In this episode of DRIVE we travel to Virginia to complete a five-year journey through all seven of legendary golf course architect Mike Strantz’s original designs. Our adventure begins at Stonehouse Golf Club, where dramatic elevation changes, blind shots, and strategic risk-reward decisions showcase Strantz’s fearless approach to golf course architecture. Along the way, we uncover the incredible story of how Stonehouse was rescued from abandonment before exploring historic Williamsburg and one of the region’s best local dining experiences. The journey then leads to Royal New Kent, Strantz’s Irish-inspired masterpiece, where towering fescue, massive bunkers, and unforgettable holes reveal why his designs continue to captivate golfers decades later. Joined by the general managers of both courses, we dive into the philosophy behind Strantz’s unconventional vision and discover why he believed every hole deserved to be memorable. More than just a golf trip, this episode celebrates the friendships, architecture, history, and unforgettable experiences that make golf travel so rewarding. If you’re planning a Virginia golf trip, fascinated by Mike Strantz golf courses, or simply love cinematic golf documentaries, this episode offers an unforgettable look at two of America’s most unique public golf courses and the emotional finale to our quest to experience every original Mike Strantz design.
