Royal New Kent Golf Club

The course is beautiful. It has a very interesting layout. It can be very challenging for a golfer like myself who is lacking in skills. Plan on donating some golf balls to the forced carry holes.

Fantastic course! Quite a challenge for newcomers like my friend and me, but let me tell you, it was an absolute blast playing on such a stunning course. The only downside was the lack of a beverage cart person to help us stay hydrated, especially with the scorching heat we were playing in.

Great course, in great shape. Greens were quick, fairways were pure, and the bunkers were decent. Super fun layout, but not for the faint of heart. Really tough course for anyone above ~12 handicap. Lots of forced carries, blind shots, and tough holes. But somehow it is all fair and not gimmicky

The round took 5 and a half hours. Maybe the longest round I ever played. Spent 10 minutes on every tee box waiting on the group ahead. The course needs rangers to keep the pace. Slow play definitely spoiled would could be a great round.

The course has a lot of unexpected twists and turns that you would expect from a Strantz designed course. The tees fairways and greens were all in pretty good shape although a few spots on the course were a little rough around the edges. The bunkers need a little attention but we just played rake and place which worked fine. The pace of play was fine. The staff was friendly. The carts have really spongy breaks so get comfortable with them before you hit some of the big downhills. There are plenty of tee options to fit any type of player.

I absolutely love the layout. Strantz was a genius in seeing holes with the existing topography. Greens were fast and true. A few of the tee boxes were really chewed up, but didn't affect play. My only complaint was paying $100 for a round, then being forced to pay $5 for a small bucket of balls. This really cheapend the course. Other than that, great experience.

Many of the bunkers were filled with water making them water hazards, not sand traps.

The score card did not have any helpful pictures to show the golfer where the fairway went, left, right or if there were gullies or streams you had to hit over.

The golf carts definitely should have had GPS with it to give you a fighting chance of the yardage.

Too many blind shots without any pole to give the golfer a direction as to where to hit the ball.

This course was much too difficult and I would not recommend it to anyone unless they have the course on their phone to tell yardages/distances.

Nice course with great layout. Challenging holes with tough greens.

76 yrs old, too tough for me. Nephew and his son would like to play it again. I have played tobacco road in pinehurst and found it similar. I will not play it again either.

Most challenging round of golf ever and it didn't take away from the beautiful experience
