Royal New Kent Golf Club

7hc. Familiar Strantz design-lots of up/down and somewhat blind tee shots and approach shots. For winter, the conditions were really excellent. Much better than other area courses. Fairways were dry and the greens really smooth and true. If you play the right tees, and keep it out of the bunkers, it's very playable. Misses are very penal, though. I had the place almost to myself and had a blast.

I remember this course and how challenging it was. Not for the faint of heart.

Great course layout. Pace of play was an issue. Although it was off season and there were a lot of singles behind 3 and 4 somes creating an issue on pace of play. Suggest teaming these singles together to improve everyone’s experience. Nearly hit twice even though we were waiting on a walking single that insisted on playing the champion tees!

Absolutely terrific experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and the warm-up area was top tier. The course is in fantastic shape and presented me with challenges I’ve never faced in my 15 years of golfing. An awesome day!

One of the best courses I've ever played, with outstanding conditions (and very fast greens) for February despite the colder weather for the last month, even in southern Virgina.

The layout is fair but you must control you shots, or be a far above average player to score. Not being used to Bermuda grass, even low and dormant, I had to struggle to control chip shots around the green and was somewhat frustrated by the lack of rollout in the fairways, making the course play even longer. But scoring wasn't the point for me and as long as you just enjoy each hole on its own merit -- and there are no bad holes -- and play the correct tee box for your skill level, it's great to play on a course good enough to host pro events if called upon.

I played my second nine with the course's general manager, who opted that slow Friday afternoon on a warm day to "play a few holes" which turned into a very pleasant whole side. Very friendly guy who clearly loved his course and it deserve the accolades.

Making full use of the natural terrain, setting up some blind shots but generally shorter ones with just a wedge, this course creates a holistic golf experience for anyone with a steady enough game (or enough extra golf balls) to shot a forgettable score and still treasure the day. It's a must play if in the Richmond / Williamsburg area.

If in the Williamsburg/Richmond area you have to play this course once. But a warning…….it is hard.

You need some balls, if you spray it you aren’t finding it on some holes.

Very unique course with beautiful holes. Large greens, but none are flat. You will 4 putt from time to time.

The bunkers need some work, but I haven’t played a course in 2 years that the bunkers didn’t need some work.

Usually, you can get around the course on a weekday seeing very few groups.

Wonderful creative Strantz course on a terrific piece of land. By far my favorite course to play while on vacation in the area.

One of the most interesting and different courses I have ever played. Plays tough, would absolutely recommend to a friend because it’s in great shape and to see the look on their faces at the shots you have to hit here.

This is the best I've seen Royal New Kent in at least 6 months! Greens were perfect, Fairways were great! Nice to see them get back to the way things were before.

This place is a dream. it’s the most challenging course i’ve plagued in Virginia and i love everything about it.

Enjoyed everything about the course….. Joined Associate Member program with 3 of my buddies..
