Newport Beach Golf Course
Played On 09/10/2019Don't do it unless you're paying less than $10
I paid $12 on a hot deal to play here. Usually for most golfers, they go out to executive courses such as this one to practice their mid and short range game, especially off the tee.
Well, you won't get that here.
All of the teeboxes are mats. Let me repeat that. ALL the teeboxes are mats.
What's more is that these "state of the art" mats, as they advertised, are incredibly rough and coarse that they scuffed up my irons pretty badly.
The mats were also warped and misshapen, from heat and overuse.
They'll probably reply to this review with a generic comment about how they take poor reviews seriously but most likely won't do anything about it.
Bunkers were nonexistent.
Fairways were 40/60 grass/dirt.
Greens were so filled with ballmarks it was impossible to play a non-bumpy putt.
Don't do it. Unless you're paying under $10 and looking to scuff up your clubs. Perhaps for beginners, but even then there are better courses.

Played On 09/03/2019Good course for the hot deal price only
Played a 9:50 tee time. Weather was blazing hot around 97-102 degrees. Plenty of shade to take shelter under, which was nice.
Greens rolled slow but felt okay. Some green conditions were really rough; I’m talking bare patches and simple dirt on some holes. Bunkers had almost no sand, was more akin to hitting off dirt. Fairways were mostly okay, no concerning spots. Only teeboxes were well maintained.
Some holes smelled awful, like a mixture of horse excrement and manure. Possibly from the stagnant water on some holes. Those were rough to stomach.
I would not play here for more than $17 which was the hot deal price.
