Soft warm summer breeze almost always a characteristic whenever we play this course. The staff is super friendly and most accommodating to provide a home feel. On this day, it almost felt like we were playing on a private course; playing at a very comfortable pace with very few hiccups. A couple of ice cold water stations to keep you hydrated was very welcomed on this hot day. A very enjoyable place to shoot a lazy round.

There was construction ongoing at the facilities so my wife and I got the use of a couple of beat up pull carts. Didn't see any three wheel carts so bring your own if you prefer them over a two wheeler. Sand traps were in very good condition. Pace of play was excellent as we finished 18 holes in under 3 hours; backup only at a couple of holes. The greens were of ample size so they offered good targets from the tee, they were in good shape, and they were interesting due to their slope and contour. Water in play on all holes. Ball marks and raking of traps could use more attention; not sure if these issues are due to the junior (beginner) golfers playing there. Had a nice chat with the golf pro prior to him sending us off and during that time noticed that the course accommodates junior golfers; junior tee boxes are marked on all holes. Watering stations are needed; we didn't see any. Portable toilet is available on the 5th hole. Overall, a great course for a quick round.

This course has great potential with some very scenic holes but i was disappointed that we had to play behind a group of juniors and their coach which resulted in us having to wait for long periods at far too many holes. There should be a policy review for these situations as I'm sure the majority of Newland's customers would be very annoyed with this situation. There was lots of debris from a recent (week ago) wind storm that could have been cleaned up better. Poor signage on a few holes created confusion In finding the next hole.
