Pace of play atrocious

Left after 4 hours and only through the 11th hole. No worth my time. Would like a 50% refund.

Should not be first choice

This course is not in good shape. Tee off on mats. Rain has made some holes unplayable Pace of play is awful for a semi executive course

Driving range is good

If your not first your last

The pace of play is disrespectful. The staff will let 9 senior citizens walk the course at any given time. People just skip holes and if you thought it would take you forever to get done with the front 9 wait till you get to the back. 2 1/2 hrs for the front 9 and 6 hours for the back 9

Hidden Gem…so stay away 😂

Honestly didn’t realize it was a full 18! Don’t mind the mats too much. Decent Par 4’s, fun 3’s, and the Back 9! Phenomenal. Value for sure, but bottom line, really fun course to play. Guys in the office are great, and even have decent prices on the merch in the shop. Will def pick up the set for the kiddos.

Highly recommend…but to only people I like 😉

Underrated Course-leave your driver in your truck

I have Probably played this course 40 times in my life. When I haven’t played for awhile, it’s a great test for sharpening my short and mid-iron play. I purposely leave the driver in my truck, to make the short par 4’s more of a challenge. After the rain, we were the first two out (6:30 AM tee time) and finished walking 18 holes in 2 hours and ten minutes…course was wet but very playable. The bacon egg burritos in the coffee shop were delicious and the staff is always friendly. Great little underrated course.

This course is alright.

I thought the round went ok. I didn’t like hitting off the mats. They also advertised lights and they weren’t on. I also thought the greens were very sandy with the green stuff they add to the greens. I probably wouldn’t come back unless it’s the range

Nice round of Golf on a very nice day!

Admittedly Newport golf course could stand to be better kept, But you are within just a few minutes from the beach and the weather is generally very moderate. The Price is very good too. I don't want to beat it too bad. The Driving Range is nice and the snack bar is decent. No Bar Cart girls though....

Worse and worse

Been playing here for years but it’s getting a bit out of hand now. Mud and trash everywhere, tee box mats look like they were purchased 30 years ago. No carts available for anyone! This place is rough.

On the other hand, club house/bar is one of the best I’ve been to. Great drinks and awesome food. The Italian sandwich is worth coming here for alone.

Needs a lot of love

Very poorly maintained. Food in clubhouse was good. Golf cart was good and practice green was good. Course is horribly maintained. You tee off of turf on every hole and they are in poor shape too. Greens are rough. Very collegiate on a lot of levels. Would not go back unless it was overhauled.
