Newport Beach Country Club Review
Newport Beach, CA
71.6 rating; 127 slope |
Newport Beach Country Club Overview: This country club has a superb Orange County feel to it. The amenities are great, the clubhouse is extraordinary, the Pacific Ocean is nearby and the golf course is on a relatively square plot of land and uses a combination of water, small greens, and strategic bunkers to add enough treacherous shots to challenge the Champions Tour every year. The best holes are reviewed below:
Newport Beach Country Club Hole 3: This par five has an uphill drive and crushing one between the bunkers will give a few to the green, which is back downhill with a lake to its left. OB is right the length of the hole.

Newport Beach Country Club Hole 4: This par three is a tough one, especially when the pin is up or to the left as the water is definitely in play and there is not too much room to miss. The green is tough to putt as well.
Newport Beach Country Club Hole 7: This medium length par four is similar to others on the course as the key is to avoid the sand traps and/or being blocked by the large trees on either side of the fairway. The green here slopes severely from right to left and back to front.
Newport Beach Country Club Hole 16: This is a long par four that is very straight. There is out of bounds to the left on the tee shot and a slope down to the right of the hole that should be avoided as well.
Newport Beach Country Club Hole 17: This downhill par three features a tough shot that must avoid the water, clearly, but also not get involved in one of the numerous sand traps that will make up and down real tough.
Newport Beach Country Club Hole 18: The last par five of the day is straight and flat with a few bunkers along the way and another small and undulating green. The grandstands pictured here are not always there. :)
