Royal New Kent Golf Club

Im from Boston played here in 2012 and always wanted to play again so I did. New management company is doing a great job with this course. Greens are some of the best Ive putted extremely difficult but they roll true. Played in 2-3 club you already need your A game to play this course the wind gave you the feeling you were play the Irish Open.

The beauty forced me to fully commit to my shots. It requires my patients just to get ready to hit my ball when the wind slightly die down. It made me a strategic hitter where to put my balls onto the next. I truly enjoyed playing the course that I joined a second round with my husband.

Very nice pure golf course. You will be challenged to hit all types of shots. The Bermuda greens are large but sometimes very narrow. A great course, make sure to bring your A game.. Will be back!

I drove down from DC to play and really enjoyed the challenge. If you can’t hit your drive 270+ it’s an almost impossible course from the Invicta tees. This Mike Strantz layout is amazing, long but with the same flair as the ones in NC. .

The only problem with the course is the fairway, which looked and felt more like a low cost muni than a world class club.

One of the most beautiful and challenging greens I have ever seen.

This is a definite must play bucket list course. Beautiful views and the most challenging greens. Great staff too.

I had a awesome time at royal new kent golf course. The people are friendly and the course is challenging. I would definitely recommend this course to others.

Royal New Kent Golf Course and Club is one of the best places we have played! The course is difficult which makes it that much more fun! The conditions were amazing, even out of peak season. The staff at the club is the nicest we have met out of the dozen courses we have been to. My husband and I have played here twice and this is my favorite course hands down.

Very fun course if you like the links style of golf courses.

Only glaring omission is that there were virtually zero yardage markers anywhere besides the tee box. On a course like that you must have yardage markers somewhere. Other than that no complaints. Great course.

The new champion Bermuda greens are the best in Richmond area...roll true and will receive a well struck shirt iron shot. Fairways are starting to green up and will easily be the best 18 holes in this part of Virginia. Will happily travel the hour each way to play here again!

I've reviewed this course many, many times but I always like to provide an update whenever warranted. SO much has been said about how fun a layout this is (and it's all true!) and how challenging it is (especially the first three and last three holes), so I won't go into all of that here again.

The conditions are very good right now. Still a couple soggy spots in the predictable places but the bunker sand has settled in and the sand traps look and play amazing now.

Greens are rolling a little slower than I expected (they've been as fast as 11.5-12 during previous visits) but the course difficulty is high enough without runaway putts so I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. The ball still rolls smoothly, that's the important thing.

A wonderful staff and very competitive pricing make it an easy decision to come an hour from the west side of Richmond to play and many of my Twitter friends who live up by DC or further have all said they think it's worth the trip for them, I couldn't agree more!

Super fun course, the layout is fantastic and the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere is wonderful. Lots of holes without a house or sign of civilization in sight.

First let me explain that golf played safely during these covid19 times is a safe fantastic outlet from day to day stress. They folks at Royal New Kent have a beautiful & immaculately clean clubhouse and from starter to clubhouse manager& bartender treated us top notch and were very friendly. The couse was in pristine condition except for a few really elevated bunkers. Greens were huge& very undulated running around 11-12. Fairways &tee boxes in great shape as well.. This would be a tough course to walk but ride from one green to next lead to the anticipation of tackling the next spectacular adventure on this 18 hole tour. Fantastic day,fantastic course and staff that could not have made us feel more welcome. Thanks for great time enjoying your club.

it was great starting on the first hole. The course is so very curious and fun. The challenge is unlocking the mind of the designer Michael Strantz. I loved it. Cannot wait to play again. In fact I am researching his courses in hopes of playing most of them.

Staff (excluding lady behind the food counter) were great.

This is my first time back some the refurbishment was completed last year. I would never had paid $100 rack rate for this course before the refurbishment, but I will now willingly. I got a deal on the green fees and that's what brought me and my friends here today. The course is in immaculate shape from the 1st tee box to the 18th green. Tom the starter was personable and nice. The GM Chris was a pleasure to speak with after our round and saw him a couple times making rounds to make sure pace of play was being kept up. The clubhouse was pristine, and the restaurant had good food at the turn. The practice, and chipping greens with the driving range were all in excellent shape. They are doing a fantastic job with all the Covid-19 issues going on, asking us to social distance, and 0utting pool noodles in the cups. I have absolutely no complaints, and only complements about the course. I will be returning soon.

Bring your A game. You will use every club in your bag. Lots of elevation changes in the layout. You will find yourself with uphill, downhill and sidehill lies most of the day. Especially if you haven't played it before and know where to hit it to. Pro shop said the greens average 13 on the stimp meter.

I just love playing at this course! It is beautiful and challenging!

First time down there and I can’t wait to get back there. The staff was great and the course was better.

Great course. Condition fantastic. Layout amazing. Fun test of the game. I will play there a bunch more.
