Golf in Newport

Newport is the seat of Lincoln County and the central Oregon coast's primary city, a community built around a working fishing harbor, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, and the Hatfield Marine Science Center — making it one of the few coastal cities with both a significant commercial fishing fleet and a major research institution. Yaquina Bay divides the city between the Bayfront district and the Nye Beach neighborhood, and the surrounding coastal terrain includes dramatic headlands at Cape Perpetua to the south and Yaquina Head to the north. Golf in Newport serves both the resident population and the coastal visitor trade, in conditions shaped by the Pacific's year-round marine influence.
