Staff
Golf shop personal kind of snobby! Everyone else was great!
Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Fun course
Played 18 on the blue heron it was pretty good but not as nice as the back nine of Marsh hawk
Great! Thank you for visiting us at Ford's Colony Country Club - Blue Heron Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great place to play.
Played Blackheath 18 and really had a lot of fun playing. Great course layout. Every hole a little different than the last. Conditions were very good. Starter was awesome but the rest of the staff here is a bit arrogant. Seems like they just don’t need you there unless you’re a member. Golfnow screwed up tee times twice for us but it turned out just fine. Not their fault. One of the nicest courses in the Williamsburg area for sure. I’d play here every time I’m in the area.
Excellent! Thank you so much for the great review. We're glad you had an incredible time and we appreciate your feedback on our staff. We will make sure to use your review to help us improve moving forward. We hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Ford's Colony Country Club - Blue Heron Course.
Fantastic! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Ford's Colony Country Club - Blue Heron Course. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Looking good!
Played Marsh Hawk. Great service here as always. Course is looking great and there is always great scenery with the beautiful houses that surround the course but aren’t too close to make you uncomfortable. Greens are rolling great. The greens were a touch too firm and a couple of good shots were not rewarded as they did not hold the green. Will be back soon!
Excellent! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Ford's Colony Country Club - Blue Heron Course.
Blue Heron is tough!
Really liked the layout of the Blue Heron course, but man was it a challenge!! The greens are super tight and lightning fast. Some really challenging shots over water and then fairways in many spots.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Ford's Colony Country Club - Blue Heron Course.

First timer
Fairways rock hard. No green grass at all. Greens were ok !

A bit of a disappointment!
First of all, this is the only course anywhere around here that requires you to drop off your bag instead of driving the cart to your car. And then of course you're expected to tip even if you don't need assistance! Not to mention that one of the Bag Boys (the older one) was rude as we were leaving! Just not nearly as enjoyable as the last two times we were there!
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We apologize that you didn't enjoy your time with us. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Winter wonder
Played the Black Heath on a beautiful winter's day. The 18th is my favorite hole in Williamsburg. For the date, the course is in great shape, dormant, but solid.
Excellent! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Ford's Colony Country Club - Blue Heron Course.
Great Course
Course was in great shape. Greens are fast a run true. Overall layout will be challenging for all levels of golfer's.

Bonus weather day in December
The Average ratings are only due to dormant winter grass in December, it was fortunate to have a sunny 75 degree day in December! Jackpot baby

Dont bother trying to grab something at the turn!
We play Fords Colony a lot because we are Marriott owners. Generally I would give F.C 4 stars but not on the day we played. Course condition has always been great, Bag drop staff, great! We made the mistake of trying to get a hot dog and a beer at the turn. We walked in saw plenty of staff but we were completely ignored. After 10 minutes someone that looked like a manger waited on us. So now 15 minutes. Luckily the gents behind us had the same idea, we warned them. Two holes later the ranger chastised us and threatened we needed to pick up. We explained about the turn but he didn't care. Then proceeded to follow us for the next 3 holes. Totally ruined our day! Oh, be warned, F.C. adds their gratuity on everything you buy, even a hot dog.

Very challenging
Course is always in great shape and the greens are very challenging to putt. Recommend to anyone or group to play.
Course has two more eighteen holes courses available to play which makes great if you want to set up a weekend with friends.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Ford's Colony Country Club - Blue Heron Course.
ok, but much better in the spring and summer!
I don't understand why they took the Tee Box markers off the course, but it was kind of annoying trying to figure out where I was supposed to tee off from! Also, a lot of the yardage markers were missing the actual yardage and that was frustrating because my phone died using the golf GPS system. Plus, this is an older course so the golf carts don't have charging portals. I guess compared to the last time we played there things have definitely gone downhill!

Best greens around
Course was wet from the half inch of rain the day before but was playable... greens on the black heath were hands down the best public course greens in the area.
Great! Thank you for visiting us at Ford's Colony Country Club - Blue Heron Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Challenging
After overnight rain the course had standing water on the fairways. Still very playable..... hands down the best greens around, rolling fast and true. Cant wait to play here again.
