Reviews for Royal New Kent Golf Club

Jan 2024

I’ve played RNK a couple times. I am a huge fan of Mike Strantz golf courses and, this one is one of his best. Each hole has picturesque qualities. No matter which tee you play from you will be in for a challenge. If you play smart golf and manage the course you’ll score well. Go for the “hero” shots and you will struggle. I highly recommend this course if you are in the Richmond area. It’s always in superb condition even in the winter season.

Fun course. Many blind shots to test your confidence. Greens were slow and bumpy for our group of scratch golfers, but maybe people who are new or just don't know any better won't care.

The course layout is nice. There are a lot of elevation changes and undulations. With that being said, they place the pins in locations that are illegal and try to prop up the "difficulty" of the course. Any course can play insanely difficult if you place the pin on a spine or edge of a shelf. All this does is slow down play. Place the holes in regulation positions, and this would be a much better experience.

From Royal New Kent Golf Club

Royal New Kent Golf Club is a Michael Strantz designed championship course open to the public. Strantz modeled it after two of his favorite Irish courses, Royal County Down and Ballybunion. The course and clubhouse had a major renovation and reopened in March of 2019. The renovation won one of Golf Inc. Magazine's 2020 Renovation of the Year awards. The Strantz Pub, located in the clubhouse, is open daily for lunch with indoor and outdoor seating. The pub has beautiful views of the 10th and 18th holes. Golf Ireland in Virginia!
