Awesome

This course has undergone extensive improvements over the past couple of years and it shows. Everything is in great shape and has the nicest greens anywhere on the peninsula. The staff is very friendly and helpful. One of my favorite courses in Virginia.

Challenging

Good course and Ed Collins and the staff have always been helpful on the range or giving a putting lesson. Seems like they are always available from shot selection to club management. The golf shop is awesome for men and carries most Titleist irons and woods for demo and purchase. One thing that I would approve would be more clothing apparel for women. The course lay-out was challenging and greens roll true.

This course should have been closed.

this was the first time I have been on a course where making money was the prime objective. the course was a mud bog. every fairway was like walking on a sponge full of water. Balls were plugging in the middle of the fairways off the drive. It will take a week of hot weather to dry out. there was at least 1/2" water at every tee box to walk through to tee off. I hope I didn't ruin my shoes and my pants are covered in mud. horrible course condition!!!!

the group in back of us was very disrespectful. shouting (one player) clapping his hands for us to move faster. Mind you we(foursome) where on a four hour pace for 18 holes. we just picked our balls and moved on to the next hole. My regret was that I didn't call the pro shop to express my anger. It would have been better for him to ask us if he could go in front . maybe he didn't do it was because we had just three holes left umm. Maybe he was angry with something else but however it took the fun out of the game.

Nice course,well worth a round.

Enjoyed our round even though the course was wet,and cart path only,plenty of yardage markers so from cart path a reasonable distance could be made,the whole course was green no bare spots just lush green grass,tip check the card some sneaky water comes into play.Definetly worth a round.

Cart Path Only

Very good course. Played cart path only due to several days of drizzle. Hole two requires lay up because of water unable to see from fairway. Course began to dry out during back 9. Was able to get a morning tee time which we could not obtain in the Williamsburg area.
