New Opening, Same Tough Course

Still an awesome and amazing course. With the course only open for a week, there are still a few places where fairways are being repaired. Greens were sandy but still rolled fast and not many issues.
I played the “old” course and we certainly come back over and over. So happy this course has come back. I had a Hot Deal and paid $50. SO ALL THE HATERS THAT THIS COURSE ISNT WORTH IT, DONT PLAY IT! That will give me more deals to play here.
I won’t spend $95 but I will pay $50 and play here at least once a month! Thanks again for a great course to play again and can’t wait to come back.

Don't waste your time....

There is nothing green on the course except the greens.
The fairways don't have a lot of grass...
The tee boxes don't have a lot of grass...
The course could really really be good if they took care of some things.
There is NO WAY you can rate this course 4-star! No way!

Course needs help...

The only green part of this course are the greens and the yards of the people that live there. Fairways needs grass...
Tee boxes need grass...
This place would be really nice because the course layout is tough.
Currently not worth more than $20
Really really hope this course gets turned around in the right direction.

Will give it ONE more chance

The day I went, the course was aerated on the front side. I didn’t know that until getting there so I played the back 9 twice.
Course was in decent shape and very crowded.
The practice green was closed.
The staff was very friendly and went over everything that was going on.
I’ll come back once more to see if it gets better but being a “new course” on GolfNow, you would think the “Aeration Advisory” should’ve been on the course info.

Awesome!

First time playing here and it was well worth it. There were 20-30 mph winds and cold. Can’t wait to go back when it’s warm. Awesome time and course was in great shape!

Hidden Gem

This was the 2nd time playing here and it again was great! Course is still wet in areas and soft around the greens but no fault to them. We’ve had a lot of rain. Greens are fast and in excellent shape. Staff is so nice and friendly. Being from VA, they treat me like a member. The 1.5 hour drive for me is worth it. Thanks again for a great time and look forward to the next.

Must Play

Course was in excellent shape. If you are in the area, Williamsburg National is a place to need to play. They have 2 courses, Jamestown and Yorktown. You won’t be disappointed.

Nice round but COLD!

Course was in good shape. The greens weren’t in good shape but playable. The ladies at the bar served us hot chocolate to drink so that helped on that cold day. Overall, for the $20 round it was a good time! Can’t wait for the warmer weather! Will be coming back!

Nice but concerning....

Played Blue Herron today. Course was in great shape. Greens were very nice.
My concern is allowing walkers to play on a crowded weekend. I like to walk at times too but not on a weekend when it’s booked. Got behind 4 walkers until they finally let us play through only to get behind 2 groups of 4 that took forever. I like all 3 courses but it’s getting harder to play there because of the waiting. I know we wasted an hour just sitting during our round.

Still Nice....

Course was still in great shape after all the rain VA has gotten lately. The 4 of us played in 4 hours so the pace was excellent. Greens in great shape, no issues at all. Playing on Sunday for $25 on a very nice course is always nice too.

Haven't Played here in Years, Course is Very Nice

This was the first time in about 15 years that I played here. The Jamestown course was in great shape! Greens were in good shape. I paid $30 and it was worth it! I will certainly come back and play again. Jamestown course is super nice!! Thanks for a good time!

A Must Play

Course was in great shape, staff was great and the value was great! I will certainly come back and play again! Living in Chester with an hour drive to this course, I was excited to play this course and it did not disappoint. Anyone in the area that hasn’t played here, you need to put it on your list.

Still a nice course

The starter is just a FANTASTIC guy!! He has a great personality and just as friendly. The course wasn't in terrible shape but have played when it's been better. Lots of the traps had rocks in them. A few of the greens really really need some work. It was very crowded and did take us 5 hours to play. We were told it was going to be slow so I really can't complain about that. The layout is somewhat challenging and on some holes, keep the driver in the bag. I'll come back but it may be a couple months.
