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

Challenging Course, But Great Fun
I haven't played this course in several years, and wanted to try it again. It is very challenging--you need to think your way around this course and course management is extremely important. Just gripping it and ripping it will only get you into trouble. There are lots of carries over ravines, narrowing of fairways, slopes and unfavorable bounces, and strategically placed bunkers...unless you think your way through each shot. There are two holes that are brutal--#5 and #16. Take your time and work through where you want to land your shots--it probably isn't a driver and probably includes a lay up. The course was in great condition for late November. The rough was not too terrible, and the fairways and greens were in good shape. I joined a group at 11:30 and we were done in plenty of time before it got dark at 4:30. Even though it was fairly busy (on a 65 degree November day), the pace was good. If you like a challenge but playable course, Colonial Heritage will give you both.
Great course!
This was my second time playing this course. Very challenging, but very enjoyable. Greens are in great shape and very fast. Pin placement makes a couple holes nearly impossible to par. Bring a good supply of balls. Some fairways are pretty narrow. Luckily I found more than I lost. This isn’t meant to sound negative as I love a good challenge! I will be back!
Colonial Williamsburg Virginia
First timers played the blue green hybrid. Nice course interesting layout. The ladies played as well from the golf red hybrid and they said it was fun. 9 Handicap from Toronto.. Played it again two days later just the guys. Go play it.
Great course close to resort
Played in an afternoon and was fairly empty due to some afternoon rain. Course was beautiful and most holes were generous off the tee. Course was in great shape and greens were great as well. If back in the area would definitely play again. Value was great for the price
Greens are excellent
Love this course except for the 5th hole - always in good condition - greens were exceptional best in Williamsburg this year - rough was thick so keep it in the short grass
Lovely layout, fun!
Challenging but manageable on whites if you keep it in the fairway. Undulating fairways and great greens. Makes me wanna move to Williamsburg and join the club!
Excellent Pro Shop Staff
Shout out to the Pro Shop. There was an issue with my Golf Now booking as it did not appear in the system. The staff member got me out pretty much on time and with a discounted rate even better than Golf Now. Tough course on a windy day. Greens were great, would love to play this course in the summer when the fairways grow in.
Great Conditions Great Layout
Great Arthur Hills course on a great piece of land. Course has elevation changes and plays through valleys that’s lead to many signature holes. Conditions and pace of play were great.
