About Newport News Golf Club at Deer Run
Deer Run is a championship layout designed by Ed Ault, stretching to 7,206 yards from the back tees and offering a stiff test for even seasoned players.
The holes are carved through stands of Virginia hardwoods, so each fairway is largely screened from the next and groups seldom come into view of one another. White-tailed deer and other wildlife are common sights along the course, which is listed on the National Audubon Society registry.
