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.

Slow play

Beautiful layout, tough with a lot of blind shots. Took us 5 hrs to play and no Marshall to move things along. Talked to pro shop and there response was that the starter was too busy to be the starter and Marshall. I asked why the Marshall is also the starter, and they stated that is the way they do it. I recommended they pay for a separate Marshall.

I don't recommend this course.

Beautiful course

Beautiful course and we'll maintained. Long hauls on the back nine, so make sure you have plenty of time. The grass in the rough is long enough you'll have a run for your money finding your ball, so do your best to keep it on the fairway.

WOW! Believe what you read!

Everything about the facilities were first class. Great driving range, outstanding short game area, and a putting green that should have foretold what lied ahead. As well maintained a course as I have ever been on. Loved the greens, thought they were bent but nobody in the clubhouse knew. Super difficult, but I repeat, WOW!

Slow play epidemic! After close to two hours to play 6 holes we gave up

This is a great course! Challenging! You should have golf experience to play! Lots of forced carries and blind shots as well as narrow landing areas!
Trouble was from what we saw of the 10 golfers ahead of us none broke 110! Just bad timing I guess!

Poke and Hope

Great golf course, from the boxes to the greens it was very well maintained. For the golfer that strays from the fairway bring a few more balls you can lose it in the rough. Not to mention there is a few blind shots and trouble on several holes. This is a challenging course. We had a lot of fun playing there and have yet to see one in better shape.

Absolute Gem

We found this by trawling round the courses local to where we were staying in Williamsburg. It look good from all the pictures on the internet so decided to give it a try.

We were delighted to see it in the flesh. A great course with plenty of challenge hidden in it. It is a fair course in that if you put the ball in the right places you get the just reward.

The course has plenty of wow holes and we found it in excellent condition, the only problem was the weather, we were booked for 18 holes but could only complete 9 due to heavy thunderstorm all afternoon.

Will return to do the whole 18 holes as soon as possible we loved it.

Bring Your A Game

One of the area's gems. Excellent value when booked on GolfNow. Staff at the course very friendly and helpful. This course is very challenging due to elevation changes, narrow fairways, and an abundance of rough. You have to think about each shot and need to be able to place your shots in order to be successful. If you can't do that, you may be needing to replenish your stock of balls at the turn.
Can't wait to play this again.

Excellent Course

My wife and I played, through a coupon/discount thru Golfcaddy. WELL WORTH THE MONEY! Our first time there. The weather was beautiful, staff there were extremely friendly and accommodating, and the buildings on the grounds in colonial construction, large and absolutely beautiful, with some nice large water fountains near the fairways. All areas on the course were thick with nice green grass, and A1 greens! Nice challenges on the holes. Nice also NOT being ripped off for the price of drinks, and items in the Pro Shop - all very reasonable.Our compliments to the general staff, and the grounds crew. Excellently done folks! Definitely a course all of you reading this should play. We'll be back!

Top shelf golf course

You can believe the good reviews. Wanted the best golf we could find from Richmond to Va Beach based on recent reviews and the reviews about this course were spot on. Very well conditioned, large firm greens that roll true, lots of undulation and challenge, fun and interesting layout you'll remember.

Best course in the area

The course challenge almost every shot. There are a few easy holes but you must keep the ball in the fairway. The rough will challenge every shot. The greens are perfect and fast with few if any pitch markes.

Tons of character!

Really interesting golf course. Has holes that make you go "wow". One hole has a waste bunker the entire length on the fairway that is dropped down 15 feet from the fairway. Another par 3 has a double tier green where the upper is 10-15 feet higher than the lower. Land on the upper when the flag is on lower, god help you.
Having said that, i wouldn't call it gimmicky. Just fun! But tough.
Bring some extra balls you may lose a few, but definately come play here. Great course!
Oh yeah, a few awesome cart path drop offs.
