Great location.

We had a nice time golfing at Newport Beach golf course.

We were paired with a father and son who frequent this golf course almost every weekend.

It took just slightly over four hours to complete this course.

Great beginner course to lock in your iron game

Front 9 has a great course for warming up and testing your irons with various par 3s. The only thing I didn't like about the front 9 is that they use turf mats to tee from. So make sure you got some of those rubber practice tees or crown tees if you don't like hitting off a mat. The back 9 has mostly grass tee boxes and most of the par 4s. Par 4s are driveable for eagle opportunities

Exactly what I needed.

Younger golfer, around 20, kinda new to the game, switched from only going to the range to playing holes a few months back. I struggle lots on par 3s and saw this course on the app for a good price. Showed up at 6:10ish for a 6:30 time and they just let me go early. Didn’t have to talk with anyone but the starter, super chill. Pace of play was great for a Monday morning, allowing me time to look for mishits, but not too slow. You do have to cross a street but to be honest idk why people get so worked up about it in reviews, it’s really not that big of a deal.

Obviously it’s not perfect, but the parts of the course that needed to be green were green and that’s all that counts in my book. Only struggles I had were forgetting rubber tees on the 16th and 17th holes, which I had to jog back and get.

Great value, will be coming back.

Well.. it’s a course kind of

This barely a course. Better than Meadowlark, but not close to the level of Costa Mesa or Mile Square. You’ll see lots of dirt, hit off mats, poor green condition.

However, it does have some decent 4 par holes. 15 is nice. It’s a decent course to learn at, or if you can’t get a tee time somewhere else.

Playing the afternoon on a Friday is miserably slow. Morning on a weekday is pretty good pace.

Original Pizza is the in house restaurant. It has a great vibe. Lots of screens. A nice crowd. Original runs the snack bar on the turn and they pour a nice strong vodka lemonade.

The golf shop is nice as well.

Decent course but needs a little work

Played Newport Beach for the first time and it was a fun little course and I got paired with some great guys who gave me some great tips to improve my game. The course as a whole does need some work like putting in more actual tee boxes and removing the tee mats. The layout is also a little confusing with the way some of the holes don’t flow into each other.

A good experience

For $30 it's all good. Played with friendly people, the greens were in good shape. I hate the range so walking this short course and hitting all the clubs in my bag was great.
