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.

Fun! Pretty worthwhile course. Get to watch monster aircraft directly overhead. Long enough to use all your clubs, but easy enough to carry the bag. A nice short course to try on a cloudy afternoon.

A fun, fast, and reasonably priced golf experience, in a convenient location. The course condition can vary significantly depending on the time of year, but you really get your money's worth here.
There are no concession carts here, so plan accordingly.

All tee boxes are mats, they did not give us rubber tees, the women’s bathroom is very poorly taken care of, the carts are filthy and broken, overall course is not taken care of and HORRIBLE customer service. Very rude staff acting entitled, there’s no spectators so you have to pay 37$ just to be in this crappy course. Also have to be 21 to get a cart. Wish I could give 0 stars and they do not deserve to be in business.
