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.

Very challenging course

Even though I gave it high marks I could not recommend it to my friends. It is very challenging for the average golfer. It was beautiful and very hilly. Driving up and down steep paths was fun. I am an 18 index but I felt beaten up by the end of the round.

Tests your skills

Course was in great condition. Starter does a great job of keeping the pace of play. Not a easy course. Beautiful layout but bring your A game. Not a grip it and rip it course. Course management is a must. Will play it again and again.

Good but hard course

This course is very long and hard. The Par 5 5th hole is long and elevated. Overall it is a good course but it is hard to navigate.

OH BABY !!!!!

One of the most challenging golf courses I've played in years. Visually the course is impressive, and can be a bit scary first time. I'm an average golfer and struggled. Several factors played into that comment; my back had been acting up so had trouble getting through the ball, early in the season so fairways, although clearly defined from the rough were thin, greens recently aerated so made putting "bouncy-bouncy", windy and as another reviewer states, a course that you need to play a few times to know where to and what club to hit. If you get frustrated easily, you'll probably have a miserable day, but I'd like to play it again when it's grown in for the season and oh yeah, my back is better.

Great Experience in spite of thunderstorms.

Course was in solid condition considering it was early in the season. The heavens opened when we hit number 7 but even after a hour of heavy rain the course dried out pretty quickly. Layout was fun with back nine much tougher than front. Staff was great; everybody greeted us with a smile.

Pricing

I réserves with Golfnow and paid full price $90.00 + for two while my partners whom reserved directly at the pro shop paid half the price on Wednesday $25/per.

$90.00 was over priced for the course condition.

wish it was summer

greens had just been aerated, which made putting very difficult. still early in the season so fairways etc are still brown because of the bermuda grass being dormant. When in season this course would be alot of fun to play.

fantastic course....tough time the first time

great golf course and extremely challenging. starter said to play from the whites but it was barely 6,000 yards. i decided to play from he green which is 6400+ yards and it was as much as i could handle. lots of great holes and another course you need to play a few times on where to hit it.

bring your A game

this course started out not overly challenging but after the third hole , thing get very precise with tight fairways that are mostly elevated with wooded ravines on the sides and almost every hole had a ravine too carry I started on the blues but had to switch to the whites was having a hard time carrying the ravines (got tired of losing balls lol) good course if your aim is fairly tight

Amazing & Unique Course

This course has it all. It has many holes that inspire you to hit your tee balls with the right amount of launch angle due to it's forced carries. Greens were in great condition for this time of year. I'm not normally a fan of mountain type course layouts, but I find myself coming back time and again.

Golf get away

Overall great day of golf. Pace of play was an issue, but that was due to the group ahead. It is off season and the marshal had lots of ground to cover. Still a good round.

Nice, but tough

Course was in great shape, lots of elevation changes and forced carries.Starter recommended playing shorter yardage due to the difficult nature of the course, and it was a good idea.

Colonial Heritage Williamsburg.

was greeted by club pro as I made my way to clubhouse. Informed me that our group would be teeing of 30 minutes later then our times, but we would be doing a modified shotgun. Thought great, also told me our group would get a complimentary beverage and free range balls. This is where there was a lack of communication. wished the pro had informed the guys at the register and clubhouse. there seem to be a lack of communication amongst themselves. Golf course was in very good condition, ranger informed us that it was playing long, it did not. So we played the wrong tees, but that was ok. Major issue here was the clubhouse, no food, no ice, no crackers, no beer. In fact the draft beer tasted bad, I work in the beer industry, so have some knowledge in this field. If you are just going to play golf, great place, if you want to include some food and beer, not such a great place.

Nice day nice course

1st time in the area, had decent reviews so we played it. Layout was really nice, greens were decent despite being recently sanded. #6 on the front and #16 on the back were really challenging.. definitely have to be able to land on a number. We played the front with 2 ladies that were members and that was helpful as far as having some direction. The back we were on our own and the pace was much better...
