here means lots of rain and wet grounds. As far as Newlands is concerned the course is OK when you are playing the holes that are not down at the bottom Those holes are barely playable and if you are going to walk I would definitely wear your mudders. I wish I had. Having said that the greens were a little slow but in good shape.

Book weekly rounds at the course all with a cart included. Staff have all been great to this point but will have to look at other courses in the future. The course was empty when i arrived for my round and upon check in the starter Jay stated that they no longer provide carts and i would have to walk. I tried to explain that i booked online two weeks prior and it clearly included a cart when i booked and that i had not brought my cart for that reason. He basically called me a liar and argued with me at length.

The winter months are when many Courses struggle to remain profitable and with thirty carts sitting in line unused and the course empty the starter should have used better sense than alienating someone who has supported them on a regular basis and now will take those funds elsewhere.

The course was wet but playable. The online rates do not include a golf cart now. Still good value for a round of golf. For the amount of rain we have received the fairways and greens are well maintained.
