Good Layout, but the greens.........

I like the course layout as a decent challenge. There are enough woods to keep you honest.
Tee boxes were fine. Fairways hard, rolling, but managable. Grrens need a lot more attention - extremely choppy and not manicured well for plant growth spots, very difficult to get a fair roll.

Competitive holes, good value

Greens in great shape. Fairways hard this time of year; benefitted with a lot of line drive longer tee shots.
Hole distances very competitive. Pace was good until a 4-some took a food break and re-inserted themselves to the 7th tee. Last 3 holes were then very slow plus; this is just not right and not fair to others.

Good Value, woods, hiils

Lotta little dog legs and hilly holes. Gotta pay attention to the angles and slopes. Greens, given the location and weather patterns, should have been smooth and not choppy. 10th hole was closed; yet, it was the nicest and maybe most challenging on the course the green was fenced off but the rest of that hole looked fine.

Peaceful, lotta tough holes

Greens in great shape. Bunkers and their surroundings need some work, lotta tough lies. Lotta elevated greens, most holes it's imperative that you hit green upon approach. Course is a good challenge.

Good Value Course in Lovely Community

Greens slicker than expected with a lot of them sloped; a great touch required . Course layout fine. Played from white should have played from blue to make par 3s a little more challenging. Staff very friendly and starter on the mark for starting us on back nine. Great 19th hole pub

Good Value for a municipal course.

Layout and fairways are fine and fair. A lot of bunkers steep and very near pins. Greens in terrible shape though - very patchy and bumpy with many bare spots.
Staff very friendly.

Staff friendliness excellent. Course layout ok, a lot of side hills make for some holes where you can't miss fairways and greens. Fairways too brown. Greens very good.

Nice layout

No waits on tees with afternoon tee time. Very friendly staff. Very good, fair layout. Faiways in very good shape. Greens had a lot of tree residue though and required a lot of pre-putt maintenance.
Very satisfied, would certainly play again.

Based on some prior reviews, i was pleasantly surprised. Course provides a decent challenge. Some extra weed management needed for fairways. Most greens in decent shape, true to the cut.

Great value, Staff gets it.

Staff smartly directs singles to start on 10th as needed. Very friendly. Drink girl constantly checking groups - needed in afternoon heat. Course can be a little long on blue (and black) tees. Greens in exc shape, tee boxes ok, passible. Keep ball in fairway as rough is thick and you'll be fine. Plenty of ball washes, very good compared to some others. Will continue to play here.

Fine for locals

It's hot, it's Florida. Course layout has enough challenges. Fairways hard and the balls roll. Bunkers were fine and manageable. Staff very friendly. Tee boxes weren't perfect but were more than playable. Greens need watering and attention though, many are baked.

Thank you for the great review! Mike Strantz designed and built from scratch only seven courses. Royal New Kent,, he modeled after two of his favorite Irish courses, Royal County Down and Ballybuinion and it's very unique and never gets boring. Hope you can make it back soon.

Rolling Hills, Creeks

Lots of hills. Creeks in strategic spots.
Greens fast but there were a few questionable pin placements. Must keep ball in fairways.
Challenging course. Areas of ongoing water pipe construction on a couple of holes that were distracting. Knowing hole layout a big plus.

Friendly local course

Good course to relax, hone your game.
Holes are easy to navigate and no extreme challenges exist. Rough more brown leaves, mulch type, but can find ball as compared to courses with thick rough.

Tee boxes ok, not perfect, greens were true and in good shape.

Pace was fair best to pick your tee times around tournaments.

Staff extremely friendly and along with friendly golfers course is an easy choice for any.

A good course to practice, not a true test

Given that this is a public course, it was not a challenging course but a fair one if you kept the ball straight.. The tee boxes were in good shape; the greens in excellent shape, the sand traps were not manicured. and there was plenty of weed build up in more than a few. Pro Shop staff very friendly. Easy to navigate the course. Effective distancing when i played given the environment..

Nice Course, Friendly staff

Given the environment, the course was in great shape. Beware the back 9 extreme hilly many holes where the drive position is key. Tee boxes in excellent shape. Good quality food available by pre-ordering. Bunkers deep stay out. This course is not for rookies. Drink cart makes the rounds and drink cart roams the course. Pace of play affected by walking half the time. Staff extremely friendly.

Keep it in the Fairways

Played the Black tees to get to thhe 6200 yard length. There are plenty of holes, though, with sloped and hilly fairways. This behooves you to keep it in the fairways. The starters and rangers are among the friendliest there are. The greens were true and the fairways in good shape. Appropriately, a beverage cart made the rounds on a steamy day.
