Colonial Heritage Golf Club offers the only Arthur Hills-designed layout in Williamsburg, and it is also the city's only gated golf community. Golfers looking for a place where they can just 'grip it and rip it' will be out of luck on this course, which requires skill and strategy. It is a thought-provoking design where golfers will want to weigh all of the risk and reward options first. The layout plays through deep ravines that provide interesting changes in elevation. The golf course also features undulating fairways and large, fast greens that are bordered by strategically placed bunkers as well as water hazards that come into play on several holes. Colonial Heritage G.C. definitely provides a good challenge, even for a seasoned player, but beginners shouldn't feel too intimidated. The golf course offers some room for error and the risk-reward opportunities appeal to low and high handicappers alike.

Great Course, Great Time

This was the second time I played here, this time with my three sons. We had a blast. Course is in perfect shape, really nice driving range, chipping area and putting green to warm up. Holes range from definitely challenging to moderate but really nice flow and design. I would play here again for sure. Starter is a good guy originally from up north and very course knowledgeable. Everyone there was very nice.

Very challenging course for a great price

First time playing this course. Located in a gated community where some of the holes play along homes. Great layout, but very penal if you spray the ball. Many areas to lose a golf ball in the woods and hazards. Pro shop had a limited assortment of items. Snack bar was closed throughout the day. There is a large clubhouse that is geared towards the community residents. Conditions were good, including nice greens. I will definitely play here again.

Great play.

This is a beautiful course with beautiful wooded surroundings. The course is challenging and extremely well kept. The fairways were fantastic and the rough was kept in tournament condition. The greens were fair and immaculate. We will be going again as soon as we can.

Enjoyable time

Nice course. We all played the burgundy tees(forward) since we had handicaps from 13 to 30+. No lethal holes, but was not easy either, for our first day out in williamsburg. Course in super condition. Golfnow rate a good value even tho we didn't do a 'hot deal'. Course looks like it would be much more of a challenge as you go back to back tees.

We had fun, and would recommend.

Nice Facility

Course was in wonderful shape from tee to green. Nice practice area with grass range and chipping and putting areas. Pace of play was good but we got stuck behind a few slower players even though we played through two groups. People were very nice, pro shop is pretty good. Only noticed a 'snack shack' and not a sit down type grill room but I might have missed it. Several sets of tees are very helpful as this place would be a beast from the tips. Course definitely plays a little longer than marked because of several elevation changes. Par 5 5th hole is a real challenge. Lots of lay up type tee shots required on many holes. Overall a good challenge.

Great Course

This course was in very good shape. The greens rolled well, and the sand in the bunkers was playable. Several excellent risk/reward tee shots: #5 to carry the native grass to the second fairway. Early in ththe back 9 is a drivable par 4 that will swallow your ball if you miss left or right. There are several other holes that make you think, rather than always pulling your longest club and swinging away.

Only issue was a group of senior ladies ahead of us. Very nice ladies (we chatted at the turn), but they played very slowly and seemed to really enjoy strolling slowly to their balls from the greens to their carts.

Service was great, water for drinking was plentiful, and the course was fun. It was a great day and we’ll be back on our next visit.

Very nice layout.

Course has a very challenging layout. Greens were 10 days+/- post aeration so they were bumpy as expected. Course was upfront about aeration having happened. Ran a special with cart, range balls, round, a beer and hot dog for $35.00. Would recommend to,all,golfing friends. Definitely a must play if younger visiting the Williamsburg area.

Great golf course

Everything about this course is fantastic. The design of the golf course, the condition of the course, and the pace of play are everything you could want in a golf course. The fact that the green fees are so reasonable is just an added bonus. The staff are friendly and helpful. We come to Williamsburg once a year and play this course each time. Highly recommend.

Review of Colonial Heritage

We enjoyed the course. There are quite a few blind shots that even a yardage book might not help. We would definitely play it again and would need a couple of rounds if we were in a tournament. It was in excellent condition.

Great course and great lay out! Fast greens and felt like I was at a country club a private one. Greens were like glass.Very long course from the tips! Rough was great the bunkers were too. From LI Ny and definitely a mist play in the area!

Nice course find

A really tough but amazing course. If you can't strike the ball fairly well and are a shot maker, swallow your ego and play-up to enjoy this technical course. That said- Played On a Saturday am; weather was light on-off again rain. Even in wet, soft conditions, course layout was very challenging. This is not a forgiving course for high handicapper, long hitters. Bring extra balls if you can't check your ego! Tight fairways and small greens. Course is in great condition- greens true & fairways well maintained. Beautiful visuals if you love nature.

Can't wait to re-visit and play again.
