The rooms the house favors — the harbors and fairways at the top of the local order. Listings are the house's own selection; no partnership is implied.
Founded 1922 at 1801 Bayside Drive, at the harbor entrance. Racing fleets, a Catalina outstation, and the Thursday-night crowd — Newport yachting at its oldest guard.
The harbor's historic racing house at 720 West Bay Avenue. Regattas, junior sailing lineage, and a clubhouse that has seen a century of Newport summers.
Founded 1959 at 1601 Bayside Drive. Slips to 80 feet, ocean racing roots — and the first West Coast America's Cup contender came out of this house.
A private club at 1 Big Canyon Drive, in the Big Canyon enclave. An 18-hole championship course, fine dining, tennis and fitness — Newport's inner-circle country club.
Established 1954. An 18-hole, par-71 course and the home of the Hoag Classic on the PGA Tour Champions — tournament golf in the middle of town.
36 Tom Fazio holes above the Pacific, nearly all with ocean panoramas. Five-star resort golf at the top end of the coast.
Orange County's longstanding private country club — golf, tennis and a full clubhouse life, minutes from Newport Beach.
Gated, top-flight golf set in a canyon preserve in Irvine. Quiet, private, and deliberately hard to get into.
Two house leagues, scored on real results — no house odds, no invented numbers. Standings live at the table and in the Forum rooms: The Paddock for Formula 1, The Harbor for sailing.
Pick your drivers and constructor before lights out. Points settle on official Grand Prix results — qualifying, race finish, fastest lap — with the table updated after every round and a season champion crowned at the finale.
Join the league

A standing table for owners, investors, and operators — capital, introductions, and partnerships, arranged by the house.
The table brings live opportunities — acquisitions, partnerships, capital. No cold pitches, no solicitation; the house curates who sits down.
The house connects people across industries and balance sheets. In this room, the right introduction is the whole point.
Market notes from the table — sectors moving, deals closed, and the warnings worth hearing before the quarter turns.
Seats go to established owners, investors, and executives whose standing the house has verified. Nothing more is asked, nothing less.
Our resident aficionado rates this season's boxes — what to smoke, what to cellar, what to bring to the table.

Read →House Gentry started with a simple observation: Newport Beach has the best rooms, the best water, and the best light in California — and no single house gathering the people who live for all three. This is that house. Evenings on the harbor, mornings on the fairways, a business table worth sitting at, and two prediction leagues for the joy of calling it right. The first season is being arranged now. Join the list, and we'll see you at the table.
