It’s a decent par 3 course

It’s a good course to work on your short game. Just feel it should be cheaper for how small it is and the slow place.

Found my go to place

Sure, it’s not a fancy course (you do have to tee off from the mat except for a couple of holes) but I think I found a course I could play after work.

It was one of those days at work and I really wanted to just play a round by myself. Found this course on GolfNow. I checked in literally a minute before my tee time but staff was super understanding, and I was ready to go.

The course layout can be a bit confusing for a first timer. I walked, no pull cart—I only took 9 clubs with me. Definitely got my steps in, but it was relaxing and fun. The last two holes, it got really dark but I could still find my ball, thanks to the bright lights throughout the course.

If I ever have time after work again, I will definitely come back. 18 holes took me about 2.5 hrs. It was perfect.

3.5 hour back nine due to starter mismanagement

Everything was fine on the front nine but when we got to the back nine there were 25 people walking to the 10th tee. The starter just starting sending groups to the back 9 which is absolutely absurd. I called the course to ask what was going on and they said oh yah we send people off the back 9 after 4pm but that was never disclosed to us and certainly not what we were expecting when we paid for 18 holes and expected to finish before dark. Totally unprofessional, unacceptable and ridiculous. In 30 years of golf I’ve never seen anything even close to this.

Hello Robert. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve, and we are glad to see you rated the course conditions to be great during your game. We hope to see you again soon.

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....
