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
Very challenging shot makers course!
Best have your irons tuned in because it not grip it and rip it on every hole. Must think out your shots! Nice course in great shape!
Excellent condition
The course was in great shape and the flow of player allowed you time to play was perfect. Will definitely play there again.
Fairways lush and green, with lots of undulations.
Took less than 2 hours to play 9. Pace great, value and condition great.
Course is awesome except hole 5
Hole 5 is probably one of the worst par 5s I've ever played. Playing from the tips was pretty challenging and a solid championship layout.
Always Perfect
Great greens, great fairways, interesting holes. I have played this course several times and it never disappoints.
One of the best courses in Central VA
Colonial Heritage is in great shape! From tee box to green, you will not be disapointed.
Course challenging but don't play in the heat!
We enjoyed the course--challenging and well maintained but it was a hot day and all of the water containers were MT or could only trickle out. The beverage person came by once during our round.
Excellent Course And Challenging Greens!!
Had one of the best days for golf yesterday out of the entire year weather wise and Colonial Heritage was in "pristine" condition. Greens are always very challenging and it was simply an awesome day together with my son. Best course in the 757 as far as I'm concerned and I've played most of them and keep coming back to Colonial.
Excellent course , well maintained, and fun to play!
Excellent experience! Golf course in great condition in spite of recent rains. Very playable and good mix of holes. Staff is exceptional and cordial. We were rained out after 6 holes and Shawn, the head pro, came out to get us and then gave us a raincheck good for one year for 18 holes! Would certainly come back again and found this course to be the most enjoyable of all we played in the Williamsburg area.
Great Course
Incredible course at a great price. Challenging, yet not too difficult.
Beautiful and Challenging Course
Colonial Heritage is, in my opinion, one of the best courses on the peninsula. It is very well maintained and the staff is very accommodating. While the course is challenging, the pace play is well kept. My twosome finished in just over 3 hours. I would definitely recommend Colonial Heritage for an enjoyable day of golf.
I hope you like hills
Beautiful course, long par 5s, a lot of hills, very well maintained. For a beginner like myself I found it quite challenging, but enjoyable. Lesson learned: turn for the pro shop at the sign that says athletic club.
Worth the money
Course was in great shape with fast greens. Has many blind shots be careful as some holes are not very forgiving.
Excellent experience from beginning to end
Staff changed tee time without question to the next day and I was able to play all 18 holes with my 11 year old son without being slowed down or pushed by a group from behind. Probably my best golf experience in years. The course is immaculate, greens are phenomenal and the number of tee boxes (5) on every hole allows for very good golfers as well as seniors and in my case kids. With 20 min breaks between tee times allows for a zero stress round and the ability for a group to hit from multiple tees based on golfing ability. A must play for anyone in the Williamsburg area. In the future I will travel the 1.5 hours to play CH again as often as I can. Price was very reasonable for the experience my son and I had. We changed our plans so we could play the course again today....can't wait.
Very good condition and great value for the money.
I found this course to be challenging but not overly difficult (as I have heard). The staff was very friendly and the course, driving range and practice putting areas are all well maintained. I disliked only one hole because both my drive and approach shots were blind but the rest were great. Fully intend to continue to play this course which is a great value for the money by comparison to other courses in the area.
This was a great challenge , every hole is different.
Loved the course , great surroundings ,staff were very friendly only criticism would like to have had course layout on card otherwise had a wonderful day.
Great Course!!!!
This is a great Arthur Hills design that winds through subdivisions and beautiful woods with lots of elevation changes. The course was in fantastic shape and the staff was wonderful!!!! The layout is not that long from the tips but does force precise shots to very receptive / firm greens. The practice area is very nice as well. I highly recommend this fun and challenging course if you can get a good deal on golfnow.com because it is a little pricey without their great discounts.
Not for the retiring.........
If you're looking for an easy, level straightforward resort-style course, this is not for you. The changes in elevation, variety of stances and fast greens make this course a challenge. If you shoot over 90 and/or are wayward off the tee, bring plenty of balls. Having said all that, this ranks up there with riverfront in suffolk and royal new kent for offering up a course that plays as good as it looks.
A good challenge, in very good condition (May '13).
I played this course a few years ago when it first opened and it was nice to go back and see how it's matured. The only thing i don't like are the holes with blind shots into the greens, but that's a minor complaint. It's a fun track that I'll recommend to friends.
Great golf
Great course...beautifully maintained ... The couse is Colonial HERITAGE, not Colonial. Colonial was a course in the area that no longer exists
