Stonebridge at Newport

WOW what a difference a year makes. I played this course last year and it was all dirt. I read the reviews on Golfnow and decided based on the $20 price tag I would give it another go. The course is night and day better. There are about 4-5 greens that have some bad patches but none that are unplayable. The fairways are almost full with a few bad patches off to the side. I played in the rain so there were only a few people so the pace of play was fast. I am worried that based on the price this course will not be able to maintain this condition through the heat of the summer. Go play this course before it gets to hot.

My second time within a month. Friendly staff, great grounds keepers. I have been playing for about 2 months now and this course is forgiving to a starter. Pace of play was excellent. A great course for 1-4 players to enjoy a great time.

Tight golf course.
Bring and use all your clubs. Great doglegs, keep the driver in the bag, for better scores.

course was in good shape however there were 2 holes number 9 in particular that the greens need some work. will go back can't beat it for the price.

Newport has struggled with descent putting surfaces in the recent past but is currently bouncing back with a vengeance. All but one (#4) are rolling very nice. The fairways are holding good coverage except a few areas which are prone to hold water after a rain event. The club house is basically a shell of a great club from years past but does offer drinks and a short order menu for a quick bite yet nothing to get excited about. If Newport would focus on lowering the cut height on all tee boxes (tall cut represents medium rough on the tees) and replacing the drainage in a few bunkers and replace the sand in every bunker ( all bunkers are dominated by small to actually medium sized stones which are no friend to a clubs leading edge) Newport would surpass the condition of the majority of other area courses. All in all a great bang for your buck.

The last time I played Newport was late fall and the course was a disaster. I was pleasantly surprised by the improvement in the course conditions. A few greens still needed some help, there were bare patches but they had been fertilized and should improve. The greatest improvement was the fairways, very few bare patches. The greens were much faster than they looked. We paid $16 to play, for $16 don't expect perfect conditions. It is a fun course and a decent layout and is improving. I will play it again soon. We played in less than 3 hours. This would be an excellent course for beginners, who should roll the ball everywhere.

This wooded course has average length and difficulty. Accurate drives are required with numerous "doglegs" on the back. Six of the greens are in poor condition and all the bunkers need raking. The putting green, and driving range are in poor shape and the facilities are in fair shape. The course layout is interesting. It is worth the occasional lengthy drive to Crosby if you can get a discount but isn't worth regular prices.

Played this (county-ish) course for the first time with one of my brothers in Christ today (royalty). Good course in surprisingly good condition considering the recent reviews. Greens still in fair+ shape. Bunkers need a little TLC from players after their shots but not bad. I booked online from GolfNow and played for only $20 pp! I will definitely play here again, oh did I mention that I drove 3 hrs one way to give this course a look see... worth every minute and every stroke! Only negative, no logo golf ball for my collection. :( Come play this course, you'll enjoy it.

I liked the course. The fairways and greens were not perfect but overall it was fine. I got stuck, as a single, behind a couple of fivesomes that eventually let me play through. As is common with many residential courses, there were lots of doglegs.

liked the layout and price but tee boxes were in bad shape and not cut at all. the bunkers were in great shape.

greens were rough and some tees were not even mowed, but enjoyed a great time on a great day with a great friend.

Decent course but $38 is too much for a course who gives you your range balls in a Walmart bag and used 5 gal buckets for trash cans. Tee boxes not mowed and full of weeds.

For what they charge the course and the greens need work. Played out there 3 Different time. Slow play greens in bad shape will not be returning to Newport.

2nd time playing this course. Got a great deal, $20/person. Play the tips and it'll be the longest 6800 you've played in a while. Gotta hit it straight off the tee and just bump em everywhere, even bunkers. 1st time players, definitely refer to course map and yardages to hit right stick off the box!

The greens was ok but the fairways needs more maintance the bunkers as well, aver all is in good conditions hole 18 is beautiful.

The course was about as I expected for the winter we had but the grrens could have been better wuth the sun and warm weather we had lately

Good friendly people settled in a nice neighborhood.

First time at Newport and had some mild hopes of a good experience.

Pace of play is fine. Played the white tees, as 6,500 yrds is what I usually play. Pretty tight fairways over all so make sure your driver is working or use another club to keep it in play. The forest off the fairways are unforgiving.

The condition of the fairways and traps was the biggest disappointment - plenty of clover and weeds in the fairway, and the traps were all hard packed. Greens were in so-so condition, but so are a lot this time of year.

Having said that, the layout can be challenging. I like the design. Water only on two holes, but the tight fairways and a lot of traps make you think about your course management on most shots.

I will go back because I got a great weekday deal through Golfnow, but would not pay rack rate at this point.

This was my first time playing at Newport Country Club. Overall, this is a beautiful course. Only problems we had here that it was after a day of rain, so there were a few wet spots here and there on the course, and for some reason, it looked like the greens had been burned or something. hardly any grass on them, and there were a few that had very large divots. We tried to repair a few, but some were just so bad, we couldn't do anything about it. In the spring time, I bet this is a gorgeous course, with all the trees surrounding it.

Great value greens in good shape fairways could use some fertilizer however for the price paid im happy
