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
Excellent mountain course
Great combination of long and short holes. Beautiful course challenges entire bag. Greens were fast and subtle. Visually striking track with wild turkeys running down the fairways.
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 course
Tough course. Really challenging for all handicaps. I really enjoyed it! Such a beautiful venue...well manicured. A must play course. I played Golden Horseshoe green course and I'll tell you, this course is on par w/ any course in the Williamsburg area.
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!!
Overall open wide fairways!
Not much woods, little to no water, but hello bunkers! Nice course... Really enjoyed it and the facilities.
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
Perfect condition
Every time I go, the course is in great condition. Nicest public course I have played in the area. Overall a challenging, but playable, well maintained course. Great value.
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...
Great layout
Great course for the value. I'm playing again tomorrow as a single. Always meet a nice bunch of guys.
Great golf course in Williams burg
Me and my son played this course. We had to deal with late rain showers but the course held up and the weather let us finish 18 holes. Staff was outstanding getting us out earlier than designated tee time. Highly recommended this course.
Not my favorite.
Too many elevation changes and clown designed holes. Arthur Hills indeed. Lots of blind shots w few yardage markers and deep rough. Didn't help that we were just behind a shotgun scramble tourney. 5 hour round.
Great course, fairways need work
The course from the pro-shop to the practice facilities to the links is top notch. The fairways were in horrible shape. I was hoping to be in the rough off the tee, as the rough was in great shape. They definitely had some kind of issue with their fairways. I am not sure if it was due to the time of year, or other uncontrollable factors. But, when they get the fairways up to par, thsi is one of the best courses in the Williamsburg area, hands down.
You need all your clubs
It is not a course you have to hit it off the tee as far as you can.
It is a fair placement course and if you are playing it for the first time you will need a member to play with or a skycaddy that shows landing areas.
Very challenging
difficulty of the course
watch out for ditches or trenches when you hit your ball off the fairway or rough because the climb will get you. Just let your ball go as a unplayable and move on and enjoy your round.
Good Layout, REALLY slow play!!
We teed off at 8:50 and didn't finish until 2:10! It would've been nice to have been notified that the greens were recently aerated, or simply charge something less than full-rate.
I really liked the layout, although some of the holes are a little tricked up, IMO.
Nice track, but the pace of play makes it less than desirable for a return trip.
Beautiful day on a beautiful course
This was my first time playing this course. I've played other course in the area and I think this one has made it to the top 5 to date. Got a great price on GOLFNOW and couldn't pass up the opportunity. I would have rated the course higher but for the aeration of the greens. Upon arrival the facilities were clean and the staff members were pleasant and eager to help. We started on time and finished in four hours which was a good pace on this course. The first three holes are good warm ups for what's to come. Holes 4 and 5 will make you lose your mind; what a layout! Many tee shots over gorges and blind second lay-up shots to the greens. The greens were aerated and sanded, that's maybe why the price was as good as it was. The practice facility was well maintained and the practice greens were identical to the ones on the course. All-in-all I had a blast playing this course and will have my eyes on GOLFNOW for another opportunity to play it again, hoping to get another crack when the fare ways green up. Recently I've been playing a lot of courses in the VA Beach area because of good bargains, but if I can continue to see opportunities like this one on the peninsula the drive to courses on the south side, through the tunnel will be a road less travelled.
Thanks again GOLFOW and Colonial Heritage I hope to see you again soon.
Great course
Good course they were airing and told us before we got tee times . It is a difficult course with long carries if you play back two tee boxes.
