Description

The Cardinal course at Newport News Golf Club is known as the more challenging, championship-leaning option, often featuring longer holes and more demanding shot values. The layout typically rewards accurate driving and disciplined approach play, with hazards and angles that punish careless lines. Greens and short game become major separators—strong players can score, but only if they control misses and avoid short-siding. It’s a popular course for competitive rounds and outings because it offers a legitimate test without requiring private-club access. Overall, Cardinal is the “bring your game” course in the Newport News pair—tougher, longer, and more structured.

Practice areas and both courses are well maintained. In addition to regular lessons they now offer indoor lessons via simulator from a wonderfully charismatic instructor. Rates are reasonable, clubs available to rent if needed, and the restaurant/bar in the clubhouse offers a great variety of food and refreshments. The natural beauty of this coarse is unmatched.

There are two separate 18-hole golf courses here, along with a driving range, a practice putting area, and a practice chipping area. Golf clubs and balls are available for rental and purchase. Golf carts are included in the course fee. The place is well maintained, very clean, and the staff are cordial and friendly. There is abundant wildlife (many different birds, including golden and bald eagles, cardinals, robins, bluejays, hawks, finches, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, sparrows, owls, cranes, ducks, geese, and others, plus deer, squirrels, turtles, otters/beavers in water, foxes, rabbits, butterflies, etc) and the course design offers privacy from other groups golfing. The holes are challenging and the scenery is spectacular, so much that I highly recommend coming here in spring to enjoy the fresh scents and appearances of the blossoming flowers and trees and in autumn to see the marvelously different colors of leaves in the context of the overall landscape and wildlife. This is an awesome golf course cultivated from and blended into nature, rather than an artificial golf course that bulldozes over and eradicates nature. Very refreshing! I had a great time here and definitely look forward to visiting again.

My company Lux Events has hosted multiple events at this place and it is great! Working with the ladies, including Patty & Kelly at the Lounge, has been great, they are so sweet and overly accommodating to ensure a great event, highly recommend them for hosting your next event!

The course was in decent condition, but the overall experience was mixed. The pro shop staff came across as unfriendly, which detracted from the visit. On a positive note, the restaurant staff was friendly and welcoming, though the food quality was disappointing. The facility has potential, but unfortunately, the experience with staff makes it unlikely I’ll return.

Showed up 5 minutes early to check into my tee time and stood in line for 5 minutes while desk attendant was talking to someone about a friend of theirs by the time he was ready to serve me he said I was too late and he couldn’t fit me in to my scheduled tee time. Worst golf club/course customer service I have ever had.
