Royal New Kent Golf Club

Stranzian lay out - challenging, visually pleasing with links characteristics but some holes run through residential areas. Several tee boxes available but make sure you play up. I am a low hcp but did not dare to play the back tees and I am glad I didn't. Course features a few blind shots but overall really challenging. First hole is quite difficult. Course conditions OK for this time of the year. Greens a little furry/slow but not too bad. Overall, a must play but if you are high handicapper bring plenty of balls.

Probably the best Mike Strantz design by far! Beautiful course layout, with multiple places to tee it up! If you are anywhere near the Richmond area, I highly recommend this course for anyones future rounds!

Every time I visit Williamsburg I play this course. This course shows it's teeth from the start,

make sure you put it on your play list.

Played here after a rain in the morning and was cart path only. Fairways were wet and matted down.

Greens in good shape. Looking forward to playing here again when weather is better and fairways have more grass to hit off of.

This was such a fun layout. Several holes were blind tee shots and the greens are huge. Although the are very large they have dramatic elevation changes in them which for a very difficult put when you hit the wrong part of the green. Several greens have false fronts which also adds to the trickery. I really enjoyed the layout and would play it again if I was back in the area.

I was fortunate to play on a day when the course was wet following a heavy rainstorm the night before. I took the golf pro's advice and picked a tee box to play based on the course slope and not the distance- which was the white tees. This made the course a little short for me and if I get to play next time I will play from the black tees.

Play the correct tees for your skills and you will have a great time, course makes you think on every shot. Good conditions, friendly staff and the great course all made for a really fun round.

Just way too tough a course for a mid handicapper. Blind shots, forced carries, uneven lies, and ridiculously tough greens. Hazards all ovrer and thorny bushes to boot. I can see why a scratch golfer would like the challenge and it is a visually stunning course. Played on a Sunday morning and the round took 5.5 hours! The pace was excruciating.

But fair. Greens were like countertops. Staff was welcoming. Ready to return

This course was too challenging for my skill. I really enjoyed the course, but I will really need to work on my skill level before I return. Most of the fairways are very tight. Greens are fast and depending on pin placement you can find your ball rolling off into a bunker or back out on the fairway if your putt is too long. A lot of the bunkers are deep making it difficult to hit out and onto the green. If you are a better than average golfer you will really enjoy this course. Otherwise, bring lots of balls!

So happy I played this course.

Although very difficult, and super fast greens it is the best golf experience one will ever have, regardless of score. I will be back foe sure !

Waited 20 minutes before a starter could be found. Was told the bathrooms indoors were out of order, but that there were plenty of porta-John’s on the course (there were 2). There was no water available on the course. Didn’t see any ball cleaners either. That’s the bad. The course itself is a masterpiece though. Hands down the most difficult course I have ever played, but I would happily return to get my butt kicked again. I would also recommend playing this course to anyone who even remotely loves the game.
