Newport Country Club
Newport, AR · Founded
Newport Country Club is a private golf club in Newport, Arkansas, designed by A. W. Tillinghast in 1893. The club has 18 holes, a par of 70.
A.W. Tillinghast brought his sophisticated eastern sensibilities to Arkansas Delta country in this 1893 original, where cotton fields once stretched to every horizon. His strategic bunkering and green complexes seem almost Victorian in their formal precision.

About Newport Country Club
Tillinghast's work in Arkansas represents some of his most understated design, where subtle movements in the flat Delta terrain create playing angles that aren't obvious from the tee. The course has survived Mississippi River floods and economic downturns that claimed other Delta clubs. Ancient live oaks draped in Spanish moss give the layout an almost Gothic atmosphere rare in Tillinghast's portfolio.
