I played it once before closure and then again December '19. I 100% agree with the front/back comments, but like Tobacco Road, it's clear people are willing to overlook some problem holes to get the good stuff. My biggest concern was how many times I thought "this spot is never, ever going to drain correctly, no matter how much money is thrown at it." Having such bold slopes inevitably leads to lots of low points where water collects, but there were a lot of full holes that were soggier than I would have expected. Unfortunately, it's a little too far from Richmond for locals to play it regularly and golf trips to Williamsburg typically aren't about the architecture snobbery (a la Pinehurst) that makes people willing to go a half hour out of the way. The location makes it significantly more difficult to get enough money to fix those problems. Tobacco Road never had those types of issues back when it was charging muni-level prices and then is adjacent to a location where people regularly pay $200-500 for a round. Even if RNK drained perfectly, I think TR is a superior course, but TR also has soil quality and economics going for it.
