Ford's Colony Country Club - Blackheath Course

Entire course was very wet from a lot of rain. Balls had no bounce on the fairways they just plugged. Had a tee time of 11:30 and due to a frost delay,, we didn’t tee off till 12:20 and hole #4 was closed due to being so wet and soft.

The Blue Heron just held in water. It rained about 10 days BEFORE we golfed. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were soaked. It was a sad, tiring, non fun day. I ruined my tennis shoes when I sunk down passed my ankles.

Owner needs to evaluate ground structure on several holes

Nice course layout except for severe lack of drainage on front nine of the Marsh Hawk course of Fords Colony. Cart path only. It was very spongey, wet, muddy, soggy. We frankly didn't think this course should have been open that day. The back nine was much better as far as mud and spongey fairways. The back had a lot of fun elevation changes.

Pretty course! Just over seeded and muddy! So much gumbo it pulled off your shoes if not careful. No one told us it was cartpath only until we got to the first tee!

Played a 5+!round! For a two-some, that felt like 8hrs! Every shot was a 5-7 min wait. Played behind a foursome who were obviously new to the game. No shots traveled more than 100yds, including tee shots. What made it worse, is it’s cart path only so hit 40yds, to cart, walk to ball. Hit 100 yards, walk to cart. Spoke to the marshal and he had a word with them. I expected the marshal to follow them until they pick up the pace. What a wasted day, money, and game. I wanted to ask for my money back.

These courses used to be good...for a while at least. The GM; Peter, shouldn’t run a used car lot let alone a country club. There hasn’t been any rain in 7 days but it’s still cart path only...disgusting. Staff in the restaurant are outstanding but the menu upstairs is trash. You are better off playing kiskiack or national, at least their drainage works. I’ve played nearly 30 rounds here this summer and I’ve seen a cart girl maybe 3-4 times....Peter is a joke and so is the way this club is being managed.

I was very happy to see that Ford's Colony was back on golf now , that was until I found out that they are only offering tee times on the Marsh Hawk course! This course is as plain and boring as any in the entire area! I wish they had never even come back to GolfNow because it's a manipular joke! Don't play it! You will regret it as it is nothing like the other two courses at Ford's Colony!

I enjoyed playing this course. It is in great shape and the staff was friendly.

Played here as vacation package and this was easily the most beautiful course we played. Fun elevation changes, water comes into play on 13 holes. This was a great course from check in to leave. 100% recommend for anyone in the area.

Fairways were in good shape. Greens were soft, a little ruff in certain places due to players shoe marks. Otherwise the greens were smooth.

Let me just start by saying the course is beautiful, will definitely be back to play. The only negative thing was the staff. The bag drop guy gave off a typical country club attitude. Then later on, the Marshall was driving around the course as my group was on the tee box, we all had to stop what we were doing so he could pass us. After us moving the carts to side, he drive right on through without looking at us, and couldn’t be bothered to muster up a “thank you”. This may seem like not a big a deal, and I understand that we are not members, however we did pay good money, treat us with a little respect. But as I stated earlier, it’s a nice course and we will back.

Great track. Could have used a marshal to keep pace..

We played the Blue Heron course for the first time today and it's was really great. Tee to green the course was in super shape. If it wasn't for the pace of play on the front I would have rated all parts of the experience as excellent. Fortunately the pace improved on the back. I will certainly play it again.

We were scheduled to play Blackheath but were very disappointed having to play Marsh Hawk which was actually a waste of time. The course was not in very good condition the greens have sand all over them and we're inconsistent. We will never go back to that course at Ford's Colony

This is the first time playing the Blue Heron course as I have played the other two courses at Fords Colony back in March. We were not disappointed. With the extreme heat conditions the course was in immaculate condition. Marshall was coming around with cold bottle water 2-3 times during the round. Looking forward to returning to play again

Course was in good condition. The bunkers were a little hard. Pace of play was terrible.

Te greens seemed a bit slow but had a fun round. They need to add sand to the traps or sift out the gravel - wasn't really bad but see how it could damage your sand wedge.
