The Club At Viniterra
About
Situated between Richmond and Williamsburg, the Club at Viniterra sprawls across abundantly wooded hills. There is no shortage of elevation changes on this Rees Jones and Greg Muirhead-designed golf course. There is a difference of as much as 70 feet from the tee to the green on most of the holes. When combined with the mature trees, the result is a tough layout that demands accuracy. Thankfully though, there are not many water hazards to contend with but there is strategically placed bunkering throughout. The golf course also provides a scenic round with working vineyards running alongside the lush fairways. In addition to being challenging, the Club at Viniterra prides itself on their environmentally sensitive practices. The golf course saves as much as 80 percent of the water used on traditional courses thanks to the use of a drought-resistant grass hybrid.

Overrated!
Heard some good things about Viniterra and made a point to check it out. The course is your typical Rees Jones design with mounds everywhere and bunkers on both sides of the fairway off the tee and well bunkered green complexes. The holes are all tree lined on both sides, so it's not uncommon for a wayward shot to end up in the woods. The average golfer would find the course challenging especially if they haven't played it before as there are several blind shots and odd landing area setups on a good chunk of the holes. It's a contrived design and borders on tricked out. There is nothing special about it's pretty run of the mill for a Virginia daily fee.
Layout aside, my main gripe is with the condition. It looked and played like a burnt out course in August after a dry summer, but it was April 30th. Greens were average, but better than the tees and fairways. You'll land in some bunkers on a course like this and they were often thin on sand and hard. It took our threesome 5.5 hours to play on a Sunday with an 11am tee time. The only course ranger we saw was on hole 15 who apologized for the slow play, however with just 3 holes to go he wasn't really of much help. 2/5 stars
Top VA Must Play Public Course
Outstanding experience. Fantastic customer service. Excellent course conditions other than teee boxes. Nice range. By far one of the best public courses in Virginia at a fair price point. My new favorite course. I will be back!
Not great for early season
The club house was very nice. The people are very friendly. The biggest problem was being attacked by beetles the whole front 9. It was basically impossible to hit the ball while being attacked.
Definitely returning to play this course again
Beautiful layout. Outstanding early spring playing conditions. Personable and professional staff. One of the best golf experiences I have had in the Richmond area
Winter is Over
Warm (mid 60s) and partly sunny day. Course conditions were fairly wet from the inch of rain the day before but balls did not plug. Bunkers didn't hold water. Greens were receptive leaving mild ball marks. Just fast enough where my preference was always under the hole. Rolled fairly true. Rough is non-existent as exhibited by tan colored dormant bermuda mown low. Fairways were dyed green and with the rain left lots of tight lies. Tee boxes were good since I didn't struggle to find a good spot. Can't wait for the growth spurt to happen.
Great Course- little pricey
The course is in great shape and ready to play. it is a little pricey but not at the independence level. If you’re willing to take a little drive east of Richmond it is worth the trip. The practice facilities are one of the best in the area, staff is friendly and the food area is good.
Great course. Slow play
Great course for what I paid. Pace of play was slow though.
Great challenging golf course
We played here two days in a row.
Amazing layout and very good playing conditions
Many tee box options for all still levels
Very friendly and welcoming staff.
Thank you!!!
Great course
I loved the course. I never played so good I like all the hills and valleys
The course was a lot of fun to play. The beauty of it was also great.
Viniterra is a must play
If you haven't played this course you need to. It's absolutely gorgeous. Sloped fairways, level fairways, wide open fairways, very fast greens, tee boxes are in very good shape. I look forward to playing it again. It's right off I-64. 15 miles from Richmond and 25 miles from Williamsburg. You won't be disappointed.
Long and Slick
Beautiful and well maintained course. Very long and hilly with very nice bentgrass greens.
Course was in great shape. Fun and challenging to play. Back tees are 7500 yards.
Highly recommend to everyone.
Had lunch which was horrible. Don't recommend it.
Always in Excellent Condition
I walked on and played with a father and son from New York. We had an early tee time, and saw no one going to the tee for over 10 minutes, so we snuck out and never saw anyone in front of or behind us! Glad we didn't wait but slipped out early. The course was in excellent condition from tee to green. The course is challenging with lots of sloped fairways, unpredictable bounces, and some holes requiring target golf. Most fairways are wide, but still require course management to ensure you end up in a good spot. I always enjoy this course, and did on this day as well because of the twosome I joined and the pace of play. Seemed like we had the entire course to ourselves. Always able to recommend Viniterra.
GREAT COURSE - PLAYABLE FOR ANYONE.
Early September, very wet due to two straight days of pouring rain. still, course was in great shape. couldn't play sand traps, as they were lakes; no fault of the course management, just too much rain. Enjoyed our round, even though CPO made for some long walks across soggy terrain.
5-9 Handicapper must have had a bad day if he had several blind shots. I guess playing a 5 1/2 hour round wasn't long enough to check out the "blind shots."
mpwade41,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience here at Viniterra on Sunday. Rees Jones layouts are unique because of the mound lined fairways and difficult green complexes, most players like it but we understand that some do not. April has been an interesting month for our maintenance crew, with the normal rain and warm temperatures, the Bermuda Grass fairways, rough and tee boxes are all still growing and not fully green. That may have been the burnt out look that you describe. We hope to be fully bloomed and green by the middle of May. In this region, that is the best that we can ask for. I hope that you decide to try us out again this summer, we hope to amaze you on the second try!
Sincerely,
Management
