The Newport Beach (Calif.) Country Club’s offering of patio features provides a unique experience for members that helped the site earn a high-level rating in the 2023 Club + Resort Business Top Ranked Patios program.

Newport Beach (Calif.) Country Club is focused on creating a special culture and coastal vibe that translates into memorable experiences for its members. 

The club’s offering of patio features that provide a unique experience for visitors helped the site earn a high-level rating in the 2023 Club + Resort Business Top Ranked Patios program.

Melanie Stacklie, the club’s Training and Project Manager, says she and her colleagues are “extremely excited” to receive the honor from C+RB.

“It adds to the awards and recognition that our cubhouse has achieved since opening in 2016,” Stacklie says. “Our clubhouse has so many remarkable features, and Seahorse Patio is perhaps the best spot at the club.”

Stacklie adds the Seahorse Patio exemplifies the uniqueness of both the club and the city of Newport Beach.

“The patio embodies our club culture and the coastal vibe of Newport Beach, which is a quiet relaxed city where you’re more likely to see the harbor patrol than the highway patrol, and you hear more birds than automobiles,” Stacklie notes.

There is plenty of scenery for members and guests to enjoy on the Seahorse Patio.

“The patio has a view of the golf course on one side and the ocean on the other,” Stacklie says. “It has a large firepit that members love to gather around to enjoy the sunsets.”

In addition, there is an indoor/outdoor bar with multiple TVs that provides a great place to watch games. Great service from the employees and plenty of entertainment can also be found on the Seahorse Patio.

“With our smiling team members and live music six nights a week, the atmosphere is impossible to beat,” Stacklie says.
