Played Newcastle - Coal Creek

[LeeFord]

I wasn't expecting such a nice course...I thought the big price tag was because of the views/amenities and location. But I thought it was a great course. Tough but fun.

The views are ridiculous.

Highly recommend!

New Castle is a great course, I am still not sure it is worth the hefty price tag, as mentioned a lot of it is for the views. However, summer prime time you can play Chambers Bay for the same price as Newcastle and there is no comparison between those two courses, there is a reason Chambers is hosting the Open.

If you want to play Newcastle on more of a budget consider the Oki Card if you don't already have one. The sister course China Creek is also nice. It lacks the spectacular views but has a nice layout (it is significantly shorter as well)

I could not disagree more. I have played this course on a number of occasions and each time was worse than the last. The greens are always in horrible shape and if there has been any rain in the last few days...be prepared for your ball to plug all over the place (fairways,greens,rough). Many better tracks in the area for half the price IMO. If you want to spend the money, drop it on Chambers.

Ive never player Newcastle because it seems way over priced. However...I got into a best ball tourny on the China Creek course going down this Friday, being hosted by a vendor that my company uses. I get to play for free so i'm sure i'll like it but yeah...bucking up for Chambers is for sure worth it. i love playing that course! they have the July special going on now for twilight times that is only like $75 for P.C. residents.
