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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times.

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
