Newlands Golf and Country Club

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.

We have had a lot of rain in the last few days but the sun came out on wednesday afternoon and the course played surprisingly well.
Playing it cart path only is not bad as they are laid out well. Pace of play was good a little less than 31/2 hrs.

Where else can you play 18 holes with a cart for $20 (special promo) or $25? Book online and save. I play one or two times a week, weather permitting. Cart paths only, winter rules.

The staff is very friendly and helpful and the course is in great condition.

I played 18 with a cart and it only cost me $25!! That is why I recommend this course. The greens were being punched and sanded the day I was there (Lucky me, lol). Oh well, it needs to be done. The greens are smallish, but I like that about this course. The fairways were wide and in decent shape. There were a few blind tee shots that are kinda goofy. Best to join a local for some tee shot tips. The tenth hole starts way out in the middle of the course, so you go past the clubhouse half way thru the 11th hole.
One last thing. The fellow in the pro shop age 40ish did not even look up at me when I walked in the door. I went and stood by the cash till for over a minute before he looked up at me, and he didn't say hello. He said, "can I help you?" I said hi, talked to him, and he stayed guarded for about 2 minutes before he warmed up and became friendly.

From the beginning to end..front desk until the end of the day, it was and always will be one of my favorite courses to play..will always recommend this facility..the on course personnel as well, helpful and show heart..coodos to them as well..

Enjoyed an affordable round of golf on a beautiful day. Was a very enjoyable experience.
