I rarely see any reviews for golf courses in the Houston area which surprises me due to the fact that Houston has some of the best courses in Texas. Newport Country Club is located in Newport which is just a subdivision of Crosby, Texas, about 30 miles Northeast of Downtown on Us Hwy 90. Its an 18 hole par 72 Championship Golf Course nestled in amongst thousands of pine trees and hundreds of homes. A truly beautiful, yet challenging course for the brave amateur or seasoned veteran. Green Fees run around 35 bucks with a half a cart. Hole 1: A short Par 4 with a wide fairway will give the golfer a chance to keep his driver in the bag and go for a long iron off the tee. Watch out for trees to the right and a large fairway bunker to the left. Both will easily ruin ones chance at a well earned birdie with such a sloping green for a finish. Hole 2: A medium sized Par 4 with a dogleg left, which is great for draw hitters. Pull out the Callaway and let her rip off this tee box. The fairway is wide open, but risk takers will try and cut the left corner of the dogleg. 2 bunkers guard the raised green with a slope going right to left. Hole 3: A very short Par 3 guarded by 3 bunkers that encompass the whole front side of the green. Pin placement is usually to the rear of the green, but don't over shoot. You will end up in a very deep gully that runs behind the hole. Hole 4:This hole is an uphill battle for a Par 4. It has a decent sized fairway, but alot of trees along the outer boundaries make this more difficult that first imagined. Stay to the left and you'll be fine. Hole 5: What a beast. This is a long 600 plus yard Par 5 that is very narrow off the tee box. Watch out for the fairway bunker to the right and bunkers surrounding the green. A birdie is very difficult to achieve here. Hole 6: Mid-length Par 3 with a raised green. Small pond to the rear of the hole, so aim short if you have to. OB runs along the right hand side. Bunkers guard the green from the front right and left sides. Hole 7: Bust out the driver once again for this long Par 5 that runs uphill for 70% of the hole. OB and trees run along the left hand side, and you will need a long iron after a good drive for a chance for an eagle. Hole 8: Possibly the easiest hole to birdie. A very short Par 4 with a wide open fairway. Flat green, with one large bunker on the rear side. Birdies galore here folks. Try and drive the green. Hole 9: The hardest hole on the course. A 450 yard Par 4 with a sharp dogleg to the left. Do not try and cut the corner--you will fail epically. Hit the drive too far, and you are in the water, too short and you have no possible way to make the green in regulation due to the dogleg. Very difficult to make par here. Hole 10: A double dogleg par 5 with a flat green sees alot of birdies. You're gonna have to cut the corner off the tee box to be in the prime spot to make the green in two. The green is level with the fairway, so a long iron is a good idea from your first shot. Hole 11: Another cookie cutter Par 4, large fairway bunker on the left and many tree to the right. Stay in the middle and you can easily make the green in two. Depending on wind conditions and how far you can hit the ball, you can drive the green. Hole 12: Another dogleg left Par 4, which can be brutal if you hit the bunker that sits right in the middle of the fairway in prime landing area off the first shot. Keep the driver in the bag and 4 iron it the whole way to the green and you got a well earned birdie shot. Hole 13: This is a very short Par 4, but the green is covered by trees. If you dare to cut the small dogleg right, beware of the Vietnam-style canopy. Best bet is to fade a 3 wood, and chip close to the green. Play it safe and you got a birdie here. Hole 14: Probably the easiest Par 3 on the course. A 7 iron placed onto a wide green should do the trick. Hole 15: This Par 5 has a sharp 90 degree dogleg right, which makes it fairly easy to make the cut. After that, its a 250 yard 3 wood that can land you on the green in 2. Alot of eagles and birdies here. Do not overdrive from the tee box. Hole 16: A very narrow, yet short Par 3 will force golfers to place their tee shots perfectly on a small green. You have woods that run parallel with the hole, so watch out with an errant tee shot. Hole 17: A short Par 4 with a deep bend to the left (I'm tired of saying dogleg) will allow drivers to let out a big drive on this hole. Of course it helps if you're a hooker like me. It's a golf term, not a profession folks. Beware of the bunker infested green area. It'll getcha! Hole 18: Mid-length Par 4 with water to the right, and an island green. Need I say anymore? This hole is a great way to finish a great round of golf in Crosby. Very challenging yet very rewarding. Enjoy! read more

