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
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.
Great course but needs a guide book
We had the first tee time of the day and had booked our round through GolfNow. The price included a cart and a balls at the range. The only issue we had was we arrived early enough to warm up at the range but we made it there before some of the staff. We ended up waiting for a cart to be pulled out and practice balls to be put out on the range. Once on the course, we quickly realized there were going to be some challenges as we didn't know the course, there was no course guide book provided, nor were the holes laid out on the scorecard (there was no way to know where the trouble areas were located and there are several blind shots that this information would have shaved a few shots had we not been forced to lay up). Otherwise, the carts were in great shape, the staff was super friendly, and the greens/fairways were immaculate. This would have been a 5-star review had we had an idea of where we should have played our shots on the blind holes.
Must Play!
Can't wait to come back in the fall, really love the layout! Great staff, all around great day!
Exceptional
Must play, even during dormant rough winter season. Can't wait to return for full complement of experience available.
Great Course, but slow play
Slow play is the only thing preventing 5 stars. Presumably it's the lay out that slowed things down during my round. Even though there were mostly two-somes on the course we had to wait for almost every shot.
Course was immaculate, with the exception of traps that were being renovated. Leaves were blown off greens and fairways which really helped.
Fun and challenging
This course is eye candy. It is definitely not as easy to finish as it is good to look at. It challenges you and like the gentleman I played with said you will lose balls if you think you can rip it here in the course. Plan your play. The greens are huge and challenging. The fairways are well maintained and decent amount of bunkers to keep you in check. I loved this Arthur hills course.
This course is fairly tough, and visually appealing.
The course was in very good condition, although fallen leaves on the more wooded holes made it tough finding your ball, even in the fairway. It is a shame that some people don't care to fix their ball marks on the greens, especially on the very nice, smooth rolling ones this course offers. We repaired several big ones in addition to our own on most holes. I had read reviews of the course, noting comments that balls were easily lost anywhere off the fairway, and that the purchase of a yardage book ($6) was advisable. I concur. I lost some balls just off the fairway in rough that was well maintained, and not all that tall. I'm still scratching my head on where they got to. On the other hand, I found as many nice name brand balls as I lost, so it's a wash. The yardage book, while pricey, is very helpful to a first time or infrequent visitor, and makes a nice souvenir. I'll keep it in my bag for my next round here, as I intend to play this course anytime I'm back in the area. Really, really beautiful, fun, and interesting course to play.
Nice range and practice area.
Loved the course. I expected a fairly level course for a retirement community, but was pleasantly surpised with the undulations throughout the course. Good consistent speed on the greens. Some narrow fairways, but there were also generous ones. Some appeared challenging, but a decent shot was allthat was needed. I would definitely play this ourse again if I am in the area. Pace of play could have been faster, but still enjoyed the course.
Course is challenging, a great test of golf
This is a great golf course, easily the best course in Williamsburg. Course was in great condition and the staff were very helpful and friendly.
Always slow pace of play
Difficult layout for average golfer, greens are consistently good, pace of play consistently very SLOW!
Clubhouse service was very good. Course was in very good condition. Greens were excellent, but very contoured and sometimes tricky.
Solid 15 hole course, but more enjoyable the second time playing with many blind shots from the tee and into the green. 3 holes were contrived #5, #16, #17 to fill out a full 18 hole layout. For example, #5 is a par 5 - I hit a 6, PW, and 8 iron to the green and made par. It took me several minutes on the tee to figure out a target and select a club. #17 look like something in a golf cartoon. Overall too many houses and too close to the course. However, it was a fun day of golf with very good conditions and I would only recommend it to an experienced golfer looking for something different.
Awesome Course
I played this course and I didn't know what to expect. When I attemped to play hole number five, I realized I need more practice to handle this great course. Very Nice!!
this course is a must play
we played on oct.11 .The course was in good condition despite all the rain.the staff were really friendly, If you are in the Williamsburg,Virginia area make this course a must play.
Challenging
Not a flat lie on the course. Hilly and sloped. Greens have lots of contours. Great holes and laid out for a terrific day of golf
Great golf course where each hole gives you a different look.
Had a great time. Driving range was out of balls when we arrived, but balls were delivered within a couple of minutes. Very nice practice facility.
We didn't have a yardage booklet, so it was difficult to judge where and what to hit on a few holes. Fairways, greens and tee boxes were immaculate. Surprising amount of elevation change on a number of holes. Five sets of tees, so you could pick your degree of difficulty.
Great value
The course especially the back nine is challenging but fair. The pace of play did suffer without a ranger to monitor.
Excellent course for average golfer
We are a four-gal foursome that traveled to Virginia to golf. This was one of our favorite courses that we golfed during the week. The only issue was the greens were in semi-bad condition so we only allowed 2 putts on any hole. They had recently dressed the greens and had some diseased greens. It all worked out. Beautiful course and would definitely tell anyone they need to golf this course. Easy for women to par but greens created difficulty for my four-some.
