GREAT COURSE - BUT, TOO TOUGH FOR AVERAGE GOLFER
The course is beautiful. staff is excellent. course is severe target golf, I mean PINPOINT. If you're a great golfer, fine; but if you're an 85-100 shooter, add at least 10 strokes. Not a long course, but too tough for a 90's shooter.
Not worth the Price it used to be affordable
Played this course over 50 times and was a member years ago. This place has sky rocketed in price. The greens are made out like hard pan sod and brown in color super fast with several weeds growing through on certain holes. Not to mention they have fairway grass problems on 17. Bunkers are better then they used to be. I just don’t understand the price. This new ownership is driving it straight back into the ground because there is no way they are getting the play for the price unless they are more catering to out of towners or people that have never played it before. Why do you think Brickshires parking lot is so packed and when you ride by ? royal you see no one but a few cars. It’s the price and the conditions that sets them apart. This guy charges 98$ and has no deals after 12pm on any day. 9 holes is outrageous. It’s sad because at a decent rate that course would be booming. I’m sure they are looking to sell again or just trying to pocket as much as they can before they start to let it go and run out of money. It’s sad because it was a great place to play and it’s a challenge.
What happened to this course?
I tried to give this course another try after a lackluster experience earlier this year, but amazingly I think it’s actually gotten worse.
Because the greens have not recovered from the winter, they were punched a few weeks back and top dressed yesterday. Good luck making any putts outside of 2 feet.
The fairways are in terrible condition, the greens are semi spongy with mold on some of them, and the tee boxes are very lumpy from the new sod installed a month or so ago.
I love the layout of the course and it’s a good challenge, but the overall experience is worth about $35-40 right now.
I won’t go back until later in the year and hope it’s all back to normal.
Great Course
What a hidden gem! Course and staff were both top notch!
Hi DaveG24,
Thank you for your kind words and feedback on our staff! See you again soon.
Beautiful but pricey
Beautiful golf course but we're on the fence playing again until they lower the price or fix the course. Maintenance appears lacking on a few holes and fairways, which are beat up or under repair. And no drink cart available the entire round, although the 2 complimentary waters were very welcome!
Hi rkmarini,
We appreciate your feedback and do hope that you check us out again as we continue to improve conditions coming off a tough winter/spring for the Bermudagrass. We're glad you took advantage of the free water in the cart!
Hot day
The greens were just starting to come in after air rating and was difficult to putt. No one was on course. During this time I believe prices should be lowered. Not many people playing so no wait time. Course is very challenging.
Thanks for playing and we appreciate your feedback about your experience. Come back soon when the greens are back to great shape!
Royal New Kent
This course does not disappoint. An amazing course layout with a tremendous staff. I played the front on Friday evening and then 36 on Saturday. Thanks to Bob in the pro shop for being so accommodating! Great course and a must play!
Hi kapp2663,
That sounds like a wonderful weekend! Thank you for your kind words about Bob!
Tough
This by far the toughest course I’ve played and one of the most beautiful courses
For the experience
I play here once a year...as if golf isn't humbling enough. This is a course like no other; BORDERLINE gimmicky........you'll want to paint your face like William Wallace before teeing off.
This course is a true gem, incredible design, and aside from some damage on a few fairways, is in very good condition.
Ridiculously hard, ridiculously penal.....and a ton of fun.
Nice staff, and had the course to myself on July 4.
Very nice round. When busy it's always a 5 hour round, there are bottlenecks that the club will need to figure out at some point.
Hi millerri,
We appreciate your feedback and kind words. See you again soon!
A pleasant surprise on an unplanned golf day!
Very friendly staff!
We started a little late due to cutting and rolling of the greens.
Not crowded on a Friday morning!
I don't know if they allow walking, it's quite a long course!
Unbelievably beautiful location!
A lot of blind corners and green, it's kind of challenging. Use an app to view overhead imagery to get a good understanding of the course.
I'd definitely play there again.
Hi Furnissg,
Thank you for your kinds words and feedback! Looking forward to having you again soon.
They lost it..
Greens had cauliflower in-em..they tried to cover up with sand...fairways were burnt out..no grass-i actually found grass in the wood-
I tee-up and a guy on the mower sat right there, I was the guest..not him-dont get me wrong the course from view is spectacular!! We just need someone there who knows how to grow grass-
Because of the shape the guy should of said..ya know here's a free round for next time let's see if we can get her back...where it wasn't burnt out it was under water..unplayable-
Hi u557451069,
Thank you for your feedback. We are working hard every day to make Royal New Kent the best experience possible for every golfer. We suffered in some areas coming out of the winter months with the cold overnight temperatures affecting the growth of our Bermudagrass. We have Bermudagrass across our entire golf course, Tees/Fairways/Rough/Greens. The grass you noticed in the greens is a type of Poa annua grass that grows until the Bermudagrass is growing enough to kill it off. Because of the temperatures at night and during the day not being high enough, the Bermudagrass has not had the best growing weather compared to other years. With the work being done and some warmer days/nights, we expect to be in great shape very soon! We hope to host you and your group again this year when our expected conditions are back.
Hi paone28,
We understand your perspective and appreciate your feedback about your experience. The good news is that the greens did make it back from winter after the poaanna issue, you unfortunately just saw them at another inopportune time after aeration earlier this month. We're glad you noticed the sod that we put down in some areas that were not able to survive coming out of winter. Projects like those and growing grass take time and we hope you understand that it cannot be perfect as soon as it is laid down.
We expect to continue building momentum in our conditions after a tough early part of the year! Please email me the next time you'd like to chat more about the projects and progress we are looking to make here at Royal New Kent. jwirth@wingfieldproperties.com
