A Walk in the park

This Saturday I woke up with nothing to do. You see ,basketball season ended baseball games were been suspended for spring break , and the kids were at a paintball party. So I look for courses That I could go to. To work on my short game. fortunately for me and Newport was close by. I was matched up with the father and his two children preparing for tournament very friendly people. After a few holes I decided to hang back to play with a Twosome and give the father and his kids some freedom. I saw that the course was open after six and decided to skip over to seven and play the rest of the 18 by myself. I had a great day. I saw variety of different groups . Mixed individuals, couples both old and young. families of all backgrounds and ages whom all appeared to be having a relaxing peaceful day On the links . So the next time I'm out with my buddies and I'm looking to have a nice relaxing round i'll be sure to go back to Newport. Don't forget the party at the barbecue at the 19th hole . Good times with good people.

Walked

No driving range for two months

Played the 6 am burner special, which included a bucket of balls. However the range is going through renovation for two month, which means no balls. The course was in good condition, fairly easy, as it is primarily par threes. Good for a quick swing of your clubs, but don't expect to hit many of your clubs, as the course is set to challenge your wedges. I have to reiterate the you hit off mats. Quick round of 18 (2 1/2 hrs.). Got out late because starter was late for the 6am start time, and sprinklers were still on on holes 1 & 2 when I played. However, it was an enjoyable experience.

Good Course to start playing

This course if the first one I ever played at and it is just that. It us perfect course to learn how to play the sport since it has mats to tee off, it only has 5 par 4's and the rest are all par 3's. It's a fun little course to do all 18 holes and you should no problem walking all 18 of them. The greens and fairways are always nice and well maintained. They also have lights for those late evening games. Prices aren't too high and you can always get good deals through Golfnow.

Not a good course unless u can't get on anywhere else

Very disappointed in this course. First off every hole u tee off of a mat and you can't use a tee on those. The greens were nice and fairways not bad. No carts so u must walk the course.

Maintenance was being performed on the greens. Putting was difficult. I was aware of this before playing. Played back nine in 45 minutes.

Good value and very interesting 18 hole layout.

After hitting a small bucket on their practice range we headed off on the first tee.
The course was well maintained with mature trees and the greens were very nice and true.
We liked that even though this was an executive course we had several opportunities to hit our driver off of the tee on the par fours.
We appreciated that this course has 18 different holes and even though we were in Newport Beach we had some interesting elevation changes during the round.
We also enjoyed watching the jets from John Wayne Airport take off directly overhead.

Short course, good for practice but needs maintenance

It was a quick round, mostly par 3s. Good value for money but the course is not in prime condition and needs work.

Service Charged me to Death

I booked on Golf Now and was charged a fee...this I understand knowing very well I was using a service, but when I arrived at the course, the starter said that the green fee on the site was the wrong green fee and needed to charge me $4.00 more since it was a holiday. I hemmed and hawed a bit, paid with my Visa and I was slapped with another 'service charge'...WOW! My 1st time to the course and this is how I was welcomed. It will be my last time.
I might of considered coming back, but the putting greens were extremely slow (3 on the Stimpmeter, maybe).

Good place for beginners. You must tee off from mats that's a downside.

Not bad at all!

The course played without issue. It was a new experience to approach the teebox and tee off of mats - the simple solution was to use the practice tees we keep in out bags - not an issue at all. the staff was incredibly friendly - the other golfers were very neighborly - and a good time was had by all.

On top of it all - a great value for 18 holes - we will most assuredly come back soon.

Problems!

We just played 9. No carts.

We could have played nine holes as walk on seniors for a dollar less than what we paid through GolfNow.

Their old rubber tees on the mats are gone and there's no easy way to use a tee! Bummer!

We won't play there again.

This course has great greens that were firm and fast when we played .

I recently spent a great day out for golf with my in laws and step son and have to admit if it was not for the cool ocean breeze we would have all not made all 18 holes walking with our carts.

Too noisy, filthy at the end of the 18th hole there was a mountain of trash!

Needs a lot of upkeep; the grass needs maintenance. I was very surprised to find a golf course in poor to fair condition considering that is situated in Newport Beach.

This course is in poor condition. I really did not like the face that I was quoted a price by Golf Now and then was forced to pay a larger amount at the golf course. This was outrages and will never go back.
