Colonial Heritage Club
About
Colonial Heritage Golf Club offers the only Arthur Hills-designed layout in Williamsburg, and it is also the city's only gated golf community. Golfers looking for a place where they can just 'grip it and rip it' will be out of luck on this course, which requires skill and strategy. It is a thought-provoking design where golfers will want to weigh all of the risk and reward options first. The layout plays through deep ravines that provide interesting changes in elevation. The golf course also features undulating fairways and large, fast greens that are bordered by strategically placed bunkers as well as water hazards that come into play on several holes. Colonial Heritage G.C. definitely provides a good challenge, even for a seasoned player, but beginners shouldn't feel too intimidated. The golf course offers some room for error and the risk-reward opportunities appeal to low and high handicappers alike.

It's not easy to get on the green on the par-3 14th but if you do, you've got a great birdie opportunity. Photo submitted by Back9Ben on 03/11/2020

Look at this, where do I hit the ball Photo submitted by Douglas5507193 on 10/16/2013
Too difficult
Can’t believe this course was built in a retirement community!
You need to be 10 or under handicap to play this course!
Lots of topography change which is vusually atttactive but adds considerable degree of difficulty.
Introducing the Family to Golf
From the starter to the course team, everyone treated us well. We had a few new golfers and the team was first rate. Will come back again and look forward to playing the course.
Round at Feb 16
Had a great day playing this course. Front 9 is nice, but the round really gets interesting at the turn as the back 9 demands some good shot making and resulted in some big scores for me. Really nice layout and the greens were incredibly true for this time of year.
Great value
I am a bogey golfer and my brother is a 10 handicap. We read the reviews and brought lots of golf balls!
Our first impression was that this club would go private since it is private level in every respect.
The course is very unique in design and challenging. If you do not hit the ball straight this is not a course to play.
We thought it was a hidden gem and will play again. Very friendly staff.
Rainy Day - still fun
Booked a couple of days in advance, taking a chance on the weather. It rained, so a little cold and wet. But a lot of fun and only a handful of brave souls roughing it out.
The course design is amazing. Definitely difficult, but not as tough as some posters here make it out to be. I’m a high handicapper and played the blue tees. Lost 3 balls on hole 5, but 2 were shanks by me.Staff was very friendly. Greens were fast. Fairways gorgeous.
I’ll definitely be back.
A fall late afternoon
An interesting setup, with lots of forced carries, split fairways, chilliness, etc. The greens were coming off being punched, but still plenty fast and true rolling
The pace of play is good, be because with this challenging layout, all the members have to be able to play, and mostly members out there.
Excellent Course!
Colonial Heritage has one of the most fun layouts I've ever played, and it is extremely well manicured. It is a great value, and better than many courses priced two or three times higher. And, despite what many reviewers have said, it is not difficult. There are five or six sets of tees to play, and there are drop zones on literally every hole, that if used correctly, should make this course extremely playable for everyone. This was my first time playing Colonial Heritage but won't be my last!
Heritage in the mist
Played Colonial heritage in a constant drizzle, mist. Read reviews before that rated it a hard course. They were right. But, boy, was it fun! Found the multiple blind shots challenging and several holes designed as difficult. The closing par 5 is a gem, even though a bit intimidating. Greens and fairways were in fine shape with only a couple of bald patches on a couple of greens. The whole course is beautiful to play, and I recommend it fo anyone.
Very hard course
This is a very well kept course, but it is extremely difficult. Lots of blind shots and very small landing areas. Lots of trouble for being offline at all. Best suited for very good golfers.
Dear Gary,
Thank you for playing our golf course yesterday and providing us your feedback.
Our residents take a lot of pride in our course; its layout, conditions, and play ability. Due to the elevation changes throughout all 18 holes, our course plays roughly 400-500 yards longer that our scorecard states.
Choosing the proper sets of tees is paramount on enjoying ones round at Colonial Heritage. For those golfers who enjoy a course at 6,500 yards, our recommendation is to play our Blue Tees that measures 6,000 yards but will play 6,500.
We would love to have you play our course again and consider playing one set of tees closer.
Thank you again and I hope this information helps.
Sincerely,
Aaron Palen, PGA
