Newcastle Golf Course

This was my first time playing Newcastle Golf Club. I chose to come play on Canada Day with my nephew and his stepdad who have played here so many times in the past.

This golf course is very tree-lined and accuracy off the tee is an absolute must! The fairways are reasonably wide open, however the par 4's and 5's are very long. We played off the white tees and I underestimated how long they were.

Now, it was a very hot day and I mean extremely hot! However, it plays true and fair and you do have to hit driver accurately off the tee. Even though the fairways are wide and open, you MUST hit them because the first and second cuts of rough grass is thick and punishing. There is a lot of undulation and if you hit parts of the fairway in an awkward spot, you will pay dearly when the golf ball rolls into the rough.

The greens were the star of the course. They were beautifully manicured, cut well and rolled near perfect. I've never seen such spectacular greens where putting is honest and clean.

All in all, a really good golf course that is visually open, yet very tough to score on. I would like to come back and try it again, maybe in the Fall.

Thank you for having us.

I booked a 240 tee time online. Got there and apparently at 515pm a shotgun start league was booked. The course had apparently called golfnow to for them to correct the listing 3 wks in a row but nobody there updated the info. This has happened a few times now and it will likely happen again next week to someone else. Maybe rest of summer? Sadly his is kinda what we ve come to expect given we run everything thru the supposed, digital, 'better way'. So we compromised. I suggested I would pay for 9 and play until 515. So worked out. Staff very courteous.

The second cut is way too long at about 3”. You cannot see your ball or strike it!

Sneaky tough course. Front nine is a tough course to walk ., but back is much flatter.. highly recommend walking this course.

Will definitely play again and recommend to friends and family.

The course has a nice layout and is in good condition. Only hit one sand trap, but it was pretty firm and there was no rake in sight. All the employees at the club are very friendly and really appreciate your business. The club house needs some work and the patio wasn't in very good condition, but we were there to golf not have a banquet. There was no cart girl so was disappointed that we couldn't get a beer while on the course.

This course has come a long way. Beautiful greens and clean fairways. Will return again and again

For the weather conditions that we have had over this past summer where most see everything is Brown because of lack of water This year this course is beautifully well kept and where most other courses have so much brown patches on their fairways.

Course is in great shape. Pace of play was a little slow, but not terrible. Great value / good walking course.
