Stonebridge at Newport

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.

My son and I usually play this course regularly in the summer. I live in Beaumont TX and there isn't a decent course for 60 miles (although there are 7+ courses in the Bmt area, they are all terrible....sad really) so we always play in the Baytown/Houston/Lake Charles LA areas etc a lot. We hadn't played Newport in awhile and tried it in December 2012 and were pleasantly surprised at the condition for winter. Greens were in good shape with winter grass. Fairway grass was dormant but soft enough on most holes, there are a few holes like #9 that the fairways are hard packed all the time but it does have grass on most of it. Most of the sandtraps were wet at the time and packed due to rain. The sand is usually avg to good other times we have played. All in all for winter golf we were happy and will go back again soon.

This is a great value course. The greens are in the best shape I have ever seen them.

This is by far the best course I have ever played. Using the on-line T Time, saved me $140. I can easily state I will go back and I will schedule my T Time the same way.

I don't think I've played a tighter course in Tx. The OB stakes are just off the cart paths due to the homes being on the golf course. You better be a straight shot if you want to go low on this course and the greens were really patched with dead spots on almost every green. Its only worth a hot deal price and when went no one was really playing except for the hot deal tee time.

The greens need attention. There are bare spots you have to putt through

The greens were in bad shape.... There was not one green that was good. They should have given my money back.
The next day I went do the road to Red Wolf Club. This is where I should have went in the first place.

Great value. With Golf Now,this is a great deal.

A good course without too many hazards, mostly just sand traps around the green. Nice staff too.

Numerous times at this course the water jugs were empty, in the summer. The ball cleaners never have towels. The sand is hit and miss. A number of the greens are in poor condition. Also, who gives range balls in plastic grocery bags?

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend it to anyone.
