Newport News Golf Club at Deer Run

Usually, a great place to practice and play. However, I'm disappointed to see that the grounds crew has decided not to cut hole locations on the practice green or chipping green the last few weeks. Hopefully, it's only due to the heat. If not, I might need to look into a new place to practice.

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.
