Best course/lowest round

We played 6 courses on GolfNow.com while on vaction in Williamsburg and this was far and away the best kept. The greens were in great shape. You can really tell they take great care all the way around. We played Blackheath the last day. It was a great way to finish since I shot my lowest round ever and my playing partner went under par and was only 1 off his career low.

Pleasantly surprised

Played on a Sunday afternoon while visiting the area. Pro shop staff was very friendly and helpful. Really exceeded my expectations for the price. Greens were so lush they were almost too slow! (With 3 1-putts & a chip in, who's complaining!) The fairways are a bit tight, but that just adds to the fun! Exciting elevation changes make for beautiful scenery. There was enough water and sand to keep you honest, but the bunkers were in poor shape - just packed mud. Note that the 9s have recently been swapped, so if you're using a phone app (GolfShot) check the scorecard first to avoid confusion. (Sent an update to GS) All in, I be back!

Better than Jamestown

I liked this course better than Jamestown. It played well and I enjoyed the layout. That said, the greens rolled ok but were in terrible shape. Couldn't tell where the fairways were on some hole because they hadn't been mowed. Lost a ball in the fairway in the clover - yes clover! Generally seems to be not well attended to. I played on a GolfNow hot deal, so for the price it was great. Not worth the regular full price. Still I had fun!

We're glad to hear that you had fun and enjoyed the course. We can't say that the greens haven't suffered some serious disease last season / beginning of year, but we've been working hard to improve conditions. We appreciate your coming out and hope to have you back again.

Highlight of my week!

Was in the Williamsburg area for a week. Played 3 other courses and Kiskiak was far and away the best maintained. I was a bit wary of it because I thought it might be too difficult. Turned into the best round and most fun I had all week. I'll certainly be back next time I'm in the area!

Disappointed

Played this course some years ago and it was great. I don't usually play Jamestown when I'm Wmburg because it's too expensive. Got a good deal from GolfNow and took a friend for a round. I was very disappointed that the greens were in such terrible shape. They rolled ok but had big brown spots. To be fair, it rained the night before and we played in a light rain most of the round - no roll on the fairways. Was surprised to see the rest rooms uncleaned and in disrepair. Clover in the fairways - really? Sad see this course go unattended and so run down. That said we still had a good time!

Donald Ross is devious!

The undulating Donald Ross designed greens will do you in! If you can putt here, you can putt anywhere. Fun course to play with just enough sand, water and elevation changes to keep you honest.

Interesting Course/Terrible Greens

Got a super deal on Golf Now while on a visit to Atlanta and since it is usually a private club, decided to sneak in a round. While the course was not too long, it is very narrow in places so you need to be careful off the tee. Elevation changes made it interesting on some holes also. I played late in October and the greens were terrible. Big dirt holes in the front 9 and the back had been sanded. Like putting through a construction site or a sand trap! I would like to play this course again when the greens are in better shape (playable) and everything is in bloom...I'll bet it's pretty!
