“Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, “it’s called golf.”
–Irish saying
A one of a kind Irish Links style course designed by Mike Strantz
Royal New Kent was designed by Mike Strantz as his third solo effort. Strantz is regarded as one of the most influential golf architects of the past 25 years even though he designed just seven courses individually. Strantz’s career was cut short, losing his battle with cancer in 2005 at the age of 50.
All of his courses have been ranked in the “top 100” by Golf Digest, and courses that are currently ranked include Caledonia (#27 GolfWeek, #73 Golf Digest), Monterey Peninsula (#61 Golf Digest), Tobacco Road (#71 Golf Digest) and True Blue (#77 Golf Magazine). Prior to that he was Tom Fazio’s chief shaper and on-site designer, often credited for his work on many of Fazio’s iconic courses.

“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.“
