Ford's Colony Country Club - Blackheath Course

A nice day in November at Ford’s Colony Blackheath. Bermuda grass is going dormant but everything is in great shape. The maintenance staff is doing a great job keeping the fall leaves out of the fairways! Thanks Ford’s Colony for offering great value to your GolfNow customers! My friends and I will be back soon.

Of the three courses at Ford's Colony, Blue Heron is the most scenic. I like the use of water on many holes. The course is in winter condition but greens are still running quick. The only criticism I will raise is some bunkers need drainage work. Fairways, rough and tee boxes look good,

This was a beautiful, interesting course. The variety of holes kept play challenging. The service and ambience of the club was very good.

Our tee time was set for Marsh Hawk, not...Black Heath...

Therefore, my rating is specific to Marsh Hawk. Cart paths should be better marked to be able to follow the course in correct sequence. That is our only recommendation. Great day!

Course is in great shape good service and great staff

Always enjoy playing out here. Pin positions were tough on Friday! Course a little backed up but not terrible. Looking great for fall especially the day after a storm and there were no leaves to contend with.

I had not played here for nearly 20 years but it was just as nice as it ever was

Played both the black Marsh and blue heron courses. Like the blàck better with more interesting course management choices. Great shape and friendly staff. Only suggestion would be more signage to navigate course.

Bag drop was easy and the carts were out and ready to go. The check in was simple and quick, I received a code for range balls and the range was in good shape, with plenty of tee boxes to hit from. The practice putting greens were in fantastic shape. The course is in great condition, the fairways were trimmed down very well, the bunkers were all raked and looking good(thank goodness I only had to play out of 1. The greens are in perfect condition and the balls were fast!! There were a few restrooms located on the course, and there were ice machines with cold water at each rest stop!! Overall, one of the best rounds I have paid for!!

They provided super service: help load and unload bags for free, even clean the clubs when returning the cart.

The play pace is controlled well from the starter, no felling of being packed.

I was only surprised they do not give free balls for practice at such rate.

The day was sunny but course was wet due to the rain two days ago. The rule for the day is cart path only. Walking is difficult at the long yardage. Except that everything is perfect.

Really enjoyed the Black Heath course, especially playing from the forward tees. The yardage advantage allowed for a competitive game but not overwhelming. Perfect for seniors who have lost some distance from their game.

Great course, however, front nine took close to three hours. Good thing the group in front quit after nine or we would not be in before dark. No ranger on course! Beverage cart passed us on way to first tee, not to be seen again. Disappointing for a course as good as Ford's Colony.

Played the Blackheath Course & could not ask for a better experience. From the bag drop, front desk & starter, everyone was friendly and helpful. Pace of play was the best all week. Excellent course conditions. Will certainly make a return visit.

This was a return visit to Fords Colony. Always a warm welcome, very helpful staff. 5 hr round, could have been faster, but otherwise an enjoyable day. Will certainly return.

not happy that they had an outing that was was started in the middle of our round and we had to play the front nine twice or have a 3 hour back nine.it is obvious that they are only interested in placing as many golfers as possible on the course for the dollars.

FC was the 1st of 3 golf outings on my vacation up to the Williamsburg area and what a start! From the moment we arrived we were treated terrifically. The view from the opening tee on Blackheath was beautiful and a bit intimidating and it was the first of many. Course in great shape with lots of variety and although the course was fairly booked up pace wasn't bad. Greens were quick but rolled true. Fairways were flawless. Highly recommend for anyone visiting and my only regret is that the course is 5 states away. Thank you Ford's Colony.
