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.

Outstanding value and a great deal

Booked about an hour before playing and was very impressed with all aspects of the course and facilities. One of the best deals I've encountered and I travel quite a bit.

Early in season - course not ready

This is a great course and facility. The fairways are just starting to catch. Price could have been lower due to conditions. I paid mid season rates for a course not ready to play yet.

Hilly and filled with hazards. Missed fairways costly.

Good course but requires keeping the ball in the fairway more so than usual. Made more difficult today because course was cart path only due to recent rain. Plan on going back on another day when course has dried out a bit.

This course has great potential.

Early spring with no grass on the fairways made this course play hard. A lot of blind shots. The greens were just aerated so they were difficult to put. Beautiful layout & scenery was great.

Late January Outing

The staff was very friendly and course was well maintained, however dormat due to the winter. I look forward to playing it again when the temperature warms up a bit and grass is nice and green. On our outing, the pace of play was perfect, as there were no other golfers within a few holes of us all day long.

GREAT SERVICE. GREAT PRACTICE FACILITIES. GREAT COURSE.

I PULLED UP AND PUT MY BAG ON THE RACK. A YOUNG GENTLEMAN CAME OUT AND SAID HE WOULD GET MY CART. I GO INSIDE TO A WELL STOCKED PRO SHOP WHERE I FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DID NOT DISAPPOINT. I CHECK IN AND PAY FOR A YARDAGE BOOK. WORTH EVERY PENNY BY THE WAY. LEAVE OUT TO FIND MY BAG STRAPPED ON TO MY CART AND READY TO GO. THIS DOESN'T COST EXTRA SO DON'T BE CHEAP. TIP! I ASKED ABOUT THE PRACTICE FACILITIES. I'M DIRECTED THROUGH A TUNNEL AND TO THE RIGHT TO FIND A CHIPPING GREEN SURROUNDED BY DIFFERENTIATING CONDITIONS JUST AS I WOULD FIND ON THE COURSE AND BALLS IN PYRAMIDS WAITING TO BE HIT. FAST FORWARD TO THIS AMAZING COURSE. BREATHTAKING SCENERY, OUTSTANDING VIEWS, AND HOLES CHALLENGING YET ENTIRELY TO MUCH FUN. IF I GUSH ANYMORE ABOUT THIS COURSE YOU'LL PROBABLY THINK WE'RE GOING STEADY SO TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT. OUTSTANDING COURSE. OUTSTANDING FACILITY. OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE!!!

Not Easy

Overall the course looked nice and was well-maintained. It was, however, very challenging for my skill level. Would play again, though I'm sure the locals would want me to choose somewhere else. And at this time I'd like to thank my dad for carrying the sandbottle behind me on most holes since I forgot. The day we played was cart path only.

Challenging.

To start with, the practice facilities/ warm-up areas are awesome. The chipping green is in better condition than many courses' putting greens. Arrive early to take advantage of these features.

The course itself offeres challenging play from tee to green on every hole with water, sand, and deep ravines. The ball lies will be uphill, downhill, sidehill, left and right, and include angled teeboxes. (Grip-and-rip/ fast type players should expect to think through every shot to score well.) The smooth, fast, greens will require you to look on at least two sides of the hole to determine decieving lines and speeds. The fairways are dormant which make it difficult to see white balls. However, it is a great time of year to use orange, yellow, or pink. Otherwise, the fairways are in excellent condition.

HACKERS: Please bring a cool dozen high quality (preferably four-piece) balls. My friends and I like to find these types when looking for mine. This course will wear you out.

Loved the challenge and conditions. Would play again.

I look forward to playing this course again. It is very well kept and they have a wonderful staff.

Driving to the clubhouse and to the first whole presents an impressive view of what is an wonderful course. It has hills, woods, plenty of sand and other trouble to get into. The greens are superb, they were fast when I played. I will play this course again during prime season.

Course is in great condition. I love the fast greens. Putts stayed on line. Some holes a bit more challenging due to limited landing areas. Had some issues with the golf cart.
