Newport Golf Club

What The Club Says

The course has an ideal situation some 300 ft above sea level on an inland plateau, surrounded by the beautiful countryside of South Wales. As it lies amidst picturesque woodlands and hills it is well sheltered from the prevailing weather. The southern views from the clubhouse look across the Bristol Channel towards the hills of Devon and Somerset, while to the east and north lie the hills and vales of North Gwent and the Brecon Beacons.

The parkland turf of the course provides a lush surface for the fairways which are well kept. The soil drains quickly and the course seldom floods even after heavy downpours, the soil is generally free from a hard clay surface and provides a good playing surface throughout the year. The Greens and tees are watered by the club's own sprinkler system, supplied from the clubs own borehole. The course benefits from an integral drainage system which has been installed in recent years.
