Really Fun Golf Course

I'm a ClubCorp employee from 2,500 miles away (Virginia) and this was my second time playing this course. Both times were unforgettable!
This round started with a frost delay so we teed of about an hour after our tee time and I really thought we would have an issue finishing. We finished on time and never had to wait or got pushed. The tee's, fairways, and bunkers were in excellent condition! The greens rolled pretty good but were really beat up from ball marks. The staff was great! They kept us informed with the frost delay and one of the marshals on the course fixed my cart GPS because it wasn't working.
Don't have anything bad to say about this place!

Awesome! We're thrilled that you made it back out our way and that you had another great experience with us. We're also glad that the frost delay didn't hold you up too long or make your round too much longer. We're glad that you got to come back and visit us and we hope to have you back real soon!

Best of the 3!!!

Blue Heron is definitely the best of the three courses at Ford's Colony. Like the other two courses it has a great layout! Elevation changes, plenty of water, and demands good shots. The greens were some of the best Bermuda greens I've played. Bunkers, tee's, and fairways were well maintained. Like the other courses, OB is not too far from the fairways. Staff was great!

Greens are Toast

I was really excited to play this course because I'm a fan of Dan & Ellis Maples. Was really disappointed to find out the greens were smoked! The greens were more dirt than grass. In Ford's Colony's defense this has been an extremely brutal summer for Southeast Virginia temperature wise and the greens are bent grass. Fairways and tee's weren't in bad shape. Bunkers were well kept. The course has an excellent layout that rewards quality shots but beware that OB stakes lurk just outside the fairways of just about every hole. Gotta hit the ball where you're looking. Would've given the course a single star if it were not for the staff friendliness and course design.

Fun Track

This was my first time playing here. I really enjoyed the layout! Easier holes mixed in with some more difficult ones really made it an enjoyable round. Greens were in excellent shape! Really enjoyed the Par 3 7th hole!

Enjoyable Course

Really fun round of golf. The course was in great condition for January! Greens rolled great and were receptive. Fairways weren't sloppy and balls were bouncing. And 17 never disappoints!

Thank you for you review! For January it really is amazing that we are in great shape. Hole 17 really is a hole that everyone wants to see and play. Thanks again and look forward to seeing you in the future!

Hard to Beat

Defiantly not thew first time I played this course but easily the most enjoyable. The course was in spectacular condition. From southeast VA and every course in the area was Cart Path Only, and there was not a wet spot on this course. The staff friendliness and helpfulness is unmatched, from the Pro Shop to the Grille. This was not my first time here but I still bring my yardage book every time I play here. I would highly suggest a first time player spend the $$$ and get one.

So much potential

This course has a great layout. Holes have tons of character. Probably has 4 of the best par three holes around! That being said. . . The course has very poor drainage and is extremely wet around 90% of the greens and 17th and 8th fairways were under water. Greens rolled and held decent but had a few significantly low plugs from previous holes. Not a lot of bunkers but what's there needs some sand. Mostly packed sand and clay in the bottoms. Like the title says, this place has great potential. With a little TLC it could be a true gem.

Really fun course

Really wet day. It had rained the whole day before and on & off for the front nine. Course was cart path only but was in great shape. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are up there with some of the better courses I've played. Lots of tee options for all levels of players. Greens rolled great. I'll be back!

Great Track

Played this course a few times. It was in great shape. Tee boxes were a little thin. Probably had some of the hardest pin placements I've seen anywhere when I played. Greens are a defense of this course but they were receptive and rolled smooth.

Awesome Course

It would be very hard for anyone to find a course in better condition in the Tidewater/OBX area. Fairways were firm, dry, and tight one day after decent rain. Greens were legitimately rolling 10' or more. Only thing that was a negative was the wind but I've never played this place where wind wasn't a factor. All around great course/facility.