Remember kids, a cheap product isn't good and a good product isn't cheap... it definitely applies to golf courses, as well. I felt sorry for myself playing here. From the tee box to the fairways, to the roughs, and the greens; this poor course needed so much attention and maintenance. I'm not necessarily asking for pristine, how about just a fairway that is mainly grass and not feel like you've stepped on the moon surface. On a normal and decent course, one of the best view was to look back; not here, it was hard to look back or look forward. On the bright side, 18th hole was pretty decent. Island style and the greens was quite nice. They obviously spent all their budget to this hole. lol read more

Stonebridge at Newport - Hole 18 - Country Clubs Near Me - Crosby, Texas

Forty dollars ended up being about the right price for this course, but unfortunately that's about the only positive thing I can say. Nearly every fairway is lined with houses, which makes the layout feel extremely tight and repetitive. The greens were in very poor condition and clearly not maintained to a standard that makes the round enjoyable. The biggest issue, however, was the marshal. Easily one of the rudest marshals I've ever encountered. On one hole he insisted I tee off while the group ahead of us was only about 280 yards out. I told him I carry the ball around 300 and didn't want to risk hitting into them, and he responded by saying he "doubted that." It completely killed the vibe of the round and irritated the rest of my group, especially considering some of them had driven over three hours to play here. After reading through other reviews, it seems like this same marshal is a common denominator in a lot of negative experiences. That should probably be addressed if the course wants to improve its reputation. Overall, between the layout, the greens, and the staff experience, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to play again. read more

Great lay out in pretty decent shape need water on course but I quests you always bring your on

Fun course! Slow play on a Sunday afternoon with no starter. The course was very fun with many tall trees. The course was generally in good condition. A few greens and tees had rough spots, but most were in good shape, as were the fairways and sand bunkers. The front 9 was much more secluded through the woods and the back 9 had houses on both sides of almost every hole. It was worth the trip for my group! read more

We had our wedding here on January 18, 2020, and let me just say I wouldn't have been happier anywhere else. Virginia, the coordinator, was amazing with her vision, communication, and work ethic to make sure our special day was just that! Carol was great to work with on pricing and such. Thanks again y'all! read more

Played my home course today, the course was very soupy. Plus the greens are still not complete. That being said, I was aware of that prior to booking the Tee time. As far as the staff is concerned, both of the employees were very kind and helpful, Kevin & Nikki were awesome. The greens will be completely repaired on July4th and I suggest you come to Crosby and play a round or 2, the staff and the Galley grill make it worth your time! Thanks Nikki and Kevin, see ya soon! Shale Crosby Texas! read more

God, I really wish I could give this place 0 stars. Me and my buddies like to play 3v3 scrambles, Not all golf courses allow this so we always call the pro shop beforehand to make sure it's ok and this time was no different. Upon arriving to the first hole we were met with an extremely rude and racist Marshall who said we weren't allowed to play our 3v3. After trying to explain to him that we had called beforehand and got the green light, he proceeded to say "you can play by my rules or go back to where you're from" I hate to pull the race card here but saying that to a six man consisting of 5 Hispanics and 1 black dude is wild. Neverless we proceeded to play the first 4 with the other two playing behind even tho the golf course was basically empty, absolutely ruining the whole day for the group. All in all the golf course is decent but for the price point, you'd expect a lot more. Truly save yourself from going here read more

Went golfing with quite a large party, from what I understand they are busy on weekends, but we saw no one there until the 8th hole, nice since we had to take a break for one of our golfers to run an errand. Grounds were quite hard but that happens with this cold! After 18 holes we stopped at the bar and grill for a lunch that was a tad late. Food took awhile getting to us, but was good for a small bar and grill off a golf course. Service was ok, they seemed understaffed, maybe because there were not a lot of people there. Tater tots were greasy as hell, and were falling apart. Nice course, but I think I'll eat somewhere else next time I'm here. read more

The course is not in very good shape at this time of the year. I expect it to improve once the growing season gets here. The layout is nice and challenging. The staff is friendly and the green fees are very reasonable - they don't charge weekend fees on Fridays like Cypresswood and Tour 18. read more

Very fun golf course to play. I am from Humble, so this was a bit of a drive for me, but this course is different than what I am used to playing. It's tree lined in a quiet neighborhood. Don't be surpised if you see a couple of deers roaming the holes while you play. The course definitely hace a nice "nature" feel to it. My favorite hole is probably 18. Slight dogleg right with the approach shot over water. White rocks line the bank where the water ends. Very nice to look at. Conditions are probably a 3.5/5, but this course charges appropriately, therefore it gets 4 stars. Try it out if you are in the area. Good for all levels of play. read more

My husband and son love to play at newport! This gold course is one of the reasons we purchased a house in newport. My son loves hole 18 with the water. Beautiful setting all around this course. read more
