Half a course at this time of year
Because of the wet conditions only one nine (out of the 4) was available so you play it twice to get 18. The fairways were brown but really quite fine condition where you got a little roll at least. It's a nice design but the greens...you're not going to make a putt probably or just decide to move your ball to a different line at the same distance to play them as every green has areas one might call "ground under repair" even if they're not circled as such. Bring a range finder - there's a big difference in yardage usually depending on pin positions.
Nice layout
Am from Wisconsin and golfing on January 1--so thought the weather perfect--52 degrees and sunny. The grass is dormant this time of year but greens were green--as in previous reviews they are not in very good condition, lots of bare spots==but the course is under new management, so hopefully they will come back to be more playable. The course itself is really nice, lots of sand and a few water hazards. Back nine has 3 par 5's and 3 par 3's--but they play very nicely. I am a single woman==very lady friendly place--nice forward tees with a choice of 2 forward tees for a little better challenge for some ladies like me who prefer more of a challenge, but not too long so I can still score well!!! Staff friendly, pace of play was excellent on Jan 1--they are re=doing the Jamestown course, so I played the Yorktown. Would recommend because of layout and great price--but greens are not in the best of shape, so hit it close on your approach!!
The greens are awful
Tee boxes and fairways and layout was great. The problem is the greens. They lost them. some form of wild grass is growing in all of them on both Yorktown and Jamestown courses. You can't putt on these conditions.
Renovation
At the pro shop, it was explained to us that the course had recently been purchased and that the previous owners had gone bankrupt. This was very evident in regards to the condition of the course, especially the greens. In my opinion the course should be closed until the needed improvements are made. We paid for 18 holes but gave up after playing 9.
Course under repair
I was directed to the back nine of each course as the front greens are being repaired. The greens I played were in very poor condition. Leaves covered much of the course. Balls could be lost in the leave in the fairways. I have played both courses in the past and were excellent. I was forewarned from the staff at checkin that there were problems. I will reserve judgment in the future as the new management group gets the course back in shape.
awful!
They lost all of their greens this summer due to a disease. They were still terrible! In my opinion they should have closed the course until all were healed. Came to find out from someone else that Williamsburg National went bankrupt and was just sold a few weeks ago.
Sorry
If they would only spend some time and money this would be a gem
Nice course
Greens were in rough shape but overall nice course.
Good course
This is a nice course. The greens are in terrible shape though. It needs some green work. The fairways and traps were all great though.
Green
Nice layout, fairways in good condition. Greens are the only reason why I would not recommend this course to friends.
Thank you for the feedback. We will continue to work hard to improve conditions, and w appreciate your review.
What happened!
I have never played on a course that has lost all the greens at the same time. They were all in terrible shape we quit after 7 holes because they were unplayable. Bare spots, crabgrass, sand spots, ball marks totally messed up, your ball would jump off line so bad you couldn't putt. The course seems to have been neglected for a long time. It is a shame because it was a good course when I played it last. Even at 10 dollars it seemed a ripoff. I would have had a fit if I had come from out of town on a golf trip and been stuck with this mess !
We're sorry you were disappointed with your round. We've been working to improve conditions but it's a long, slow process. We will continue to put in the work and hope you'll give us another shot in the future.
Needs Significant TLC
From tee boxes to greens the course is not maintained. Weeds everywhere, not groomed. Also, being not familiar with the course they had no layout of each hole making it difficult to place shots, and hitting blind. We did good with a $10.00 Hot Deal...but, based on conditions, not worth much more. We kept thinking...cow pasture...
Course could be really nice if managed and maintained....
We're sorry you were disappointed with course conditions. We will continue to put in the work toward improving and hope you'd visit again in the future.
Worse golf course ever played"
This course should be ashamed of itself to even be open...I booked thru tee off golf..therefore had already paid when I got to the course...there was no grass on the greens..only hard cement dirt..the fairways were crab grass. And bunkers had no sand, only mud..I complained to Tee off..and they called the course to be told they had a few issues because of aerating the greens..lied thru their teeth...make sure you take pictures to prove your not lying...better yet..DONT PLAY!
We've been working the better part of this season to repair damage done to the greens -- part of that process being aerating -- and we continue to see the greens healing each day. We're sorry to hear that it was the worst for you, and that the conditions were not up to your standards but we can assure you that we're working to fix the problems.
Ambushed
Whilst the amenities were fine the greens were deplorable - little grass mostly sand.
Now we know why the cheap round!!!
We have been working diligently to repair past damage on our greens. We continue to see day-to-day improvements and hope you'll give us a second chance in the future. Thank you for your feedback, we'll continue to work to fix this.
Great Layout in TERRIBLE Condition
If Jack Nicklaus was dead he would be turning in his grave! This gem of a course (there are two 18-holes courses) has been destroyed, well, the greens anyway. The fairways and tee boxes are fair to good condition but the greens, well, they shouldn't even take your money to play. Believe every review you see: dirt, sand and maybe one to two blades of grass on each green. You'll see tee times available for the Jamestown course. Forget it, it's totally closed down. The layout was typical Jack - FANTASTIC - the condition of the greens was beyond a joke. Try it next year if they fix the greens.
We appreciate you noting the fairways & tee boxes are in good condition, and we're glad to hear that you enjoyed the layout. We've been working all year to undo damage on our greens, and we continue to see improvements. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future and see improvements.
Unplayable greens
We were warned as we checked in that the greens were not good. Should have been told they were really unplayable. Unfortunately the rest of the course has suffered as well. We played the jamestown course as the yorktown was closed to try to get the greens fixed.
Even at the price don't think the course should have been open for play. Back nine was better than the front. Glad I didn't book for a higher price.
If they get the greens to come back and they bring the rest of the course back then its worth going there but in its current condition don't go.
We have spent most of our season trying to repair the greens from a year of damage. Thank you for noting that the back nine was better for your group. We will continue to put in the work as we've been seeing improvements and have every intention of getting the greens back to their normal condition. Hope to have you back again for a round in the future.
Staff is only good thing about this place
Played Jamestown course. First 5 holes were in poor condition. Burnt fairways, brown, mossy greens with weeds as only "green" around. Got a little better as we got through. Staff was super nice. I would've been upset if I paid more than $25.
We thank you for the kind words about the staff. We've been working the better part of this season to undo the damage done last year and early 2016. It's a slow process but we'll continue to work to improve conditions. We hope you'll give us another shot in the future.
Greens were horrible
The greens consisted of dirt weeds and mud , never seen worse . Take plenty of balls , lots of high unkept fairway . Must not have a green keeper at all .
We're sorry you were disappointed with course conditions. We've been working hard to improve and the greens will slowly but surely get better and better. Thanks for the feedback, we'll continue to improve and hope you'll give us another shot in the future.
Thank you for noting the positives. We've put in so much work to get the fairways back and will continue to put in the work on the greens. Hope to have you back for another round in the future.
