Stonebridge at Newport

Nice course. Challenging but fair. Par 3 are kind of similar with front bunkers. Great course. Very friendly staff. It’s good for all levels

Played on 12-28-22. This course is one of my favorite places to play & I usually play here every 2 weeks. Good layout, carts are clean/run well & the pro shop staff are always friendly. Water stations are a nice plus & the prices are usually reasonable.

Negatives- Greens are over watered & it makes walking/putting very difficult! Some of the fairways suffer from the same issue. (It was Not rain related) I’ve seen sprinklers going well after sunrise & while players are trying to play. Would timers on the sprinkler system (for early soaking) be possible? Apparently no player was turned away yesterday & we waited for the log jam to clear on every hole. Looks like they overbooked.

Too many issues to review. Should cost less for this course in the condition it’s in.

Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Not too crowded which translates to excellent pace for beginner golfers. Average difficulty and few water hazards. Greens are decent, some t-boxes don’t have much grass. Overall, great course to play anytime except after a rainy day; water stays longer on surface which appears to be due to a already humid soil. I recommend this golf course.

I really enjoy the layout & pace of this course, but the watering at early morning is annoying. The greens are standing water or sloppy at best. I don’t understand why sprinkler timers coming on before daylight can’t be instituted at this course. If you watered around 3-4am, wouldn’t it soak in a little before 7am tee times? Am I the only player that hates wading water unnecessarily on the greens? Cart paths need some fill in. Carts were in good shape. Pro shop Purvis is always friendly!

Overall the course is in great shape. Tough to find balls this time of year with all of the leaves. The layout is fun to play.

This is not an elite course this it is priced fairly. Overall we enjoy it. Great place to take someone who is new etc. Looks like they are really having a problem with wild pigs. They make a mess.

The one complaint I have that hopefully could be addressed is the high school team Was practicing and acted like they opened the place. Looks like they could wave regular players through.

Watering course while players are out is not good customer service. Could this be done before course opens for play? Perhaps.

Hog damage is coming back again. Might be time to reduce the herd.

Despite these minor inconsistencies, this course is fun to play. Pro shop worker Mike is always friendly.

Overall rating is poor because of the greens. It was about a year ago I last played the course. There were greens that had some nutsedge/weeds in the greens but they rolled pretty good. Currenly, the greens especially on the front nine were the worst I have played in many years, the back nine greens are only slightly better - they appeared to be aerated and not rolled (a friend that played a month ago said they were the same, so not recently aerated). Very bumpy and did not roll true at all, some tee boxes were weeds and dirt others were OK. Fringe around some of the greens were crabgrass and other weeds. I was very disappointed, I really like the layout and the course had been in good shape last year. The sand traps are really good, fairways are fair/good, rough has a lot of weeds. Staff is really nice, pace of play was excellent and the price is very good WHEN the course is in good shape. I don't recommend the course until the greens improve (I don't understand why they were not rolled)
