Newport National Opens 9-Hole Vineyard Course
Newport National’s nine-hole Vineyard Course is now open for play.
The opening of the Vineyard Course turns Newport National into a 27-hole facility alongside the 18-hole Orchard Course.
“The Vineyard Course at Newport National is a wonderful complement to the existing Orchard Course. Set on a gently rolling terrain, each hole is carefully crafted so they blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings and preserve the historic stone walls and specimen oak trees. Much like the Orchard Course, the Vineyard Course has a charming New England feel that is reminiscent of many classic old golf courses found in the Northeast. Along with a beautiful new clubhouse, the Vineyard Course also provide a new state-of-the-art practice facility, which includes a double-ended driving range with over 70,000 square feet of practice tee and multiple target greens. It also includes a one acre short game area with multiple bunkers and ample fairway surrounds so players can practice virtually any short shot they can imagine,” writes Newport National on their website.
The course was designed by Arthur Hills of of Hills & Forest International Golf Course Architects.
