COURSE NOTES |
Kinloch Golf Course Beta Notes
Architect: Lester George
Opening: 2001. Private.
Par: 72, approx. 7300 yards
Course Type: Woodlands
Location: West Metro Richmond, VA.
Items requiring attention
1. Course is not seem blended.
2. All bunkers need reworking!
3. #10 back tee not tethered to any other verts. Not sure how that is possible. No effect on play.
4. Planting behind #10 and #12 greens “disappears” while player is on tee box. It reappears once ball is put into play. Weird. Planting IS present while working within APCD.
5. Pins require readjustment. Current locations were for practice only. 12 pins planted per hole
6. Lots of sharp edges where smooth gradients are required.
I most likely will not address these items myself. I do not have the time or expertise to adequately tackle seem blending and bunker contouring. If anyone wishes to take the baton and run with it and completely finish this course, feel free. I’m available for course commentary. I’ve played this course several times in the past and know it quite well.
Hole Descriptions/Notes Hole configurations are current, except for #9, #11, #15, and #18.
1. Glade. Handicap-09. Par 4, 450 yards. Fade off tee; mid iron to sloping left to right green.
2. Crest. Handicap-11. Par 4, 445 yards. Duel fairway. Left side is on grade with green. Trees to left of back tee placed there by club to dissuade the “better player” from hitting power fade down left side.
3. Crease. Handicap-07. Par 5, 585 yards. Drive adjacent to right fairway bunkers needed to go for green in two. Otherwise, lay up to comfortable yardage. Green slopes heavily from back to front.
4. Gauntlet. Handicap-15. Par 4, 320 yards. Multiple driving options for duel fairways. Green is accessible off tee with prevailing wind.
5. Citadel. Handicap-01. Par 4, 415 yards. Semi blind fade tee shot leaves blind uphill short to mid iron approach. 2nd fairway IS accessible off tee with prevailing wind and very strong, accurate shot.
6. Moor. Handicap-13. Par 3, 249 yards. Hole plays down wind and downhill.
7. Slot. Handicap-03. Par 4, 465 yards. Blind draw off tee will yield a mid-iron to green fronted by lake.
8. Palisade. Handicap-05. 585 yards. Duel fairway. Right side is very difficult to hold, but can yield mid to long iron approach. Left fairway is much more accessible, leaving a uphill fairway wood approach.
9. 19th green. Hanndicap-17. Par 3, 186 yards. This hole was traditionally the 19th. A fun hole after the round. I substituted it with the actual #5 par 3, same distance. It’s slightly more challenging, and atheistically more visual.
10. Ridge. Handicap-06. Par 4, 445 yards. Slightly downhill drive leads to an uphill approach.
11. Dell. Handicap-12. Par 5, 525 yards. Pin and wind direction will dictate which fairway to drive. Both slope towards central creek. Undulating pitched green accessible in two. Maintained original fairway bunkering from 2016.
12. Saddle. Handicap-04. Par 4, 474 yards. Long hole requiring a slight uphill long iron approach.
13. Vista. Handicap-10. Par5, 585 yards. Long downwind drive makes for accessible green in two.
14. Lakeside. Handicap-18. Par 3, 155 yards.
15. Camber. Handicap-16. Par 4, 275. Various options off tee. Green is drivable with prevailing wind. Hole plays 25 ft. uphill, guarded by tree, which was destroyed by storm in 2017. Original bunkering and tree are maintained.
16. Cape. Handicap-02. Par 4, 515 yards. Hardest hole on course. Favorable draw lie in fairway leaves a long iron/fairway metal to elongated green.
17. Cascade. Handicap-14. Par 3, 205 yards. Hole plays uphill, into wind.
18. Summit. Handicap-08. Par 4, 455 yards. Downhill fade tee shot slightly over the lake leaves a mid-iron to green. Alternate left fairway requires a long iron carry over the lake to the green.
