Newport Beach Golf Course

Was assisted by Keith when we got there. Super nice guy and explained how they’re revamping the place soon! The course was fun and for the price, it’s unbeatable in Orange County. I think all the negative reviews are from previous management; from what I experienced today, this golf course is here to stay! I will definitely be a returning player.

Went here today for the first time. I’m new to golf but have played on a few courses. I really enjoyed it. They are going through some renovations to make the course better and it sounds like just about everything is getting a facelift. So after hearing all of that, I can’t wait to keep playing on it. Keith at the front was extremely friendly and even remembered our names as we were leaving.
Will definitely be back.

I gave them three starts before to give them the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe I just went at the wrong time of year. I’d say 4 out of the 18 holes literally don’t have greens, they stuck the flag stick about three-​fourths down the fairway, and the other 14 holes you really contemplate if trying to putt it out will make your game better or worse? You literally can’t putt. There are craters of sand on the greens and they are super slow. I would play this course upwards of 2 times a month if they just took care of it. Until then I refuse to play until tee boxes and new greens are installed. If I want to hit off a mat I will buy a bucket of range balls. All that said, I still believe in this course, but I refuse to give it my business until I hear they’ve changed everything.

Wow, what happened to place? this used to be one of my favorite courses and now it’s garbage. The fairways are in disrepair and the greens are covered in giant marks and dirt. Terrible. I’m pretty sure I won’t be back anytime soon

The course used to be great for beginners to learn. Now with the new management the greens are more like your front lawn mixed with a bunker. Save your money and don’t waste your time at this horrible course. I wouldn’t play here for free.

I play here a lot? Why? Because it’s cheap, convenient, and good to practice your short game… but I really hate it.
If you want a cheap, slow round, go ahead and play here. The course is filled with hackers, which I don’t mind, but the starters just send people out randomly and don’t group anyone up so you have unnecessarily slow play.
Heads up to the people who don’t want to walk, no electric carts to drive here (although there are tire marks on the fairways and greens).
Also, the course is in awful condition and always has been. It has long, dead, overgrown fairways, the tee boxes are mats, and the greens are copious with ball marks and potholes. It never gets better, and this is the complete truth. This is literally the worst course I have always seen, and it shows no sign of any care by the staff.
For the reason of its condition and indifference by the staff, 1 star. Playing here really messes up my game if I go play on an actual course. In terms of length, it’s similar to David L. Baker, but that course is much nicer (and it sucks too).
At least clean the dusty mats people!

Coming from nice green south orange county courses which are well kept, quiet, and more expensive, it’s kidn of a breath of fresh air to see a course that’s a little cheaper. You can tell its a little cheaper because its a bit older looking, the grass isn’t as green, patches of dirt… but hell, its cheap!
The amenities are scarce, but there is a food, drinks, a guide, and deals. I rarely encounter problems here.
If it were a bit closer to me, i’d e going here instead of the driving range down the street from me!

Never never even think of going there. Play on the first dead lawn you see. A total waste of time piece of crap!!!
