Newport Beach Golf Course
The course’s own description calls it “the only public golf course in Newport Beach.”
Why the house keeps it
We keep Newport Beach Golf Course because it is the town's own — in its own words, the only public golf course in Newport Beach: an 18-hole executive layout, par 59, lighted for night play, with a full published rate card and its rules printed on the same page. No introductions needed; that is its virtue.
