Horrible

Let’s see where should I start. Well I guess we can start by saying the practice putting green is more or less dead since it has more dead sports than it does grass, all the greens on the course are almost the same way except for maybe 1-2, the temporary greens were easier to put on than the real greens (2 holes) The bunkers were either wet or had no sand in them to hit out of like a bunker should. The tee boxes were as hard as a rock as well. It’s almost like they have let the course just go and all they do is cut the fairways and that’s about it. I can tell you out of our 4some everyone said they will not be back to play this course for a long time. We could have paid $5 more and played a course a little further away from our homes which is a 4 star rating all day long. We will be making the drive from now on.

Great

We played this course two days after Hurricane Dorian came through and with all the rain they got down that way the only spots that were bad was the driving range and then some areas around greens and the sand in some of the bunkers . If the course had 1 or maybe 2 days more to dry out the course would have been perfect. I highly recommend this course and we will return to play here not only to play the Jamestown course again, but also so we can try out the Yorktown course.

Air Raided

Besides the greens just being air raided with in.a week or so the rest of the course is in super shape. I honestly can’t wait to go back once the greens are back to normal. They also have almost brand new golf carts as well which is also a plus.

Great course

Course was great all around only down falls where it was cartpath only and how wet certain areas of the course where. We totally understood why they wanted you to use cartpath only and we also knew that the really wet conditions in areas wasn’t the courses fault at all because of how much rain was thru this area all week long as well as the week before. We will play this course again and hopefully the next time we are able to play it this area doesn’t get all the serious rain storms like we have in the past 2 weeks.

Really Hope

The course is not currently in the great shape as it use to be some years back, but hopefully with the new ownership (housing community the course is in) they will turn it back into the great course it once was. The course is still in better shape than some out there, but there is some places throughout the course that are not up to par. I can say this course is still one of the better ones around the area, but can be one of the top courses again with a little bit of work. I’m hoping that the housing community can make that happen. I will be playing it again.

Little slow and a little tight

Pace of play was very bad on the front 9 as everyone was backed up. I’m talking we would finish the home we played to get to the tee box of the next hole where the group in front of us was wanting to tee off. Think this could be adjusted by making start times a little bit further apart from each other. I will say however when we got to the back 9 we didn’t have this problem at all, as things started to work like they should.

Course is in great shape from tee box to green, however this course is super tight. Best comparison I can think of is Glenwood. As long as you can hit the ball straight every time and not have a big slice or hook then you will be fine. This course being so tight does make it that much more challenging. The course over all is very nice for the price.

Blown Away

My buddy and me where totally blown away by this course and how well it is taken care of from tee box to green on every hole. If you get the deal like we did for $35 per player on here trust me it is totally worth it. This course as well as the other 2 at Ford’s Colony should easily be charging $60 minimal for this per $18. Thanks Golf now for the great deal we got for this course and even more so on July 4th.

Not to bad of a course

Course was in pretty good shape but the greens need some work as they are the slowest and most inconsitant greens I think I have ever putted on. Tee box to the greens where in good shape but the greens issue is what got me the most.

Glad I choose this course out of the ones I had to choose from

Well at first I was not sure what course I should go to while I was down that way on vacation. I ended up deciding on go to this course and boy am I glad that I did. Course was in super shape, carts have GPS in them and are very nice carts too, staff was super, nice putting and chipping greens as well as a nice driving range. Only thing I would advise is don't think about walking this course as there a few holes where there is a good little ride from green of the previous hole to the tee box of the next one. I will even say if I end up down that way again it is going to be really hard to go to another course after visiting this one.

Pretty Challenging Course w/ nice views

First off I was referred by my step-dad to play this course since I was going to be in the area, and let me say I am so glad I took his advice. This course is really neat, since it is made on the sides of the mountains. That being said this course is not one you want to walk for 2 reasons, 1) being on the sides of the mountains and 2) because there is lots of distance between most of the holes. Course is pretty unique with the way the holes are setup do to being on the sides of the mountains, this is what makes the course pretty challenging. NOTE: make sure you bring plenty of balls just to be on the safe side.

Needs work

Even though it is winter a course honestly should not be in that bad of shape. Sad to see what use to be one of the better courses in VA now like this. Crab grass on the greens, more grass than sand in bunkers, plus much more.
