Newport Beach Golf Course is an executive course in a luxury neighborhood 😁, Newport. A typical executive course, while it's a 18-hole one, you'll need walk across the street to Hole 3-8 from Hole 2, and come back to the same side of road for the rest of your Front 9, which I was not impressed. After Hole 9, you'll need to pass through a tunnel for your Back 9, and it's getting a little more fun 😊. Hole 10, 220 yards Par 3, a pond on the right side of the green 💚. Hole 12, an uphill 95 yards Par 3. And the happy ending is that Hole 15/16/17 are all Par 4s, that you can bring out your woods somehow. One thing worth mentioning is that the greens here are all in very good conditions, best in the public course section.

So for the price it got 4 stars, course needs to replace a lot of the tee boxes. Hitting off mats for a majority of the holes isn't great, but you can see there is effort to make the course better with replacement tee areas. Course is tight, be aware of your surroundings as new golfers do not yell "Fore." Lots of dirt patches around the course. The putting greens were the best part of the course as you can see they were decent to higher quality than other OC courses.

Best place to practice. I can visit here everyday with $26 playing back 9. Even there are holes which have tee box with mat I think this course is best to practice each club from sand wedge to long iron as there are various range of holes.One downside is that the mat doesn’t hold tees well, so I deducted one star. Ah if you don't like the noise fron airplane that also could be downside which I don't care at all.

Course is shaggy. Greens in decent shape. Take it for what it is. An accessible municipal course that is an asset to the community. People are friendly and the sports bar is awesome.

Above average price with cart $40-50 for a worn out half dead Par 59 course. Other courses like Dos Lagos Corona nice Par 72 course with cart $43. The staff is cool and the food is good thats why 3 stars
