To Much Rain

Played this course after very heavy rain storms. We had the first Tee Time of the day. It was cart path only (for good reason). There was water everywhere, most sand traps were completly full of water. Staff was working very hard to get the course cleaned up and the sand traps pumped out.

Underrated Gem

The Gold gets all the glory, but find the Green course in prime condition in the summer and play with the replay rate? You will be very satisfied. Quality conditions and a great layout without the feel of being in a resort. If you are coming to Williamsburg to play the gold, avoiding the green is a mistake.

The Green is a Hidden Gem

Everyone talks about the Gold course--which is the premier course; however, the Green is a really nice course that is worth trying. All nature (no houses), and mounding down almost all the holes, which helps keep your ball in play. The course was in excellent condition, although the bunkers were a little inconsistent, but that was the only thing. The greens were fast and there were only two holes which were cart path only. The Green is definitely worth trying and I even like it better than the Gold...it's one of my favorites.

Simply Awesome Course!

The Green Course was a wonderful experience! Greens and fairways were in great shape and the staff was fantastic! They treated you like family. Glad we chose to play this course on my bucket list. The front 9 was CPO due to the prior day rains, but they allowed us to do 90deg on the back 9. No real soggy spots on the course. Overall fantastic choice for last week's golf vacation.

Fun course and nice staff. Play was a little slow

I played the green course which is at 651 S England street. The gold course is at the addrees where GolfNow sends you no matter what, so make sure you pick the right address for the right course. The gold course pro was nice enough to have a shuttle swing by and take me to the green course. Once I got there, staff was friendly. There is a range with mats and a good selection of targets. Course was fun and in good shape. No restaurant on site, but there is a snack shack with sandwiches, hotdogs and assorted adult beverages and other hydration off thr 4th/13th boxes, as well as bathrooms.

Will go back

Unfortunately the course was a swamp when we played. My friend and I were in on business and didn't know it had rained as much as it had. Not the courses fault but it was just water logged. I would like to go back and play it when the conditions are more favorable. Overall the course was nicely manicured. Bring extra balls because if you go out of bounds your ball is gone.

Worth the drive

Booked as a single, paired with a local. Finished in under 4 hrs. Ample landing areas, demanding approach shots. Early February, dormant fairway and rough, greens in great shape and rolled true. Don't be fooled by the practice green...at least this time of year, on course greens nowhere near as severe. Downhill par 3s take one less club. Uphill par 4s and 5s, take at least 1, if not 2 club ups. Looking forward to a return trip to see how course plays during warmer months.

Swamp

We had a lot of rain this week, but WOW.. every bunker had at least 18 inches of standing water in it. No drainage at all. For the money it wasn't terrible, but I was surprised at the amount of water.
