A step below Gold but a nice addition

Golden Horseshoe kept it in the Jones family when they added onto the famous Gold Course with the Rees Jones-designed Green. It's a totally different experience here, and while the courses border each other, the clubhouses are about a mile or so away. The Gold feels a little more like a resort course being so close to the Colonial Williamsburg lodging, while this semi-private facility feels a little more member driven.

The Green has its moments with some tricky par 3s and a great par-5 finisher. An Audubon Sanctuary course, virtually every hole is surrounded by dense canopy, providing a sense of solitude. It is a little more player-friendly than Gold, with mounding generally running alongside the fairways, but certainly of championship quality.

I would either play this course before the Gold, or play Gold twice. Playing it after the Gold, one of my favorites of the year, left me wanting a little more.

Will go back

Unfortunately the course was a swamp when we played. My friend and I were in on business and didn't know it had rained as much as it had. Not the courses fault but it was just water logged. I would like to go back and play it when the conditions are more favorable. Overall the course was nicely manicured. Bring extra balls because if you go out of bounds your ball is gone.

Worth the drive

Booked as a single, paired with a local. Finished in under 4 hrs. Ample landing areas, demanding approach shots. Early February, dormant fairway and rough, greens in great shape and rolled true. Don't be fooled by the practice green...at least this time of year, on course greens nowhere near as severe. Downhill par 3s take one less club. Uphill par 4s and 5s, take at least 1, if not 2 club ups. Looking forward to a return trip to see how course plays during warmer months.

Swamp

We had a lot of rain this week, but WOW.. every bunker had at least 18 inches of standing water in it. No drainage at all. For the money it wasn't terrible, but I was surprised at the amount of water.

Checks all the boxes

Easily accessed. Nice, almost private course. People were friendly. Nice views especially on the hillsides and the water during the Fall. Reasonably good condition. Greens are challenging.

Perfect Combo

While the Gold has the Par 3’s the Green has the Par 5’s including 18 which is a great finishing hole. The conditions are great and the greens are firm and fast.

Great First Impression

First time playing this course and it was a wonderful round of golf. Great staff from beginning to end. Pace of play was on point with a 4 hour 10 minute round. Greens and course were in really good shape. Will definitely be traveling back to Williamsburg to play this course again.

Nice track.

Course design & condition are exceptional. Bunkers don’t drain well, leading to inconsistency from one hole to the next. Also, we played in 94 degrees and there were no water coolers or beverage carts on the course, making it impossible to stay hydrated. Need to put water coolers every second or third hole. With attention to these issues, the course could be exceptional with very little extra effort & cost.

Great course

This is the second time I’ve played this course. Unlike many of the courses in the area they don’t overbook and you won’t spend forever on the tee waiting to play. The greens are well maintained and the staff is very friendly, the price is good for the conditions of the course and on par with Kiskiak or Kiln Creek.
