Member tees aren't listed on the score card.    What are they? A hybrid of white and green?

Funny to see this place on here...

I lived in Richmond for almost 10yrs up to 2014 and played this course quite a bit until I moved to NY as it was my regular playing partner's favourite area course. Has some nice interesting holes and I certainly wouldn't classify it as hard. For a woodland course it does incorporate some links-esque feeling on some holes rather well!

Within a few miles of Royal New Kent there are several other courses of similar style; Brickshire and Viniterra being the closest.

The local CBS TV station in Richmond had a screaming deal each year where for $150 you got to play six local courses (including a cart!) and these three were always included. The first year I did it the River Course at Kingsmill (that was an LPGA tour course and former PGA tour course) was included and that would have been $180 on its own!

I still travel to Richmond regularly for work and see someone else here is a local but if anyone wants any pointers just shout.

Unfortunately I'm already travelling elsewhere in the country, otherwise I'd be sorely tempted. 

RNK is a skip from RIC airport...

My son and I are interested.  I gotta check with the significant other.  Also, my son just had his appendix removed, so he'll be rusty and sore.  But it ought to be fun, and I've heard great things about the course.

Two weeks is plenty of time to heal up. We'd be happy to have you!

Possible for me to bring a non-TST buddy? Not sure how that will affect numbers

Not positive he can make it, but wanted to get a feel from the group first

I think that’s fine as week-of additions. Put him on the waiting list if he’s able to come. Ideally it’s TST people.

Or get him to register and make a few posts. 🙂

So I guess those tees will remain undefeated.

I will have to see. The bosses birthday is that weekend so it may be hard to get away from her. 

[iacas]

Maybe she’ll want to sleep in and have some alone time. 🙂

That sounds like her birthday gift to me.
