Piankatank River Golf Club

Wonderful course with a varying layout that was challenging and enjoyable. Played white tees , but probably could have stretched it out one more tee for me. Would need to play the front nine several times to become comfortable with the tee shots. Greens were receptive and challenging. Was paired with another Golf Now tee time and we had an enjoyable round. Will play again if back in the area.

Front 9 is like a mountain course. Narrow and hilly. Back 9 is open and flat. Really enjoyed playing here. Only negative I saw was players don't do a very good job of repairing ball marks on the greens.

Great round on a hidden gem. Even under heat/drought conditions this course was superbly maintained. Staff was welcoming and friendly.. They even accommodated our early arrival by letting us get out before their first scheduled tee time. Loved the unexpected elevations on the front nine and the beauty of the holes along the river on the back. The huge amoeba greens were challenging and offered variation for repeated play. Looking forward to a return trip.

On vacation from flat south Florida courses. Plenty of elevation changes . Very pleasing to the eye and challenging. Totally enjoyed the course and very friendly staff

I liked the hilly layout on the front 9 and links style on the back 9. The course was worth the hour+ drive from Williamsburg with the GolfNow discount for sure. Paired up with a couple of younger golfers and enjoyed the day with very little slowdown.

I’d come back for sure.

This is a favorite to go to when home course is busy with a tournament or just want to do something different.

Played 5/12/2024 (Mother's Day) and weather was perfect. The course condition was good but there were some bare / worn areas on tee box and spotty in fairway for this time of year. This is perfectly acceptable for this price point and it is overcome by the layout (elevation changes and some holes requiring shot making).

The staff is always friendly and want you to enjoy the course. The marshal was very friendly elderly gentleman and was genuinely happy that we were there. He did not do much for pace of play but it may not be his real purpose.

The pace of play slowed significantly on the back 9. We played as a 2some. There was a smooth pace and 3some ahead and 4some behind and both were always in view but not much waiting in either direction. As we approached 10-15, we were waiting on the tee box with the group ahead of us on almost every hole. It appeared that there was 2some a few groups ahead that was holding the course hostage. This is not the first time I have experienced this at Piankatank so I do think that marshals could do more to address issues like this.

The overall experience outweighs any pace issues, and I will continue to go there with friends and family.
