Situated between Richmond and Williamsburg, the Club at Viniterra sprawls across abundantly wooded hills. There is no shortage of elevation changes on this Rees Jones and Greg Muirhead-designed golf course. There is a difference of as much as 70 feet from the tee to the green on most of the holes. When combined with the mature trees, the result is a tough layout that demands accuracy. Thankfully though, there are not many water hazards to contend with but there is strategically placed bunkering throughout. The golf course also provides a scenic round with working vineyards running alongside the lush fairways. In addition to being challenging, the Club at Viniterra prides itself on their environmentally sensitive practices. The golf course saves as much as 80 percent of the water used on traditional courses thanks to the use of a drought-resistant grass hybrid.

Great layout

I’ve played other Rees Jones courses - Duke University and The Golden Horseshoe (gold). Another superb layout. Numerous bunkers that snatch your errant shots, greens that were slow, but in great shape with plenty of undulations. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Pace of play was above average. Thumbs up!!!

Thank you for the nice comments. Just an FYI, we did not perform a core aeration. What was performed was needle tines that simply vent the greens. Needle tines usually do not effect the roll of the ball if done correctly.

Again, Thank you for playing and your review. See you soon.

Nice course. Marshal was rude.

Beautiful Sunday round interrupted by a Marshall in the 13th fairway. He said we were two holes behind and we had to speed up our play.. There wasn’t anyone behind us. I said that we weren’t slowing anyone down and we were on pace to play. a four hour and fifteen minute round. He said he didn’t care and we had to keep up with the foursome in front of us and to pick it up.

I get slow play. We weren’t holding anyone up and no one was pressing us. We all are 10-15 handicaps and are aware of slow play. This marshal needs to have a better rapport with golfers who drive by five other courses that are just a good as Viniterra.

Thank you for your review. I am truly sorry of your experience with our Marshal. I have spoken with him on presentation. Again, I am sorry and hopefully it didn't ruin your day entirely. Hope to see you soon.

Don't miss this one.

Lots of geographical variety and t- boxes to suit any handicap. Greens well guarded. Tough but not unfair. Always a bailout. Course shape is fantastic... like your own private country club.

Great course

This is a beautiful course that is challenging yet playable. The layout is unique and scenic. Unbelievable value for the money. It can play as long as you want to play it given the many tee selections. Love this course.

Pick your tee box carefully

There is a distinct difference between the tee boxes. Select wisely. If you want long irons in to many of the holes, pick the green tees. If you would like a chance at birdie from time to time, pick the whites. I’m a 13 handicap. I hit the ball 220-240 off the tee. The green tees are 6700 and the whites are 6100. The whites are much more enjoyable for me.

Fairways are wide and greens are HUGH. Bunkers are in good shape. Tees roll nicely.

It’s a great course and pace of play is usually very good.

Hidden gem

I came up from Raleigh to play. I saw good reviews and liked the layout from pictures. But these do this course zero justice! You have to play it. It is worth every penny. Staff was extremely friendly. This will be our go to course from now on!

Thank you for your comments. As for the grille, we have a wide selection of sandwiches to choose from. Sorry that our Staff couldn't elaborate more on an IPA, but hopefully that didn't deter you from ordering the Alewerks:) See you again soon.

Challenging course

This has always been a top notch well maintained course in the five years that I have played here. This is a challenging course if you cannot keep it in the fairway. Give yourself a break and play the tees that suit your game.
