The Club At Viniterra

Overall course was in great shape for end of April. Fairways and greens are wonderful. The "unique" part for me was all the hills. Some holes it does not enter into play, others it is significant. Lots of woods between holes, that do not enter into play. Little water hazard concerns, some "gulch" hazards, MANY traps to stay away from. I agree with previous review, do not think about walking. Clubhouse hopefully is in transition from temporary to new wonderful building. Friendly staff and good sandwiches at turn. Enjoy!

Great Course, staff seemed a little rusty, I was with a threesome and we tee’d off, next thing you know they are bringing a stranger to join us! We had no clue a 4th person was being added. Overall decent experience.

You want a beast of a golf course as far as length is concerned, look no further. 7,500 yds from the tip. I played the Greens and that was 6,700 yds. No weird forced carries, extremely fair, lots of bunkers. Do NOT attempt to walk. Many, many ups and downs and some large distances between tees. First course we played this week with all the traps raked as if ready for a tournament. Greens recently plugged, but all sanded and in pretty shape. When spring colors pop this course is going to look spectacular.

For February, the course was in excellent condition. The greens were in fabulous condition. The course is fair and each hole seems to be its own space. I have played here a few times and I love the layout.

I played in winter conditions. I got a a very discounted price, and the golf course was not crowded. The course layout is outstanding, and quite challenging from a distance viewpoint. It rewards long hitters. Each hole has its own space, because there is quite a bit of separation between holes.

Cold, windy and wet. Par for Virginia weather this fall and winter - still the course was in pretty good shape. About once a month i drive an hour to play here. The great course, courteous and helpful staff, and next door winery make for a great day on the road.

First time playing here and I really like the layout. Despite the course being wet and cart path only it was an enjoyable round. I will say that I am glad to see that the course has not removed any bunkers from this course to help pace of play. The bunkers here are strategically placed to make you hit the right club and hit it well. Never playing here before I played from the White tees but will move back to the Green tees next time. For winter golf the course is in good shape overall. Clearly there are some severe wet spots right now but nothing too extreme that you can't play out of. The greens are in great shape and rolling really well. Your approach shot will hold and the putts were running true and quick for Jan. The bunkers are in good shape and I only found one that was a little thin on sand. My only gripe is the price for the time of year. It is a good course as other reviews have said but there is a lot of competition in the area that is just as nice if not better for a better value. I do recommend the course and will be back when things dry out a little and green up this spring. Oh and it was a 5 hour round but that was expected with cart path only. They did have a marshal out to try and speed things up but sometimes there is no way to move people along.

Sixth time I have played Viniterra. Weather was cold and windy. Course was quite wet from all the rain and snow - yet, the fairways were in good shape, bunkers and traps raked and greens were at a good pace and rolled true.

Nice course, friendly staff, good value and a pretty good winery next door.

Played off season with dormant grass, temperatures in the low 40's and soft conditions. It was still very easy to pick up on the design and what Rees Jones puts in front of you. There were plenty of areas to stay away from but also wide fairways to play from if you didn't want to accept the challenge of a shot near those no-no areas. Would go back again when in the area. New clubhouse under construction should add to the experience. Did not see another player out on the course this day.

I live in Williamsburg, which is about a half hour drive from the course. There are only a few homes around the course, which is mostly surrounded with beautiful hardwoods and always in great shape. The staff is very personable and professional. Looking forward to the opening of the new clubhouse.

Played a hot deal and hit a couple of locals. 5.5 hours to play 18. In November. Started at 11.15 and almost did not finish.

Course would be amazing. But they need to monitor the pace of play.

How does 2 couples mess everyone’s day up? Playing slow and not caring how big the backup is behind them.

Over a 10 day period, I played several courses in the Williamsburg area. This was my favorite. The conditions were superb and the layout fabulous. They have a great practice facility. The clubhouse is a smaller temporary structure, but a new one is currently being constructed. Moving onto the course; there were many memorable holes. I played both the back tees and the next to last tees. I really didn't look at the yardage, the day I played the back tees, until I got part way through and was thinking this is one bear of a course. It plays around 7500, from the tips! I played well, and felt pretty good walking away with a 90. I would only recommend the tips for a scratch golfer, or better. Even the next set up is very challenging for a single digit. You need to have your tee ball in shape, when playing this course. The fairways are fairly generous, but a bad tee shot will often find the trees and usually results in a lost ball. The rough was not too severe, and a well struck shot would allow you to recover or at least advance the ball substantially. The greens were smooth and I loved putting on them. They were fairly fast, but not so excessive that a higher handicap player would feel intimidated. This course is a little out of the way, if staying in Williamsburg, but is well worth the extra drive. It was less than 30 minutes from my hotel, though, so not too far. Because it is a little further out, I don't think it gets the traffic the local courses do. I had some longer waits on some of the other local courses, but moved around quickly, both days I played here. I would highly recommend you play here!

Traveled to the Richmond area for a wedding and found this place a few weeks prior on this site. Based on the layout and the price I figured it was worth a shot and it did not disappoint.

For starters, when we arrive the Head Pro was there and extremely friendly and outgoing. We spoke with a few members on the practice area and they mentioned that the course was in the best shape they have ever seen and they didn't lie.

The greens were in perfect shape and rolling quick and true. The layout consists of doglegs and various blind shots so I suggest using a phone app or buying a yardage book. Additionally, the course played long from the 6700 yard tees as it was windy and there are various elevation changes.

The course was not very busy so we played in about 4 hours but we took our time if we hustled probably could have finished in 3.5. They are in the process of building a nice clubhouse so there was not a ton to offer amenities wise but the new building looks like it will be a great addition. There is also a winery next to the course so if you are in the area with others that don't play golf send them there and meet them afterwards.

Overall, this place was well worth the trip and the 38$ price on golf now made it even better. I highly suggest this hidden gem. I will be back in the near future.
