Stonebridge at Newport

I've played this course multiple times over the last year. The new management is really bringing it up to speed: new carts, the food court/bar is open way more often; the tee boxes are taken care of; regular beer cart; fairways are being taken care of; greens are getting better.

This is a well laid out course with plenty of difficult holes if your playing from the tips. The green conditions are average to sub par for the Houston climate, but they make up for it with hole layout and elevated greens and a lot a risk, reward scenarios.

The course and facilities are staring to look really nice. Still needs bunker work. Keep up the good work.

New management is doing alot of work on the facilities and the course. The driving range has been redone and the tee boxes. Still need to fix the bunkers and the greens are not there yet.

Golf course is going through changes of ownership. Staff said they are looking forward to change, as they are being bought by the Home Owners Association.
Course was in good condition, staff was friendly. Took my 3-sons and we had a great round.

I would have liked to have been informed that the greens had been aerated and sanded and that one had a temporary; however that work was the one positive sign. The rest of the course seems to be neglected, bunkers not raked and will weeds, fairway and rough needing work. I like this course and hope the subdivision brings it back from the brink.

The greens are in poor shape. There many bare sections on quite a few of the greens. The fairway is fine. The management needs to get their act together or many people may not want to play here no matter the cost to play.

This could be a beautiful course but unfortunately it needs a lot of care. The greens are the worst I've played in years.

Haven't been out there in a while and was surprised at the shape it was in. Weeds and grass growing in the bunkers. Greens have clumps of another kind of grass growing in them. Like putting through clumps of broccoli. Some greens have large dead and bare spots. Got a discounted rate and still not worth it. High point was seeing a coyote on #2 fairway and a bobcat and 2 baby bobcats.on #5 fairway. Not going back anytime soon.

Even after a heavy flood season the course was in descent shape. Met some nice friendly people on the course. Cart girl was around three times during the round. Which was nice on that 95 degree day. Food at the nineteenth hole is great. New cook is energetic about what she is cooking and it shows in the quality. I wish I lived closer so I could enjoy this golf club more.

I played the course on July 4th with some friends and realize you get what you ay for. I had not played the course in a couple of years but thought I would give it another chance on a last minute request of a friend to play on Saturday July 4th. Price was great so we tried to give them anotehr chance. Worst conditioned course I have ever played on. Greens were terrible. Fairway and tee boxes were not mowed. Anything 5 feet out of the fairway was in 8" of grass and mud. Bunkers were unplayable and had little to no sand in them. Just really bad conditions. Surprising since the neighborhood is seeing some signs of expansion and build up but the course needs a lot of work.

The course is clean and maintained. The course does not drain water too well after a rain. It is a great place to go that is close to home.

Needs up grades. Greens have holes and pitted dirt spots. The grill was closed. Only chips and candy available.

Great track with a ton of potential but course conditions are borderline acceptable. There is some standing water on most holes though rain has been light over the past week. ALL bunkers are unplayable as sand bunkers, i.e. wet and compact, weeds prevalent up to over a foot tall in some, zero bunker maintenance. The fairways are mowed but not the rough areas nor many of the tea boxes. Could be a great golf course but it is currently in a state of deterioration. Such a shame but, it is obviously a high maintenance design.

Fairways were a little wet and muddy, greens were very good for winter. Cold and windy but had a great time.
Good golf value.

Definitely needs some help with grounds keeping - huge bad spots on most greens, rough cart paths, and not one of the bunkers/traps resemble sand. Concrete would be a better representation. That said, I still play it because its more challenging than the other local courses - even with its current faults. GolfNow keeps the green fees reasonable. Worth your time if you're in the area.

Course needs a tremenfous amount of work. Green have no grass and the fairwayd were pathetic. Th restaurant had its liiquor license suspended.

Golf even for the common man holds a certain standard. This course needs to be shut down right now. First of all, there were very unacceptable drawings in the men's restroom of both male and female body parts. This is not something you would want to explain to your child. You would think that the course would care about their image sense they are the center piece of the neighborhood. I refused to even participate on this course after my clubhouse experience. For any golfer who still sees golf as a tradition carrying yourself to a certain standard, I would ask that you refuse to play this course. For the residents of newport I would ask that you check this out for yourself and make the appropriate changes in your community.

I love the layout at Newport Country Club and I enjoy playing this course. Unfortunately, the course is apparently in severe financial troubles. The bunkers were in miserable condition. They had not been raked by the staff in probably weeks nor by players all day. The bunkers have had so little maintenance that there were weeds growing in them. Not just quick growing weeds but the type of weeds that require some time to grow and spread. I was in a total of 6 bunkers today and not one bunker had been raked by folks that had played out of them the same day I did. The course was still in decent shape. The greens were fairly smooth and still quick for the amount of water they have had recently.

The course was so waterlogged and soggy that, in my opinion, it should have been closed and allowed to drain; if it drains at all. There was standing water in lots of places and very soggy spots everywhere. I appreciated that I could play but I think it is more important that they "save" the course than generate the green fees they did today. If the course drains poorly, they need to do something to dry the course up before they allow players to drive carts everywhere and destroy the course. They did ask us not to drive on the very wet areas but not everyone is concerned about the course. There will always be people that will care little for the state of the course as long as they get to do what they believe they are entitled to do after having paid a green fee.

A same that they felt the need to allow play when the course is so waterlogged and susceptible to damage.

The pace of play was great. The course conditions were very wet. Not sure if they got a lot of rain overnight but there was water in bunkers and in the fairways.
