Description

Royal New Kent is one of Virginia’s most distinctive public courses, famous for a bold, links-inspired design that looks and plays unlike typical tree-lined parkland golf in the state. The course features large, undulating fairways, dramatic green complexes, and strong strategic shaping that rewards creativity and thoughtful ground-game play. It can feel very challenging on a first visit because the visuals are intimidating and the contours demand commitment and confidence. Wind and firm conditions amplify the links-style character, making club selection and trajectory control crucial. Overall, Royal New Kent is a “must-play” for architecture lovers—unique, dramatic, and capable of being both thrilling and punishing.

Royal New Kent is the most visually stunning and challenging course I’ve played to date. The course was designed by Mike Strantz and is a tribute to the links style courses found in Ireland. The layout is extremely difficult and features wide undulating fairways, more than 100 deep and rugged pot bunkers, severely sloping multi tiered greens, and thick fescue rough that is sure to swallow errant shots. The conditions of the course were amazing and the staff were very polite making for one of the most memorable rounds of golf I’ve ever had.

One of the most unique, beautiful, and outrageous courses I've played on the East Coast. A Mike Strantz fever dream. We played in early November and the course was in immaculate condition. So many blind shots, winding "fairways," and the natural environment incorporated beautifully. Worth the trip!

Tough layout. Cart path only which made for a long arduous day. Two birdies made it more enjoyable. Starter never told us cart path only but carts kept you off the fairways. Range closed too. Jessica at bar was great.

Nearly cancelled my tee time when I saw the course slope rating, but sure glad I didn’t! The course was by far the toughest I’ve ever played (16 handicap) but the most enjoyable. I used nearly every club in my bag and had to think through every shot. While not a classically beautiful and green fairway track ( I did play in February) it had its own unique beauty. The staff was awesome! I was a solo woman golfer and they welcomed me as if I was a dear friend! I Can’t say enough about the entire experience. I will definitely be back and can’t wait to take another run at it!

This place is a great golf experience. I played here on Wednesday and the greens were, by far, the best I've played on this year. The Bermuda grass fairways were also lush and provided great lies for iron shots. The visuals from the tee boxes are spectacular...Stranz at his best. It's a tough but fair challenge and well worth it!!
