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
great course
colonial williamsburg is a great course. challenging in many ways. great practice facilities.
bad luck of the draw - they aerated the greens last week or a week before. greens were kinda bumpy. i should have asked before booking t.
not the end of the world.
love this course.
be back soon.
Awesome layout
First time playing this course and absolutely fell in love with it. The challenging greens and blind shots were awesome. Pace of play was perfect. Definitely coming back.
Thank you for playing and sharing your review with us. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to seeing you again in the future.
nice
This course has a lot going for it and they are doing a good job with keeping the fairways and the tees and greens in great shape! Unfortunately though, the rough is too long! We're not playing the PGA Championship out here so I wish they could do a little bit better with that.

Absolutely lovely course!
We played on a 95 degree plus day. It was after 1 pm and the course was pretty empty. We LOVED the layout. The course was beautifully maintained, staff friendly, and pace of play extremely fast. We cannot wait to play again!

Don’t underestimate this “short” course
Great course! Starter gave great overview that helped me during the round. There are some challenging holes but not unfair. No tricks. Just make sure to play from the right tee box. Don’t get fooled by the total yardage. Will definitely come back again.

Fred is the Best
Terrific course, breathtaking greens, and terrific golf experience. Most notably, the entire staff was amiable, upbeat, and professional. A special SHOUT OUT to the world's greatest starter - Fred. He gave us sensational advice, kick-started our play with encouraging and supportive enthusiasm, and made us feel valued and welcome. We cannot wait to return and play again and again.

Lots of Blind Shots
Course was in good shape, but no hole layouts on signage or card and lots of doglegs with bliond spots made it very challenging for first time players

Remains An Unbeatable Value
I'm the type of golfer that will pay a premium for fast, smooth greens and while Colonial Heritage has great conditions overall, their greens are consistently some of the fastest and smoothest in the state. I was shocked given how early in the year it was but they rolled absolutely perfectly.
The layout here remains a challenge for most golfers in any weather but it was particularly windy this day and that made it even harder but still a lot of fun, especially when you do pull off that hero shot.
The staff is great and I had no issues with pace of play despite the unseasonably warm weather. Will definitely keep coming back whenever I get a craving for quality greens!

Staff unorganized...wretched pace of play
once again stuck behind people who do not understand the concept of letting groups play through, staff was there but that's about it......just occupying space pretty much

Challenging First Time Playing
I played 8/1/2020. Course was in great shape overall - tee boxes and fairways in great condition 8/10. Greens were good but not great 7/10 ( we had an early tee time and it rained the day before. they started to get faster and better towards the end of the round as they dried out). The course plays longer than stated yardage due to elevation changes. Several holes require blind shots over hills or around corners into tight greens. If you're a long driver, be ready to play 3 wood off the tees for many holes. The elevation changes were pretty unique to the area with intersting hole layouts that challenge the player to make some tough risk/reward decisions. Good course overall - would definitely recommend. Im not military but they offer a $15 military discount.

Beautiful but tough
This course was in great shape, greens hold very well and have good speed. Some had questionable pin placements but overall they were very good. There are a number of blind shots to severely sloped fairways that border on unfair but if you can hit straight shots, you’ll do well. The course plays much longer than the posted yardage because of steep up slopes to the greens. I would certainly play it again, now that I know where I’m going.

Challenging
The course is beautiful. It was a hot day (90°) when we finished. I'd golf there again.

Very difficult
Too difficult to enjoy . Blind shots with severe slopes.
Thank you for your honest feedback and review concerning the course. We understand that course layout can be enjoyable for some and not for others. We hope that you come back again soon and experience even more of our Club.
Best Course in Williamsburg
Whether local or while visiting this historic area, Colonial Heritage provides a beautiful setting with rolling hills and woods on many holes. It’s become my favorite to play. Now about playing golf. Newcomers may find it a bit difficult with elevated and blind shots as it meanders through the neighborhood and woods. There are tee boxes for all level of player. If in the area, don’t miss your chance of playing this well conditioned course.
Thanks for your 5 star review and feedback, James! We appreciate your commentary and would love to have you back again soon!
