KEEP IN YOUR ROTATION

This golf course continues to amaze...
The Staff told me that they continue to make your day as perfect experience as possible...They self imposed some new suggestions regarding the serious nature of the Coronavirus....They evening instituted a "walk-up" window to pay....Asked players to not remove pins when putting and to not shake hands or do "high fives"...
The G.M./Golf Professional Jamie is the catalyst behind these new safety measures...The thoughtfulness does not go unnoticed....Thank you for being so pro-active....Made my day even more memorable...

WOW!!!! What wonderful changes they have made...

This golf course is now a place that you can truly enjoy. They have put in 18 New Greens plus the Practice Green....Their new greens are has good as any Golf Course in the are public or private...New green irrigation system that keeps them well watered and receptive to any shot played in...When you walk in the door you are greeted by Coley, the PGA professional...He has a smile that is tattooed on his face that makes you feel welcome and appreciated right from the start...There are groups that play 3 or more times per week mornings...He had me join one on Friday...Great group and a lot of fun....No "high stakes" consequently "no pressure"...If you haven't played this course recently...PUT IT IN YOUR ROTATION...You won't be disappointed.

Doomsday never arrived!!!!

All of the negative publicity that has been put forth regarding Petersburg's fiscal issues, causing the demise of the "Jewel of Petersburg's---Dogwood Trace Golf Club" has proven to be absolutely false I brought a group of 7 golfers to the club Wednesday, 11/30/16. It was 75 degrees. 1.) The greens had been cut. 2.) Tractor with blower removing leaves from fairways. 3.) Mower cutting rough area and chopping leaves in wooded areas between fairways. All while we were playing. The Pro Shop still had their same smiling faces and great welcoming attitude. The new restaurant had Christmas decorations up and food still super delicious with generous portions. Truly a great restaurant for golfers or non-golfers Jamie Fagan and Nick Robinson "take a bow". Your leadership has resulted in the Golf Course not "skipping a beat...Congratulations to the City of Petersburg....

This golf course is always in immaculate shape...
Staff treats you like you are a member. New clubhouse with a full bar and excellent food. Pro shop is fully stocked and would be the envy of any country club.
Greens always roll true and Bermuda fairways allow you to play the ball down...Driving range, putting green and chipping green with sand traps will equal any country club in the area...Play it, I will guarantee that it will match up to 90% of the courses you play....Easy to give a good review...I play it a minimum of twice per week all year round.

A REAL "GEM"!!!!

Snow on ground in Richmond Va....Head Pro @ The Club at Viniterra told one of our group that this course would be well worth the ride...This course is absolutely one of the best in the entire Mid-Atlantic region...The staff, other players could not have been more friendly or accommodating...To find a course in this excellent condition in February is almost impossible. Exclusive country clubs included....We paid a "little" extra and played 27 holes...There is no question that we will be back...

Play in any type of weather

Very limited paved cart paths... Allow you to play in any type of conditions as long as you try to keep in rough when course fairways are extremely wet...Great "go-to" course when everybody else is closed...

Don't go to the Williamsburg, Va.area without taking the time to play this supreme layout...Clubhouse 25,000+ sq. ft. allwide cement cart paths, manicured bunkers, excellent greens, fairways were dormant Bermuda but very playable....May be one of the best layouts on the East Coast....Gated Community...

Great lay-out......dog-legs and elevation changes...Greens well bunkered

As soon as you drive up Ford's Colony "rings" Private Country Club....Short course that will "eat your lunch" when breezy. All day uphill, downhill and doglegs. Course is well bunkered...It is without a question a "play it again" course...Fun Play
3 18 hole championship courses on same property...Great golfing on all 3 courses,,,

Wide fairways....Huge Greens

This course will severely test your game...Don't let wide fairways and huge greens lull you into thinking "I can score here"....Not the case...Long with high slope ratings....This course will have you talking to your self...You had better be on your iron game and chipping/putting... Guarantee you will shoot 3 to 5 strokes over your handicap.....Good thing is.... YOU WILL want to go back....Mike Strantz gem....Links style
