 Tradition and charm are the main selling points at Newport Beach Country Club. Established: 1954 Designers: William P. and William F. Bell 6,584 yards, Par 71 Amenities: If members want to play tennis or have access to a private beach, they can take advantage of the close proximity to the Balboa Bay Club. Why it’s on our list: It’s a traditional, tree-lined course that is void of any gimmicks or trick shots. It lays out right in front of you and, though it challenges some of the best players in the world at the annual Champions Tour’s Toshiba Classic, it’s just as appealing to high handicappers. It can easily be walked, is located less than a mile from the ocean and is a short distance to shopping meccas South Coast Plaza and Fashion Island. The course’s relationship with the Champions Tour and the Hoag Hospital Foundation has raised more than $12 million over 15 years, making it the most successful event in terms of raising charity dollars on that tour. About half of the tournament’s 1,000 volunteers are drawn from club members or their families. Bet you didn’t know: The club debuted as the Irvine Coast Country Club in 1954. Wow factor: Located in the center of one of the most affluent areas in the country, it offers an understated country club experience. “We do have a lot of affluent members and our service level and course quality are exceptional, but I think the members like it because it is more low-key than a lot of others,” said president and chief operating officer Perry Dickey.
