If not for the amazing course condition and quality I would have rated this a solid 3-star course due to the SLOW play. Summer golf in south Florida should be quick (normally less than 3 hours a round at my home course) but this was not that. At the tee of 18 we were already 23 minutes behind pace. What made this even more frustrating was that on hole 3 the ranger had told me that as a single he’d let me play through. Then 2 holes later a different ranger came and said he had us on pace so he wouldn’t allow it. Consistency is key especially for a course that is only 2 months into operation. This course has potential to be one of the best in the area and already does that tee to green.

Had a great experience today playing at Newport National. Though they have recently aerated the greens and fairways, the course played smooth and fast. The greens had some difficulties but still were fast. The views were amazing. The clubhouse leaves some to be desired but the course itself couldn’t have been a better layout!

The course was in great shape from the tee boxes to the greens. As it warmed up, the greens got extremely fast. Pin placements were challenging on some holes.

Have played this course quite a few times now and it seems to never improve. Some of the tee boxes are in such bad shape that finding a place to tee off is as difficult as finding your ball in the woods. The course layout can be challenging at times but is fun to play. The fairways were in decent shape but the bunkers seemed to lack sand. Greens were in great condition and played fast all day.
