Carolyn Newton

I've been retired for 8 years now and getting back into playing golf regularly.  My husband and I moved from New Mexico to Bella Vista in October 2021.  We are enjoying the wonderful people and all the amenities this area offers.  I love the zumba and water fitness classes and especially enjoy walking all the great trails in Bella Vista.  

We have 3 children,  2 grandchildren and 2 dogs. I enjoy traveling and visiting family. My husband and I both enjoy going to bluegrass festivals and any kind of sporting events especially baseball and football.

I had the pleasure of playing the scramble on Monday as a guest of Karen  Casey.   I would like to join the group. 

I look forward to a fun season. 

Since I don’t have a handicap… I’ll need to follow up with that asap. 

I’m a beginner golfer. 

I have been in Arkansas since 1981 and relocated to NWA in 2014. My husband, Chris, and I have 3 grown daughters (31, 34, and 37) and 4 grandchildren. I have been a realtor for 8 years and am passionate about serving my clients with excellence. When I am not working, I enjoy playing golf, hiking, camping, fishing, and riding the Greenway.

My husband and I moved to BV last summer and we love it here. When I’m not playing golf with my spouse, I enjoy paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, volunteering for AAS and hosting family. We have two children and three grandchildren that live in Dallas. 

My husband, Daniel, and I moved to Bella Vista in 2004 from Kansas City.  We have 5 kids, 15 grandkids, and 1 great grandchild.

I worked as a Global Director of Project Management (Pharmaceutical Clinical Studies)

We are members of New Life Christian Chuch.  I play cello in the Praise Band.

My hobbies are quilting, crafts, camping.  We belong to Main Mission RVs - RVs on a Mission and volunteer at Christian camps and churches doing repairs, maintenance, building, cleaning, painting, whatever is needed.
