Undergoing renovations

(Played back 9 only) Be aware that the course is undergoing renovations so holes 11, 15, and 18 have large sections of dirt. As long as you aren’t short, it won’t be a problem. Greens are in great shape, other than the occasional ball marks left from golfers who don’t repair them.

Staff is awesome, course is solid value

Course is solid value. It’s like playing golf in a park, but the greens are pure for the money you’re paying. Staff and restaurant are awesome and a big part of why I keep going back.

Do better

For Newport you really think this course would be better. Rude and unfriendly staff. All tee shots are off worn and wonky mats with most holes being less than 100 yards. It was tolerable until a terrible experience with the staff. Not coming back.

Good deal for the Money

The course is well used and most tees you hit off a mat. I am a relatively new player and that is fine with me. Decent driving range, nice little snack bar and the bar is now open. Here are my only complaints.

The back 9 needs some work back there. Lots of dirt bare areas with no watering going on.

I would like to see the mats removed in the spring.

No matter, I believe this golf course i still a good deal and will continue to golf here.

Newport Beach,Ca.

Extremely disappointed. There is really no choice but to hit off mats. The cart paths were in disrepair. To go from hole 2 to hole 3 you had to cross over a busy roadway. Please make sure your insurance premiums are paid and up to date..It is a very dangerous crossing.If you want to try this facility use the driving range only. You would be better off at miniature golf.

Enjoyable & Fun

This can be a fun course if pace of play is not so slow and grass start to grow. More dirt than turf. Most tee boxes are artificial turf. Close location to beach to get cool breeze throughout the round makes this course fun to play when weather is hot in inland Orange County.

Cheated

GOLFNOW advertisement describes an 18 hole executive course. No where is it stated this HOT DEAL is for nine holes. After paying and receiving the confirming email, it is finally mentioned this is for nine holes. I'm writing now because the same listing is available for NEWPORT BEACH at 2:10 PM.

Please correct this misleading and false advertisement immediately.

Fun little short course

Good value for the money. Pace of play was a challenge. Had an extended wait at every hole. I believe it took about 2.5 hours for 9 holes, this course could’ve been done in 1.5. Definitely go on a weekday if you can as I imagine it would be much faster which would make the course very fun.
