For what it is worth, I had the opportunity to check out Royal New Kent last week. Frankly, I'd been a bit disappointed with the two Strantz's I'd seen prior to RNK. (FYI, they were Tobacco Road and Stonehouse).
But I was very close to being blown away by Royal New Kent. The only thing holding me back from being totally in awe of the place was the long green to tee transitions on seemingly every hole, the pretty awful routing between the homes especially between 13 and 14, and the not so great houses surrounding some of the holes on the back nine.
However, I mention the negatives to get to the point that the golf holes were plain and simply WOW!!!! Some of the very best I've seen to date. If you drop these holes on a piece of property like Askernish, Sand Hills, or even Pinehurst #2...then you've got a serious contender for a World Top 100, IMO.
Thanks for these photos and comments guys. RNK is a must see.
