Excellent amenities (two tee boxes, bag trees, nice maps at each hole) and a great mix of open and wooded holes. The pro tees allow players to add distance if they want or change the angle from which they play the hole, because almost none are in a line with the amateur tees. A nice practice basket at the entrance. Even most open holes have a few obstacles to dodge, making you work on your backhand and flick, or at least your hyzer and anhyzer shots.

A $2 entry fee was listed at the entrance, but I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to pay it. No change in elevation whatsoever took away some excitement. The course is a little busy on summer weekends, but the other players were on the whole very courteous so you can probably play through if needed.

I liked this course a lot. I missed some of the elevation changes that make holes at other courses "epic," but the course design was such that no two holes felt the same. I ended up playing 45 holes in just one day, since the course is reasonably compact and I kept thinking of new ways to approach each hole.

Favorite hole: #6. From the amateur tee box, it is a short shot off over a tiny creek bed that challenges you to choose a hammer or backhand hyzer. Enough trees that you might need to use all three shots to claim par, but short enough to be a tantalizing shot at birdie or a possible ace.

Great Tee pads, for regular and Pro, all holes very well marked. Benches at most if not all holes, bag tree and trash cans at many of the tees. Well maintained park course, nice mix of open holes and tight wooded holes. No real hazards to speak of makes this a very forgiving course for those just trying it out for the first time.

Short, unless you are a beginner. Little elevation change, just a few of the front 9 wooded and #17. Some holes become parking for events that take place during the summer.
Club house is located in a different section of the park unfortunately, but they carry Discs, bags, portable baskets, snacks, drinks and other camping supplies.

This was my first course I ever threw on. Some say it is short, it's a great course for beginners then, and the pro tees add some good distance. I love it and love to get out and throw here. The local club seems great, friendly people, didn't mind a newbie showing up to there Tuesday night summer series.

#17 is the best hole here. The first time I just stepped up to the tee and looked at it I smiled. I thought it was a great hole, still do. Nice long hole over small creek that dips down and comes up to the basket.

Very clean, very well maintained. Great for beginners. Every hole has two concrete tees, bag pole and an excellent sign. Very easy to navigate. Red Pro Tees add some good distance and difficulty.

White plays a little short. While white has two par 4s and 2 par 5s, Red stays all par 3.

Favorite holes: 6 - can be very tough from the pro tee - small alley to make it through the trees with a slight left. 12 - good distance hole with a few trees in the way. 17 is the best hole, slightly down hill across a small ravine. On the longer side for this course - I can empty my bag throwing at this one.

Watch out for all the other activities that go on each weekend at the newport news park especially in the summer. Any large activity, they like to make holes 1 and 10 - 12 extra parking.

Also in the summer, the course does not drain well, so it gets wet and muddy, bring a towel.
