18th Tee Photo submitted by CharlieinPA on 02/27/2017
Great find
Really enjoyed playing this course. The conditions were perfect and the weather was ideal. Unfortunately, we encountered a foursome, which eventually let us (a twosome) play through, and a twosome that did not, and that would have benefitted more from the driving range. Too many golfers playing from inappropriate tees. But the course was lovely and we had a great day regardless.
Hello, Lahaye. Thank you for your 5-star rating! We hope to see you again soon at Ford's Colony Country Club.
Great! Glad you enjoyed your time with us!
Looking green
Marsh Hawk was in good shape after several days of rain. Greens can be tough to read and provide a challenge. Foursome in front did not keep pace, but once we got around them on ten we were able to play quickly. Always a good round at Ford’s Colony and the hot deal wasn’t a great value. Will be back again soon!
Awesome! We're pleased that our course conditions met your expectations despite all the rain we had. We appreciate your review and we hope to have you back again soon!
Super friendly staff and great amenities
Wonderful experience! Course was beautiful! Couldn’t have been treated better. Pace was perfect. Holes were challenging.
Terrific! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your experience with us and that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout. We can't wait to have you back again soon for your next round at Ford's Colony!

Marsh Hawk course in great shape and firm/fast greens. Enjoyed !!!!!
Awesome! We're pleased that our course conditions met your expectations and that you enjoyed our greens. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
Excellent COurse
Played this course after a day of solid rain and the course was in great condition. Challenging but manageable course. Everyone was nice for first time playing course. Back up on Hole 1 and started said to go to the other course and play. Had no one in front and no one pushing. Just a great enjoyable few hours of golf. Will definitely go back in the future
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Ford's Colony Country Club - Blue Heron Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Terrific! Glad you enjoyed your time with us!
Awesome! Come back soon!
Top Notch Course
Still early in the season, but the driest course we've played this week. Greens were spectacular. Great layout, very fair, plenty of challenges, bunkers were all raked and beautiful (every where else we played they've been terrible). They have 54 holes at Ford Colony and we played Marsh Hawk. I'd go again in an instant. In a couple weeks, the conditions will be like mid-summer and should be awesome
Fantastic! We're glad that our greens met your expectations and that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Muddy mess
Tee boxes in poor condition. Fairways were a muddy mess with few blades of grass to find. Greens were ok. Staff were nice. Wasted a beautiful day and wished I had played elsewhere.
Thank you for your review! We're pleased that our staff left a great impression on you, but we apologize that our course conditions didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and we hope you'll give us another try in the future!
VIP experience, but wet with punched greens
We were treated very well by the staff upon arrival and check in. Odd issue with whether or not the range balls were included in the round or not. Heavy rains from the day before left the course soggy. Layout is top notch. There was no notice that the greens had recently been punched. Slightly disapointed with the cost considering course conditions, but I will play again.
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout and that our staff left a great impression on you. We appreciate your review and we hope to have you back again soon!
Aerated greens
There should have been an aerification alert for the greens. Overpriced for the condition. That being said the layout and treatment by the staff was excellent. Very wet due to rain the prior day. Will play again but not for several weeks.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed the challenge of our layout and that our staff left a great impression on you. We appreciate your review and we look forward to having you back again soon!
MAPLES a southern gem
Wide off the tees with exacting green approaches.
Very friendly design for first time visitors
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round with us!
Outstanding! Come back soon!
Good course layout
Really nice layout and pace of play but probably too early in the season.
Terrific! We're glad hat you enjoyed the challenge of our layout and that you were able to play at a good pace. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round!
Challenging
Great course good condition for winter golf greens were rolling great on the marsh hawk
Awesome! We're pleased that our course conditions met your expectations and we appreciate your review. We hope to have you back again soon for your next round!
A Solid WIlliamsburg Course
There is no shortage of great golf courses (public and private) in Williamsburg and Ford’s Colony offers three very good ones. If you are looking to spend a day in one place and get a good mix, this might be the perfect place.
A short drive from Colonial Williamsburg, Ford’s Colony offers three very nice courses: Blue Heron (currently closed for renovations), Marsh Hawk (the member’s course), and Black Heath. I was fortunate enough to be selected by the friendly starter to tee off on Marsh Hawk despite not being a member of the country club. He promised my playing partner and I that it would be drier than Black Heath, though sogginess proved to be a consistent aspect of my playing experience. This is less a fault of the course maintenance crew and more a fact of recent weather patterns that have inundated the area with copious amounts of rain.
Mudballs and squishy stances aside, the course played beautifully with impressively smooth and firm greens, well-maintained bunkers and good overall condition of the fairways and rough for mid-February. Perhaps because it was a members-only course, I was surprised at the lack of ball marks on the greens though the tees had plenty of grass missing, which is to be expected this time of year.
The layout of Marsh Hawk is memorable though not exactly breathtaking. There are some decent elevation changes and a couple of extreme doglegs but nothing too quirky or tricked up. Having never played here before, I was never at a loss of where to aim my tee shot though a couple approach shots required a peak over a hill or around a corner. Bunker design and placement is forgiving but not a layup, the evenness of the sand in them certainly helps.
I paid $30 after the pro shop staff matched the GolfNow Hot Deal my playing partner had tried to book unsuccessfully. That’s a very good value for this course and the staff here really makes you feel at home.
There are a few other courses nearby that I like the design of a little better so I’m not sure how often I would return but I still highly recommend this course, it’s a good value and an honest golfing experience
Awesome! We're pleased that you enjoyed your round with us and we hope to have you back again soon!
Played Marsh Hawk. Good course, short but a good layout. Lot’s of risk reward holes. Front nine had a lot of water holes which were fun. Back nine was kind of boring. Course was in good condition for the time of year. Greens were great, rolled true and good speed to them. Overall a good course.
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and the challenge of our layout. We're also pleased that our course conditions met your expectations. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
Your feedback is important to us! Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Ford's Colony Country Club - Blue Heron Course.
