Overview
Since the only way to successfully establish bentgrass tees, fairways and greens in hot, humid Richmond was to create expansive corridors to allow plenty of sunlight and air to the turf, Kinloch Golf Club has more double fairways posing options and alternate routes than nearly every other course on the 100 Greatest, except perhaps National Golf Links of America. In 2016, George prepared a long-range masterplan of adjustments, including expansion of the alternate fairways on nine and 11, for improved visibility and playability, and removal of thick rough between bunkers and fairway edges. Enhancements will continue in the future.

“Incredible piece of property and the course will not disappoint. Outstanding condition and beautiful views. The 19th hole is a great way to finish the round, Par 3 over the lake with the clubhouse in the background."

“Been a while since playing here....Conditioning was excellent and the course was challenging, but lenient. As a longer hitter this is a course I could enjoy playing all the time. It helps to be accurate off the tee to setup the approach, but there is breathing room. Then the conditioning makes it all the more pleasant when trying to score from the approach in.."

“This course resembles Augusta National, in the green and tee box draped azaleas and a magnificent winding stream that carves throughout, more so than any I have yet to experience. The 9th hole epitomizes Shot Options with four others that utilize split fairways impeccably."

“Fabulous club with impeccable services. Practice area gracefully and logically transitions players to the course. The course itself is immaculately maintained and offers a wealth of risk-reward opportunities, forcing players to think strategically rather than just “grip it and rip it.” Only drawback is the overall difficulty of the course, which will leave most players frustrated. But and absolute must to play and experience."

“Kinloch is a great golf experience. The staff is very engaging, the caddies are knowledgeable and the course is fantastic. The course is challenging and offers many shot options, the greens are fast and the fairways are shorter than many courses greens. Be sure to play the 19th hole."

“Excellent golf club. Very interesting shots with split fairways, or cross bunkers or ravines to hit over. Amazing short game practice area and putting green. Also, very cool hog hole to settle bets. Golf course always in excellent condition but plays slow and wet majority of the time (or at least when I have been there and the first question I ask when somebody has played there "was it wet?")"
