Stonebridge at Newport

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.

This is a fun course to play usually with nice green speed and condition. Unfortunately it appears due to lack of play other areas of the course maintenance has suffered. Bunkers has decent sand just need to be raked. but for $10 plus tax and booking fee it was fun and challenging.

I feel like I was tricked! When I booked my tee time on golfNow was pretty excited to play this course because the pictures on their website we're of this beautifully manicured golf course! As I started driving through the neighborhood leading up to the golf course I was thinking to myself man this is going to be a really nice golf course look at these really nice houses! NOPE, I was WRONG! the parking lot looks like it had been abandoned, there were weeds growing out of cracks in the road, dead grass everywhere and the driving range was terrible! Get this when I bought a bucket of balls they handed me a plastic take out bag you would get from a restaurant full of dirty old golf balls! I could really go on and on but just trust me when I say get a tee time somewhere else don't even bother! Not worth the drive!!

enjoyed the course very much, great price and nice course for the money,not crowded at all

First time playing this course. The bunkers really need some work. The greens need work but was not real bad. This was a nice and challenging course that really makes you think about club selection. I enjoyed the course and would definitely recommend it to others and I would play it again.

the fairways in great shape the greens are OK and the bunkers are terrible.. grass and rocks. Don't attempt

The greens are looking better. Wished the sand traps were raked and prepared. The second cut just outside the fairways are a haven for losing your ball after a good shot. That would be my only major complaint. Oh recommend wearing some mosquito repellant because a few holes have them bad.

We played the Tuesday after Labor Day. The course was in terrible shape. The greens had not been touched (we played at 9 AM). Dew was heavy, worm droppings all over, and the greens had not been mowed in a few days - not only were they slow but the ball bounced all over the place and the holes hadn't been moved in days. The area had gotten rain on Sunday. The traps hadn't been raked in quite a while weeds were growing in them. They were mowing the rough and fairways when the greens needed it the most. Thankfully a storm blew in with lightning and we quickly quit after 4 holes, which we were going to do after nine because of the conditions. Even at a low price this was not worth it. I don't plan on playing it again.

Was pretty fun and you can't beat it for the price.

Was very surprise how nice course was,after reading a couple of the reviews.I don't no what course they where playing but it wasn't the one I played.

I enjoy playing courses that make you think about club selection off the tee, this course does that. Lots of doglegs with well placed bunkering. Bunkers however weren't in good condition. That is my only complaint. Greens were smooth but a little slow probably a 9 on stimp. If your used to playing modern push the dirt courses and want to play a course that was designed with shot shaping in mind go here. Look past the condition and enjoy the challenge

it was my first time playing at this course and I have to say, not bad, not bad at all.. i will definitely play here again..

This is a tight course that requires accuracy off the tee to insure an opening to the green on the par 4's.

Balls in the rough can be hard to find.

Sand traps are not well maintained.

I read several other reviews prior to booking a round here that said the course was in the best condition in years. I couldn't imagine it any worse. I could tell that in some point in its history it was a beautiful place , now it just suffers from the signs of neglect. From the patches of missing grass on several greens , to the lack of sand in the bunkers and even a pile of old dumped furniture behind the fourth tee are signs that no one there really cares. I wouldn't play there again even if it were free.

Need to have cold water in the coolers and filled!

Great shape- fun.

Everyone needs to try this course.

The course was in great shape and was a great value for the price

Course in generally good condition, with greens surprisingly good and improving.

If you like to use all the clubs in your bag, this is a good course to play, with plenty of doglegs and distance variations.

Two in our foursome had never played Newport and were very happy. We will return again.
