Round at Newport

It was a nice relaxing round. Course was not difficult to play.

Better compared to the Lake Forest par 3 course.

As the title suggests, it seems better compared to the Lake Forest par 3 course. If LF is a hot deal price, it is cheaper, but I think this place is better in terms of course condition, atmosphere, and location.

Irvine's Best Public Par 3 Course

As the title suggests, I think it's the best public par-3 course in the Erlevine area. I heard about the noise of the plane, but it was rather fun to watch. However, it is true that electric carts were a little more expensive than expected, but I am willing to pay enough to play 18 holes. I recommend it.

Outstanding but some issues….

Can’t beat the driving range and a medium bucket for $12.00. It didn’t have a ball tray though. Secondly, practice green was in great condition. The outstanding staff was very friendly and helpful. My group of 3 I played with was very friendly. The average pace of play was good and I helped out with green conditions by repairing some divots. Nobody knows how to repair divots who play here. I’d most likely play the course again but I won’t be expecting to hit the ball well especially with planes in the background. But, the vibe is fun and was relaxing and not to mention challenging.

I’d still give this course a 4/5 for the customer service and for the course being a nice practice round course with challenging holes.

Always a great deal

I play this course because it’s very affordable, especially on the TeeOff app … at $17.99, it can’t be beat, Sure, there are nicer courses in OC, but my game is at the point where I still need to hit the ball straight, and put it in the hole. Paying more money for a nicer course, isn’t going to make my ball flay any straighter, or go in the hole more often … just my retirement point of view 😎

Not bad, good for beginners

I'm still learning and putting my game together. This course is great for it. It's short. That's for sure. But it's a good course for cheap. They have riding carts. I golfed on a weekday morning and there were plenty available. If you're older or disabled, this can be a tough course to walk. Fairways and greens were in good condition and green in color. You have to tee off mats, except for a couple longer holes. But it's not bad on a budget.

CHEAP, LIT, and Usually a good time.

Me and this course have a little in common. For real though it's best bang for your buck in the area. Don't have a single complaint.

You get what you pay for and more

Fairways are very ragged. Greens are very good.

Best hot dog ever.

Can’t recommend.

Mats in most tee boxes. Lots of dirt. Poor fairway conditions. Even the sand dispensers on the cart had nothing but trash and leaves in them! Very little maintenance.
