Newport Beach Golf Course

Overview: Newport Beach Golf Course is an 18-hole public executive course near John Wayne Airport. Current course records give a par of 59 and 3,216 yards, while the operator describes two distinct nines and lighted night golf. The compact layout uses a lake and an urban Orange County setting to create a practical round that can be played outside normal daylight hours.

History: Harry and David Rainville are credited in current course records, but published dates conflict between a 1966 course date and a 1976 operating reference. The profile therefore leaves year_opened blank. The facility's long-running night-golf identity is supported by the operator and city material and is more dependable than a single unverified construction date.

Did You Know? The operator's current course page describes a front nine of par 29 and a back nine of par 30, so the 18-hole total reaches par 59. That split gives the short course a distinctive scorecard rhythm and helps explain why it is more than a simple nine-hole repeat.
