Colonial Heritage Club
About
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.

It's not easy to get on the green on the par-3 14th but if you do, you've got a great birdie opportunity. Photo submitted by Back9Ben on 03/11/2020

Look at this, where do I hit the ball Photo submitted by Douglas5507193 on 10/16/2013
A Must Play in Williamsburg
Played on Saturday morning, as a single but was paired up with one the course supervisors, who offered to show me the course. This course offers 4-5 different tee settings, so this course can play from really easy to really really hard. Greens were pretty quick but still rolled well. Hole 5 signature Par 5 is a lot of fun and uphill. Smaller driving range but still great practice facility. I would definitely come back and play here again and for the money its hard to find a better course. Thanks again John!
Best course of 6 we played
Just an excellent golf course!
Wide fairways ( which were not so nice as we had to play cart path only due to extensive rain night before ), large greens and very well kept course.
Only one blind tee shot that was goofy I remember and the variety of holes was both challenging and terrific design.
Friendly staff made the day complete.
A must play in our books.
Gated facility
Wonderful golf course weaving through a housing community. Will need a golf cart. Very challenging, fair course with much ups and downs, and some carrys. You'll hit every club in your bag. It was in great shape in late June. My son and I played in 4 hours...fantastic!
Great place to play gold
This was my second time playing here. Staff is excellent. Really hot 100 degrees. Some water was empty.
Outing
Great course but disappointed there was no asterisk stating there was an outing that day. GN should alert golfers of that. 5 1/2 hr round is not fun and throws off rhythm of play. Staff was great and would go back pending no other "surprises."
Beautiful terrain and great features
Visiting from the West coast, I was very impressed with the course. Located within a retirement community, this course challenges the golfer while providing very scenic holes throughout. From water, trees, to even homes surrounding the fairway, you will be entertained the whole round by hitting blind shots and putting on the tiered greens. With friendly service and in great shape, I would reccomened this course to all!
the hills have eyes
First tee pretty straight forward then the course takes on different persona. Well worth the green fees plus more. Will play every time im in the area.
hilly hilly and it was hilly
A beautiful well laid out and very difficult course, thick rough, blind shots, forced carries, hazards and there isn't a flat spot on the course. very challaging
Great Course, Too Slow
Excellent course to play. Very well maintained and challenging as well. However, it took forever to play 18 (5 hours). It would have been nice to see someone out there pushing people along.
This course was in great overall condition
Great facilities, course in great condition, very challenging highly recommended. If I'm the Williamsburg area go play.
championship course
Course is one of the nicest most challenging courses I have ever played staff was very friendly very clean when you play hear you better bring your A game greens are fast rough is thick sand pits are bigit is trtruly a championship course
difficult
Greens were under repair, fairways were brown, but still in great shape. Very difficult course, a few blind shots, but always fun to play.
If you like variety
I titled this review "If you like variety" because this course stands out....I normally play several courses around Richmond because I like a different experience that each course brings.
This course was good for this!
Conditions were better than I expected (courses have been closed due to snow, and this was "opening day" since the snowstorm). It was wet, but the greens were in good condition. Lots of soggy fairways, so you were able to take a few "standing water" drops. They paired me with a group of low handicappers who usually played all the local courses...they told me "this is our favorite...it's usually in GREAT condition.......and because this area is the highest point in W'burg, the wind presents an extra challenge."
Staff was friendly......
Interesting that this course is in an over 55 community....there are some pretty intimidating forced carries that I won't enjoy when I'm in my seventies!
I don't think you could walk this course......some holes had some long rides between.....but it would be a fun walking course if time was no issue.....lots of elevation changes, beautiful scenery.
What a great layout...
The course offers a 25 dollar round quite often and we finally took the drive over to play it. Food was perfect, (sliders), course is dormant in the fairways being January, but the greens were great, as were the tee boxes. Range was closed due to all the rain/sleet/snow we have gotten so there is not a lot of drain off yet, but WOW, what a great track. Really.
Prolly not a good candidate for walking it, at least the back nine anyway.
Staff was fantastic. I will certainly be heading back to the course in the summer to see it in all it's glory...

This is a fantastic course. Spectacular signature holes. Excellent greens, and fairways. Friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating staff everywhere, i.e. in the club house, pro shop, and range. A real Gem! I can hardly wait to play it again. It has some holes where you can let it rip, and some holes you need to use your head or it will reach up and bit you. All the greens hold extremely well. Your going to love this course no matter how you play, because you can't help commenting on its beauty as you play it.
Visually stunning, amazing quality, difficult.
By far one of the most beautiful courses I've played in Virginia. Everything from the condition of the course, to the faculty and staff was amazing. PGA Tour quality practice center, all the balls you can hit included with round. Not friendly at all to high handicappers. Lots of bunkers, forced carries, blind tee shots, and thick rough. Greens are lightning fast and undulated. You're punished for missing the fairway by the slightest margin. High elevation, and plays extremely long. You've got to use your brain when playing this course, no grip it and rip it here. Worth the pain and suffering if you are a high handicapper just to see how beautiful this course is! Have fun.
Great fall value
Greens were in excellent shape. Couple of groups playing multiple mulligans and ball hawking made the round longer than it should have been but overall a great place to play golf
recent round
Nice course, good shape. Hard to beat for the money.
Play this course!
What's not to like? This course and all of the staff we encountered were fantastic. Start to finish, this course has to be one of the best I've played. The practice area was huge! The practice green was immaculate and fast. We soon found out that every green was just as fast! The use of the driving range was included in the fees. The range was in great shape too! The course was challenging indeed! I am a high handicap, but I loved the challenge! My playing partner had visited here a week earlier and was so impressed, he recommended this course to me. Put this course on your list of places to play.
Must Play
The pratice facility is amazing and it comes with your round so no extra cost there. PGA greens will test your skills on the putting surface. Make sure you take advantage of them so get there early. The course is in great shape challenging on all levels of play. Its a must play for any golfer !!
