Newport Beach Golf Course

When you read Newport Beach Golf Course you think this is a great price to pay to play in this city. The reality is it is poorly taken care of, construction everywhere, you are crossing major streets in between holes with planes flying over your head. The staff was not overtly friendly or bad but about halfway through I laughed at this ridiculous course. If you could see the beach at some point I would overlook everything else but you are next to a canal, freeway, and apartments. Just not worth it.

I did start right away and I was playing by myself. The overall condition of the course was not too good. There was a lot of construction going on and the planes going overhead bothered me a lot because they were so loud. I think most of the holes were just short par 3s. The noise level on the course bothered me a lot. The fairways were pretty dry with mostly crab grass which is not my favorite grass to hit on.

I always love Newport! Pro Shop Staff is one of a kind! Newport takes GREAT pride in their greens which is why I love playing here. Beautiful driving range. Expensive compared to most courses of similar rating in the area.

Under new ownership this course is much better maintained, fairways and greens are well-kept, and it's an exceptional local value.

Nice place to have fun golfing and exercise walking

I play this course with The Back 9 foundation. As a recovering addict I like to play golf and this course along with the Back 9 foundation allow me a healthy outlet for my recovery. The best part is this course allows us to come and practice with the foundation there. A big thank you goes out to these guys from all Windward Way Recovery clients.

This course in in great shape and just a lot of fun to play. Great for all skill levels.

The fairways were very rough and had many large areas

I've enjoyed playing here the two times that I have. Great value!

Hidden within Irvine, this executive course is fun to play. I finished within 2.5 hours. It has few hazards so no need to worry about looking for your lost ball in the bushes. John Wayne airport is right there, so planes are constantly taking off, after a while you don't hear the loud engines anymore. It's worth playing once. Maybe with a group of friends and some drinks, it would be a nice 3-4 hour break.

Played here on a Sunday morning before my flight out. Didn't have too much time so thought I check it out. Got the round for free using my reward points and Hot Deal time. I paid $10 for a cart when I arrived. The course if very walkable and I was the only one using a cart. I got the cart cause I didn't want to be too tired for my flight in the afternoon.

For the price and location (Right behind John Wayne Airport), it's a great deal. It took me less than 3 hours to finish.

The course conditions weren't bad and it's a very easy course to play. Hence there were a lot of beginners and a few hackers. I wouldn't mind playing this course on a weekend for $20 (with cart) anytime.

The course was in good condition, you hit off a mat that has a place for you to use a tee so that was nice. The driving carts are brand new and super comfy and come with a ton of cup holders/accessory holders. The other golfers on the course we're very relaxed and nice so even though there were a couple behind us we never felt rushed even though we offered to let them pass us. We had a great time!

It's been awhile since we have played here and we were surprised by all the upgrades that have been made. We started at the driving range that has all new mats and beautiful turf on the range. After getting a few practice hits in we teed off. We don't get the chance to play that often so it was great that there was no one in front or behind us. All of the tee boxes have been redone and the greens were great. We really enjoyed our time on the course.

Buckers need some work and to much watering. I do lile to work on my short game good place to get in some practic
