The Newport CC is located in Newport just off I-91 a few miles south of the Canadian border.
The golf course saunters over a scenic setting in the Northeast Kingdom overlooking Lake Memphremagog to the North as well as Jay Peak and Willoughby Gap to its West and South. The layout is characterized by tree lined fairways with a modest change in elevation, slight doglegs, and a moderate amount of sand bunkers both greenside as well as in the landing zones off the tee. It's an historic course as it started as a 9 holer in the early 1920s with the second nine added in the 1960s, designed by Howard Watson. The routing is a par of 72, 6,470 yards from the tips, 69.4/104, course/slope ratings with three shorter tee boxes.
