Played the North course at 230 this afternoon. Service always great. Greens were smooth and medium speed. Slow into the grain away from the ocean. A little speedier with the grain towards the ocean. A tad slow at 4:45 but I really didn't mind as the views are great. We could hear the bell that rings on the buouy at the entrance to Newport harbor. We also heard the sea lions barking. Very good day ended with a beer watching the sunset from the clubhouse bar.

Played on Memorial Day for my buddy's 40th birthday. Weather was perfect as was the playing conditions of the course.

Service was top notch. For the expensive green fee you also get a forecaddy. Although he had only been working ta the course a short time, he definitely knew the game and was quick to get yardages and give you aiming spots. He made the day much more enjoyable.

I wouldn't play there unless it was much cheaper but for a special occasion it was great. Awesome views all the way around.

Played in the late morning on Saturday, 4/24/10, on a cool day that started overcasr and finished sunny and breezy. I wouldn't ordinarily play at a course this pricey but had a gift cert from the understanding wife. Course is draped over SoCal coastal foothills and offers great views of the ocean and sailboats, crazy huge homes, and lots of chances to shoot a quad.

Greens were in excellent condition, but very firm and crazy fast, esp. toward the water and/or downhill. Fairways were cut very short and were firm, so lies were good but what looked like good shots could roll out into trouble. Traps were in good condition, firm with thin sand. Rough around the greens could grab clubs - a firm hand is needed. Much of the hole surrounds are high grass or canyons from which balls never return. Front nine is longer and more difficult, back nine the wind comes more into play. Generally plenty of room off the tee, but approaches to greens are key and the ball needs to be put in the right place on the greens to allow you to do anything but putt defensively.

Forecaddie spent all his time chatting up the other twosome, who probably offered better gratuity chances. He consistently underread the breaks on my putts - after about 3 holes I started hitting it where I thought necessary. He was right about the speed, however. Challenging for players of all levels - come prepared to get beat up.

played here last week. The course is in fantastic shape. Greens were true and fast runnin 11 or so on stimp. service was awesome too. It is a must play right now.

A challenging course for sure...the conditions were perfect, customer service over the top...price is very high....but like a private club ++++++ rough was tough, greens were slow, but will be running fast soon!! You have to be on the fairway to score...rough is very penalizing and can tank your scores...a challenge for sure....

played on sunday and wasnt really impressed. First, arrived at the course in the morning to hit range balls, and the range is pointing right at the sun. So seeing where you hit the ball was difficult.... Continue »

played on sunday and wasnt really impressed. First, arrived at the course in the morning to hit range balls, and the range is pointing right at the sun. So seeing where you hit the ball was difficult. Second, forecaddies are mandatory. Why should i pay an extra fee when greens fees are already high? Third, conditions werent that great. Alot of dry spots or burnt areas in the fairway. The views were pretty good though, but the north course doesnt really get that close to the ocean. I prefer sandpiper and torrey pines south better than the two courses they have here.

Played today twilight. The course is in outstanding shape. Especially the fairways. The greens are slow but I think that is everywhere it seems. Probably to protect against the heat. The weather was spectacular and the ocean views as well. The staff here is also outstanding. Make you feel special. Tip them well! This course is worth the money now I highly recommend it !!

Wow, what a golf course. Amazing ocean views througout the course. An amazing layout with alot of elevation changes. Target golf at times.

The practice facility was excellent. The course was in outstanding condition. The course is an amazing golf experience. I recommend all avid golfers treat themselves to this course at least once in their life. It will leave you speechless if you love ocean golf courses.
