Ford's Colony
Good layout, fairways and greens were in good shape. The bunkers were horrible.

Great! Thank you for visiting us at Ford's Colony Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
A ranger would top it off.
Very Pretty course but it needs a Ranger, the foursome in front of us was playing from the wrong tees. We had a 5.5 hour round.

Home at Ford;s
Great to be back at FC, we own timeshare here and love it. Course was best I've played this year or any other..
Fairways in excellent shape. Greens were pristine.
Really enjoyed food at pub afterwards..

Pristine Conditions
BLACKHEATH: Haven't played this course in close to 12 years and trying to play each course in Ford's Colony over the next couple of months when I'm in Williamsburg. Blackheath is in PRISTINE condition--one of the best courses from tee to green I've played all year (and this was my 80th round in 2021). Even the tees are in perfect shape. The fairways are thick and lush and the best I've played on this year. The rough was also thick, but not overly long so very playable. The greens were beautiful, with subtle breaks, and ran smooth and pure. The only thing questionable were some of the bunkers--but in fairness to Ford's Colony, we had T-storms for five hours last night and the bunkers weren't all that bad considering. (I was in a couple and there was no standing water and were certainly playable.) Given all the rain, I was surprised with 90 degrees for the carts today, but the course drains very well and there were very few wet spots. This course is superb. It is beautifully manicured, has some picturesque holes, lots of magnificent houses along the fairways, water on 13 of the holes, and enough penalty and environmental to get your attention. It's not overly hard, but a nice challenge. You need to hit the fairways or you will get in trouble fast. What a wonderful round today! it's nice to play a course that is well taken care of!
Fantastic! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Ford's Colony Country Club.
Pleasantly Surprised
After a very heavy rain day on Saturday we expected the course to be very wet. We played Marsh Hawk. Many bunkers were full of water and were not playable and were not able to recover golf balls in them. There were some low drainage areas that were mushy. Having said that, the fairways were lush and we were getting roll which was great considering the day before rain. The greens were not overly soft but were receptive. The rough was not terrible though some areas were a bit thick and gave some penalty as they should. The driving range was open but the mats need to be replaced. I don't think I have ever seen the grass open on the main range. Putting greens were in great shape. With few exceptions, the course and amenities were in great shape. We normally partake in the great bar and restaurant but since discovering 2 Drummers smokehouse, that has been our go to after golf.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Ford's Colony Country Club.
Blue Heron was Great!
We played Blue Heron, one of three courses at Fords Colony and it was great. Perfect conditions all arounf, great pace of play and the food in the grill is amazing! Can't go wrong here at all and all the staff are wonderful.

Disappointed
Unfortunately fords colony is the most stereotypical country club golf course I’ve ever played. Members and staff are the most uppity people I’ve come across. Members play a very poor pace of play and didn’t let us play through, then proceeded to tell the Ranger that we were hitting into them (which we were not). We had to wait more than 5 minutes for every shot and we had a 9:00 tee time with no one in front of the members, but remember they wouldn’t let us play through. I won’t play there again but I’m sure the country club doesn’t care.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn't enjoy your time with us and that the pace of play was slow during your round. We appreciate your feedback and will use your review to help us improve moving forward. Thank you again and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.
