In great shape

I’ve played this course a handful of times and this round was the best shape I’ve ever seen it in. In a month it’s going to be perfect. The layout of this course makes it one of the most challenging in the area, which I like. Love playing here, I’ll be back!!

Good first impression

First time playing Royal New Kent after hearing nothing but amazing things. Golf course did not disappoint. Pace of play was brutal though. Took 5 1/2 hours for 18 holes, mostly due to the driving distance between holes, but also party due to the difficulty of the track. Staff was great, Surprised there was no drink cart however given that it was a packed Friday.

No other course like this in VA

This course is a must play. It’s an absolute gem of a course tucked out in the New Kent area. It was of course challenging but it was still enjoyable to play here. The layout is just incredible and reminded me of Tobacco Road in NC.

This course was very challenging.

Very hilly, open course. This course was extremely challenging. A lot of walking. We did 9 holes and we were exhausted. If your bucket list is to play in Ireland this is the State version of it.

Great course! It’s as fast as they lay out the tee times. Staff moved GOLFNOW tee time from 9:40 to 10:10 to compensate for overbooking but we still got on.

Great experience!

I played on a gorgeous New Year's Eve with my two sons, and we could not have had a better time. Everyone is very friendly and helpful, the cost is minimal compared to other courses, and the links layout is a one-of-a-kind challenge. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Mike Strantz Course

Although we played in late December, the course was a great challenge and enjoyable to play. Can’t wait to play again when the fairways are green.

Royal New Kent

Cart path only is more challenging as the paths tend to wander away from the field of play at times. Greens physically in great shape given off-season play. Dye or colored fertilizer made reading break more challenging. Overall a must play for public golf.
