Newport News Golf Club at Deer Run

I visited Newport News Golf Club recently to hit a few balls at the range. I've previously taken golf lessons here. Their instructors are great and helped me with my swing. The clubhouse is clean and well maintained as is the rest of the course. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Some of the golfers are not as friendly. Prices are very affordable. Overall this seems to be a popular course for good reason.

Paid for 18 holes, only got through 7 because it started storming, and they wouldn’t issue me a rain check. Never heard of a golf course not giving rain checks — what a joke of a business. I called the general manager (Woods Woolwine) about it and he did not care to make things right at all. On top of this, the Marshaller on the course was incredibly rude. I had a friend with me from out of state so we were using the same clubs and she told us we have to rent another set of clubs. Overall, this place acts like it’s a fancy and boujee course, when it actually is just awful and over-priced, due to terrible and rude leadership and staff.

Have been here pretty consistently for a while and EVERY SINGLE TIME I go I get a lot of attitude from every single staff member that works there and I am completely fed up with it and will not be going back. The nicest person at the complex is the employee that cleans the golf carts, it’s absolutely pathetic how rude a bunch of old pro shop workers can be, if this was my golf club every one of them would be fired immediately. Do better Deer Run.
