Kings Mill Golf Club

I appreciate hearing about the new owners in the last decade - but for $60 on the weekend - I expected much, much more for that price. In fact, there was a Par 3 on the back nine where I stuck my drive on the front of the "brown". Yes, you read that right - not the green - the brown. It was so diseased and beat up - I putted off sand/dirt. Very disappointing.

Only played the front 9 so far, but was very impressed with the conditions for the price. I walked, so I can't speak for the carts, but no reason to think they're not fine. Had no pace issues at all. Have already booked my second tee time at Kings Mill.

A true king serves his people—and this course certainly serves its patrons.

The Staff

This family-run golf course has some of the kindest people you’ll meet. Every staff member was friendly, welcoming, and made a point to acknowledge your presence. While golf may be a challenging sport, great customer service is what keeps players coming back—and it’s the reason I’m happy to make nearly an hour-long drive to play here a couple of times each year.

The Experience

Despite the rain, the course maintained liberal cart rules for the day, which was a real treat. (Momma Bouche may have said “Cart Path Only is the devil!”… though I might also be misquoting Happy Gilmore.)

The golfers here also seem to understand proper etiquette—which is always appreciated. As the saying goes: if you’re going to play bad, play bad fast.

The course itself is sneakily challenging. It may not overwhelm you at first glance, but it definitely demands thoughtful shot-making and keeps things interesting throughout the round.

A Small Critique

My only gripe is that the course is still working through some renovations. About a quarter of the tee boxes were under repair (and honestly, they looked to be in great shape already). I generally wish courses would offer a slight discount when amenities or course conditions are temporarily limited.

That said, one staff member seemed genuinely excited to show off their new free hitting bays, which are fantastic. Any course without a traditional driving range should seriously consider adding something like this—and offering it for free. (Cough cough… Rolling Meadows.)

Final Thoughts

King’s Mill offers a great overall golf experience: a well-kept and challenging course, fair pricing, and genuinely welcoming service. It’s easy to see why players return here, and I’m already looking forward to my next round—especially once gas prices cooperate.

I’d recommend this course 100%. The course had some personality to it and no two holes were the same. Plus, their replay rate after 18 was $10 for another 9.

The green specifically were in great condition which surprised for being late in the season.

Nice day. Good course conditions. Few slow people.

We were first out. Waited on the gentlemen cutting the first green but then rolled through 2.5 hr round. Course was in good shape. Hole #11 needs some trees cut to get the tee box some more grass. Othen then that it played well. Enjoy
