A little over three weeks ago I had the distinct pleasure of playing Lester George's Kinloch Golf Club. And a wonderful
golf club it is. I was able to join fellow GolfClubAtlas members Geoff Walsh and Mike Cirba for a morning round. Geoff was the smart one as he was on vacay in the area, while Mike and I spent about 11 hours in the car that day to make it down from Philly to the Richmond area.
This place has been talked about plenty and I'm happy to provide a rather thorough photo tour. The only thing not perfect this day was the lighting on this overcast, hot, and humid morning which was less than ideal, but usable. The hospitality of Phil Owenby and his staff was simply top shelf. And the conditioning of the course probably the best I've seen all year, if not many years. Couple this with a fairly easy to walk course, knowledgeable caddies, and you have a memorable day.
It had rained the night before, so the caddies suggested we play the middle tees at 6400 yards. This makes some of the par 4's real interesting to play in terms of temptation. If you are a big hitter, these tees will not challenge you so much off the tees and you should move back to 6800 or the tips at 7200 yards.
The routing is below, with the two nines separated by a lake. In between the two nines is a very nice 150 yard 19th hole (in red).
