Pinehills Golf Club - Nicklaus Course

Visited Newport for a few days and was looking to get a nice round in. Due to the drought I screened reviews of nearby courses to find somewhere that was still playing like normal. Everywhere recommended this course and it did not disappoint. Everything was still green as opposed to the burnt out brown ive seen everywhere else, fairways are watered so well drives sometimes stuck like greens. Admittedly it was around 3-4x what I'd pay for a round but in these conditions it was worth it. Great course, great pace of play, great experience.

I CANT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THESE TWO COURSES, JONES AND THE NICHOLIS. THE JONES IS ALITTLE MORE CHALLEGING OFF THE TEE. PERFECT CONDITIONS. $90 AFTER 2:00 WEEKENDS. WORTH EVERY PENNY. I TRAVELED 2 HRS TO GET THERE 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. LIKE I SAID ITS A MUST PLAY. WITH SUNSET GETTING LATER TRY AND GET AS CLOSE TO 2 AS POSSIBLE, AVARAGE TIME WAS 4:30 HR.

Fabulous course layout, beautiful conditions and wonderful staff and restaurant……. If you love golf……Pinehills is a must to play

This Place is a Must Play…. Just play the appropriate tees to your Handicap!!!! Guys try playing 7,100 yards an there a 20 handicap... But this place is Great….. Price should be a little lower… Just my opinion….. GO PLAY……

Pinehills is one of my favorite courses. The round was disappointing at best. Tee boxes on the Nicklaus course are very far apart. There were two walkers two foursomes in front of us who were holding the whole course up.

I would always recommend this course but never in this time slot.

Course is in great shape, greens were a perfect speed. All the staff was friendly and helpful.

I know the weather isn't a feature of the course, but it was a perfect day. Course was in excellent shape, staff was very friendly and helpful, the Starter gave us a good understanding of the layout, which was a big help and spot on, and gave us each a bottle of water.
From the moment we dropped off our clubs it was full service all the way. Our cart was waiting for us at the driving range after we checked in, and we had
full use of the practice facility,(driving range, chipping area and 2 large practice putting greens), before our round.
Highly recommend this course!

Pinehills Is easily the premier public facility if New England.

Let’s start with the amenities. Spacious and locker room, with private showers and fresh towels for the public to use. There’s nothing better than taking a hot shower to relax the muscles and get cleaned up after a round of golf and heading into the restaurant or pub.

The practice facility is incredible. Your greens fee covers the use of the entire practice area which includes the range, as well as several putting greens and chipping areas with bunkers. Though they have a massive grass teeing area, the mats are used much more often than not.

The layout is fantastic. The course offers multiple tees to choose from, and while the fairways are wide, there is plenty trouble to get into with waste areas, bunkers and long fescue and large ravines spread about. The conditions are pristine. Fairways are plush, the rough is think and juicy and the greens while receptive roll fast and true.

One last feature that’s quite a treat is the GPS systems in each golf cart. They are incredibly detailed and provide the ability to tap the screen to select random distances as well as pinpoint yardages to each flag. They even offer the ability to see slope on and around each green.

While the greens fee may be steeper than many, the value is incredible here at Pinehills.

This is by far, the best course I’ve played in Massachusetts. Staff was friendly, answered questions clearly and were helpful. Arrived for my 11 am tee time at 10. Cart crew grabbed my bag, loaded it onto a cart and brought it to the practice range while I checked in. Range is stellar. The hitting mats feel like turf. The short game and putting areas are amazing. The bar staff/pro shop attendant was courteous. The starter gave us a bottle of water and a little insight into the course.

The course is tough, but fun. Greens, even though aerated recently, ran true. Bunkers were actual sand unlike some courses in Massachusetts.

Definitely will be playing here again. 11/10 if I could rate it that high

I Played Nickalus course which is more friendly for tee shots,etc. Fairways and rough in pretty good shape but all greens not. Two types of grass growing but sparce which makes rolling of ball not consistant. Hopefully in another month the greens will all be grown in. Payed $65 on Golfnow, would not pay more at this point of the year.
