Royal New Kent Golf Club

A lot of the greens are unputtable. Growth on greens needs to be solved before you fork over $70+ for a round.

First time played in April. Course has amazing layout. First 2 holes and last 2 holes were very challenging. Everyhone has amazing views and challenges. Fairways and rough were a little dried out but may just be time of year. Most greens in good conditions with true rolls. It was pretty windy when I played. Would love to go back. I recommend getting the course layout book in the proshop. If it’s your first time there.

Very challenging. Nice layout and greens were in good condition.

Greens had Poa Annua ( I do believe ) growing up in them …..some way worse than others. A few greens closer to the clubhouse appeared to be cut so really didn’t make a difference, others appeared not to be cut and my ball looked like it was going through a plinko game

I hope you can kill that grass growing throughout the back nine greens. Really affects putting. Coming back at the end of April and hope greens are better.

The course itself was very good excepts for the greens. The back nine was almost unplayable. Tufts of crabgrass everywhere 1/8 inch to 1/4 higher than the green surface. Fix the greens and I would gladly return, but not until then.

Played as part of a 4some. A very good, challenging course, but truthfully, not one to play in wet, soggy conditions. Cart use was limited to cartpath only advancement, which made for long walks, which made for a long round. The course layout is awesome and I really enjoyed putting these greens. Will definitely play again in dy conditions.

22 years ago we discovered Royal New Kent on a golf trip to Williamsburg. After 1 round we cancelled all prearranged rounds at other courses and played all our rounds at Royal New Kent exclusively.

It is a true test of golf. Now at 67 years old and moving up to the white tees I enjoyed every minute of the round. the greens were in wonderful shape and the fairways were very good considering heavy rain the previous day. If you want to experience golf the way it is meant to be played...book a round and I am sure you will return. To say the least it is a challenging golf course....but one you will want to play over and over again.

Amazing design

Tough to figure out on first run through.

In great shape for winter.

Greens in great shape. Small patches of weeds in random lines.

Fairways and bunkers best I’ve seen in the winter.

Rough and OB were well kept, able to find all balls.

Expensive but worth it if above average golfer. Average or beginners will not have as much fun and appreciate the challenges.
