Friendly staff great value for the money
Very noise being very very close to the airport course needs lots of work 18th home a mess
Andrew P
Not bad for the money. Our foursome played 3 days after heavy rain so a few fairways were slushy and 2 holes needs attention on the fairways but green were in great shape. U tee of mats on most holes but overall fun course. There’s a bar inside the Chinese restaurant that serves wings and fried dumplings which were pretty good along with some cold beer. No cart girls here but you can crab a cold one at the turn. Played 3 time in the last month and will be back. We walked all 3 times which is not bad at all.friendly staff and the driving range is pretty cool!
Interesting, sort of.
If you are the type of person that enjoys parking at the end of a major airport runway to watch planes take off, you will love it (especially the back 9). Located directly adjacent to John Wayne Int’l, it is non-stop action but for the “hot Deal” price of $10, its worth it - overnite rain didn’t help and the fairways a little rough but the greens were in fine shape and challenging. It’s the first time I’ve ever had to cross at a pedestrian cross-walk to play a golf course - that and the tunnel to the back nine made for a longer track than you would expect on a par 59.
Hello, and thank you for reviewing our course, Newport Beach Golf Course. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are sorry to hear that there was miscommunication about the course and our layout and location. We hope that you still had an enjoyable round and that we will see you again in the future.
Nice little course
Nice little exec course for the money. You hit mostly off of mats on tee boxes too pretty good conditioned greens. Staff is friendly and practice range is ok too. Love the air traffic that flies directly overhead. Great value for money,will return.
Executive Par 4
Forgot this was an executive Par 4 course. Very nice greens, needs cart paths, better course directions (hole to hole). Some fairways lacking grass but overall: good course management. Great place to work on your short game!
Great for practice
took my wife there, had a great time, we got discount on the round, otherwise maybe wouldnt have gone. not bad course for a quick round and some practice for beginners.
Best Bang for the Buck
First timer playing NB. Kind of interesting hitting off mats, but other then teeing off course was fine. You get what u pay for, so don’t expect Monarch Beach. But $10 for 18 holes is to good to pass up. Fairways are ok and greens are good, just stay on the fairways and u’ll be hitting off grass, not dirt.
Great greens!
You hit from mats on the tee box out to average fairways to excellent greens. I met up with two other guys on the back nine. One guy( 76yrs.old) was walking and carrying his bag. I was walking with cart. Easily done in three hours. Good company and a beautiful day!
Great course!!!
I love playing here ,no wait you get on the course fast. This golf course is in good condition , I must play golf course. Also , this is a great short and mid game course
Pace of play was so slow that I left after playing 13 holes. Foursome ahead was two holes behind and no marshal to keep the pace going. This round would have been 5-51/2 hours. Not worth the wait.
Fun course
Played here for the first time with a buddy and we had a great time. We are both beginners so didn't expect much but course was fun. It was not to challenging so that was a plus. If you can hit a straight tee shot you will be golden here
For the price of a bucket of range balls
I had a great time. The informality of the place caught me off guard but in some ways was actually relaxing. I’m okay hitting off of mats when it’s practically free! Had I played here before I would have not rented a cart, would have taken a Sunday bag with maybe my wedges, an 8 and a 3 iron. The fairways are not exactly lush but the greens were in better condition than on some of the fancier courses I’ve played. Can’t address the extras, except to express my awe at the amount of stuff in the golf shop. It looked like one of the superstores packed into a walkin closet.
One of the best places to hone your short game skills. Carry few clubs with you and practice your short game is what this course is all about.
4 hours and 5 minutes watching the Bro’s Drink
Low review mainly due to pace of play. 10 minute waits for short par 3’s and three party stack-ups. They have tournaments on the weekends so be sure to ask, as it will create a very difficult round as you will get stale waiting for a short hole. We were behind a rowdy group that got into a couple arguments with an unrelated additional rowdy group—both fivesomes. The staff are nice and there have been improvements but bring patience.
Great Course for the money
Course is in nice shape. They have made some improvements. Greens are excellent.
Great course for beginners
This is my first time playing at this course. The staff is fine however the course appeared to be a bit old and run down. It took a few holes to get used to teeing off from mats. Although most driving ranges Offer mats. Overall the course was a bit run down and definitely need some work. There were no par fives and a handful of par fours. I feel it would be a great course for beginners.
Great place
Great place. Never had to wait at the box. Restaurant and small bar was closed so you need to bring your own. There was a sign that a restaurant was opening soon so that might fix that problem.
Good value and exercise if you walk
Fun course with several par 4 holes to use your driver. Restaurant was closed but e new one is opening soon. Nice driving range. Poor website. No membership specials as stated on web site.
Nice little Course
This is a nice little course with very few par 4s. The pro shop is top notch, The restaurant was under renovation. You have to cross the street in your cart at the light-no tunnel under the road. Has a nice driving range and large putting green.
