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.

Excellent Design

Now one of my favorite courses anywhere. Arthur Hills laid out a challenging course that makes you avoid bunkers the whole length of each hole. It's hilly and beautiful. Greens are excellent. The color of the tee markers could be marked more clearly. Several memorable holes.

Crazy fast and hard hole locations

Course starts out big and open with some blind tee shots then transforms into a tight wooded course which makes you play a certain shot shape or you will be punished fast greens hard to stick shot on the green a lot of break a tiers

Great Course!

The course is in beautiful shape. It's always nice to get out onto a nice course with well maintained fairways, roughs that are true to form and greens that are on the fast side,, but running true. If you ever get a chance to play this course I would highly recommend it!

Fabolous place to play!

We had the 2nd available time on Sat morning behind another twosome. We flew through the course. The condition was perfect and the layout with a lot of different type holes was magnetic. The greens I thought would be super fast from the putting green but there weren't. If you were going against or with the grain, it was very noticeable though. We will be back even if we have to pay $70 again. Very impressed, even had to take a bunch of photos throughout the round.

A scenic course with a challenge variety.

Undulating greens and fairway elevations differences throughout this picturesque course make it both challenging and enjoyable. The front nine and back nine have distinctly different personalities that provide a variety seldom seen on one course.

Great Time

Boy am I glad we played here on the way home! This is a must play if you're in Williamsburg. We got stuck in traffic and were 25 minutes late…not an issue. Staff was super friendly. Greens were surprisingly hard to read.My golf buddy and I will be back.

More than I expected

First time playing this course so I was a little sceptical with the extremely low rates, when I arrived at the course my mind was blown! I can't believe I played a championship golf course for $30. I'm looking forward to future rounds!!

Great day of golf

The reason I played this course is because I could not get a tee time somewhere else. I did a search of courses in the area and found some great reviews on this course. My expectations were fully met. The staff is very friends, the course is in great condition and the pace of play was wonderful. 18 holes in just under 3 1/2 hours.

Great Course, Great Day, Great Company

The course was challenging enough. There are many ravines to play over with plenty of elevation changes. I played to my handicap of 31.

Rental clubs are of good quality. Friendly staff. I did not use the snack bar so I cannot comment on the food and beverage quality.

I was visiting Williamsburg with my wife who doesn't golf and linked up with a local fellow who caught up with me at the 1st tee box. Thanks Wayne for your hospitality

Shotmaker's Course

The choice of tees is crucial to success on this course. First-timers should play forward. Dog legs and blind tee shots result in some challenging recoveries to well trapped, undulating greens. Fortunately, the course has an outstanding practice facility. Work on your sand play and chip shots from the rough is highly recommended. So, arrive early, practice, and bring a positive attitude. I definitely will return and give this course a second look.

An absolutely hidden treasure

Although I had never heard about this course, with the other Williamsburg area courses touted seemingly all the time, I found this course to be a hidden treasure that must be experienced! My brother-in-law and I were teamed up with a single who had played the course previously and proved to be a great ambassador to guide us on our journey of wonderment. Elevation changes, carry shots and scenic nature sites, (a stand of deer), abounded as we traversed the course with the back nine proving the more difficult of the two nines. The weather is marked as good only because it was 90+ degrees, a little on the hot side for two retired duffers! Enjoy...
