Newport Beach Golf Course

Greens are nice right now 10/09/2025

Love playing this course, hope they don't turn it into a surf park.

I read reviews before playing. One reviewer mentioned the state of the art hitting mats. (See photo)

This course was muddy, smelly, full of poop, grass was not manicured, hitting mats were in terrible shape, fairways were in terrible shape. The greens, however, were in great shape.

Course needs a complete makeover.

This is my third time playing this course so I knew better what to expect. This course caters to the beginner or the person that is still getting their game togther and playing an 18 hole championship course is still a goal. Teeing off mats can be problematic at times but it's done because the course gets so much use that it would be impossible to keep grass alive. The holes are long enough to get in shot making but not so long to be overwhelming. The greens are ok but they don't break because they are very well stepped on. Overall the course is playable but it does have it's share of barren dirt patches and mud trenches. But in between you will find playable grass to play the game and greens that are decent. So go out and enjoy the Newport breeze and the fresh air. That part is never disappointing.

Course was in decent shape. The greens were in excellent condition considering the fact that it is an executive course.

The course was confusing to follow. Lots of patchy grass and mud and the tee boxes were synthetic grass on slab of concrete.

Hacked-up tees, solidified mud 18th fairway, drunk 6-some ahead of us ( no Marshall!!), some seriously rough fairways - but good greens. Overall, a very poor quality course, suitable only for beginners. Yuk.

Badly cut-up fairways (especially holes 1-9) , lots of mud in places, any the 18th has a dried mud fairway, YUK.

No Marshall, so the 6- person group in front of us, blind drunk and celebrating a birthday - could not be shifted along, or off the course.

The greens are OK. Nothing else good to say!!

Unless you are an absolute beginner, avoid this disgraceful course!!

Sorry, this place is great for the driving range, and the bar. I thought I’d try the “mats” for tee off but they are old, and uneven. NO water to drink on the course. And NO water in any ball washer. I get the artificial grass idea for the greens, but they are full of sand and divots. Overall, it’s inexpensive — paid $22 for 9 holes — so I got what I paid for. But never again.

Layout is quite amazing, greens, fairways are pristine! Worth every penny and definitely a bucket list course!

I am a very new golfer who had some questions about different golf gloves and the large (fat) male that was behind the counter was incredibly dismissive and rude. He condescendingly would repeat the same answer even though he did not answer my questions. I ended up purchasing items online instead of at the store.
