Stonebridge at Newport

This course is a disgrace to the game of golf. The staff is very uninviting and very unprofessional. The cart girl was attired in torn cut off blue jeans with a dirty tshirt. Next comes the ammenities. The bathrooms were very unkept, while the water coolers on the course were either missing from the holder, empty, or had mildew growing on the spout of the room tempature water cooler. Next, the course is in horrible condition. The greens have large patches of dead grass and brown dirt on the surface. The fairways are like rocks with all sorts of tree limbs, ant hills, and actual tire tracks. Sand bunkers should be called cement bunkers, I highly advise anyone from hitting out of them unless you are using a tin can attached to a broom stick as a golf club. The driving range is a joke. The distance signs are a mixture of cardboard and plywood with spraypainted numbers on them. The range balls would be better if there were walnuts. Seriously lacking and a shame of waisted space and talent that this course has if it was well managed and maintained. Last, the pace of play is miserable. They allow groups of 15 or 20 go off at a time so you will wait between 15-30 minutes before each hole to tee off. For the money you will spend at this course it should be cut into a third. You might as well play puttputt at a local arcade or go right down the road to Redwolf and play a much better course.

The course had a good layout with small greens that required a good shot to stay on. Pin placements were in good locations to tempt you but it was better to just aim for the center of the greens. Several fairways are losing grass with the dry conditions but the staff was working to keep the greens watered.

The driving range had a good tee area but the range was just a field to hit into (no targets, etc.).

All in all, the course was fun, the staff was working to bring the course back to better condition, and if weather helps with water it could be a great place to play.

Overall the course was Okay. The greens do need some help as some of the greens were black. I know that it has been very hot summer so far but, a couple of greens in horrible shape and some were in good shape as well. Not bad for $20 and close to home.

I had a fun round. The fairways have a real crabgrass/weed problem-needs weed killer and water. The greens were not in the best of shape, bare patches and bumpy. I really like the layout but more work is needed, I checked the would not recommend to a friend because I wouldn't right now. With some work, this would be a really nice golf course. 9 and 18 are good holes.

Played early in the morning Memorial Day. Course was packed but the rate of play wasn't bad at all. It's a fun course, not too challenging. Good value for the money.

The pace of play was really great as I was able to play right at 3 and a half hours. The front desk person was not very cordial as the cart girl but that did not spoil the experience I had at this course.

Good course with good value for money. Very small bald patches on fairways that need attention but I have seen that almost everywhere. Would definitely return.

Great course!! The course is well maintain!!!!!!!!

Fairways were in better putting shape than the greens

We had a lot of fun playing this course. We had a foursome and not many players out there so we paced ourselves.This course has a nice layout. The sand bunkers need some attention.

Good golf for the money! Greens are not pristine on some hole but overall are good quality.

This course was in good shape and fun to play. There is no food other than snacks, candy, ect. I like a sandwich or burger at the turn.

This course always moves at a great pace. On Friday with a crowd we played in 4 hours

Staff was super, We were off at the exact time and the pace of play was great. I found the tee boxes, fairways, sand traps to
be great. The greens were ready to bereseeded for the summer but were very puttable. Gas Carts were in great
condition. I will be back and look forward to playing this
course many times this summer.

Lots of down trees (old rotten ones) still laying along the fairways. Fairways didn't appear to be watered or cared for other than mowing. Greens were in poor shape. A few were okay, but most had bald spots or some other type of blemishes. Just another old course that slowly dying. Sad to see because in it's hayday (20 years ago), it was highly thought of. A short course but the layout/design is interesting. Surrounded by an old neighborhood that is suffering the same fate. I just started learning this game, but I know enough to tell this course is dire need of a large cash infusion. I suppose for the low greens fees it's fine for a local like me to learn on.

This is a fun, placement type course. The greens are good. Need a little care, but for winter conditions, very playable. Nice sand in traps....unfortunately, I experienced that on several holes. Great value.

The course was quiet , well maintained and the carts were hot and ready to go. I had a great reflective round of golf the I very much enjoyed. Can't wait till Spring.

I usually played evergreen. But now that I found this course for the price is way better. Play here twice a week well worth the 17 dollars I pay.

Looks better and better each time we play. Greens are trying to come back from some serious burns. Fairways are full of leaves, and hard to keep up with even center tee shots, but are well defined from the rough. Tee boxes are in good shape.
The staff is the friendliest you will find around.

I was playing on my own and although I got held up by a twosome for 4 holes I still finished in about 3 hours. The course is suffering a little through the winter. It is a tight course to play making it challenging. The greens really need some work in some places, looks as though they have been vandalized and are bear in a few places. However I would play there again although the ground staff I encountered on the driving range are a little young and abrupt.
