Greens could’ve been a little faster but rolled fine. Considering the time of year I can’t complain about a thing, glad the course upkeep is continuing
A Class Place
Staff was accommodating and attentive. Conditions of the course were great. A class establishment. Needs yardage books, but the tip sheet was super helpful. Thumbs up, I’ll be back for sure.
Fantastic Design and Incredibly challenging
There's just something about a Mike Strantz design. So much creativity where no hole is the same as the next. So much thinking and every hole gives you a risk/reward option. However, very difficult if you aren't striking the ball well. Course was in great shape and service was fantastic. Only issue was that there was about a 40 minute wait at the turn but I think that's just a result of an outing in the morning.
Great fun golf course.
Always enjoyable. The new ownership has made Mike Strantz happy for sure!
Exceptional!
It all started with the very friendly and helpful Starter ... in fact the entire staff was outstanding. Very nice course - wouldn’t want to walk it, as it can be very long and challenging. This course hit all the major high notes you’d want to see in a golf experience.
Well done!
Bring your A game and imagination for real.
Thank you Taylor for cleaning my irons after my round. Very nice staff, carts were clean with towels and USB!
First time playing Royal NK from the tips, not bad. A lot of room to drive, but have to knock it far. Had some great lies too a lot of fluff. Challenging against a hill though.
Tee boxes are even level so you can keep your balance, draw friendly. A lot of blind shots, but fun, 18 tricked me a little, read you scorecard! Great wildlife saw a turkey, rabbit, and I think a bear.
Par 5s are awesome and most par 3s are downhill and can knock it easy. A couple groups let me play through which was great.
Fun course to play
What a fun golf course to play and it was in great shape for this time or year, particularly compared to courses in the area I have been playing this last week.
Interesting hole layouts, and great views.
I will definitely return to improve my score now that I have seen the course.
Always beautiful!!
This is an amazing course and it is always challenging me on different types of shots! The greens are now in great shape!
Awesome course worth playing, very challenging.
This is a very challenging, but fun course to play. The fairways were in good condition and the greens were in excellent condition. Some traps needed grooming, but I will attribute that to covid precautions (although there were rakes out). The course was hilly with several greens that were extremely elevated and there are many blind shots. The only complaint I have as a first time player is that the score card did not have the hole layouts, so from the tee and even on occasion the fairway is was difficult to know the layout of the hole. In fairness to that, the fairway landing areas are mostly generous. I would definitely play this course again if I return to this area.
Outstanding interestingly tricky layout. Expect the unexpected when playing for the 1st time.
Our 3some all seniors found this course in excellent condition. The layout and elevation change are demanding at time. Yet the course is very playable. The first time playing save a few strokes and drive forward to check out the lay of the land and study where you want to hit to. Playing the senior tees it is possible on several holes the green can be reached but are totally blind shots so if your a gambler have fun finding your ball.
WHAT A COURSE
Exciting, terrifying, shocking, and exhilarating. My friends and I still talk about a couple of the holes here. The whole course is an adventure from the hidden valleys of the fist hole to the Nike swooshing second hole. What an experience but we are still very much scarred. Play well and play smart or else...
Fantastic course.
Wish I didn't live 300 miles away. Played here on a stop off from NY to Myrtle. One of the best links courses I've ever played. Must play if in the area.
Unforgettable challenge
One would be hard pressed to find a sterner test ,this masterpiece never lets up .Greens are excellent with very few ball marks.. Absolutely a must play .
Toughest test
A real golf course. Wide fairways, but trouble lurks. Dramatic elevation changes and blind shots. Tricky greens! A great tough golf course!
Royalty
Green rolled perfect!!! Only course in the area that has some grass in the fairway. Absolutely love this course!!! You won't be disappointed!!
Another great Strantz design
If you like Mike Strantz designs this will not disappoint.
Risk and rewards, blind shots, tall mounds, challenging greens and lots of fun.
Nice and peaceful when I played early in the morning.
Tom the starter had some great tips.
Entire staff that I came across was very gracious and helpful.
Excellent value for the price.
I’ll definetly be back when things green up a little more.
