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.

Beautiful course

We have wanted to play this course for years. When we saw the itbon golf now fir less than 50 dollars And the weather forecast was good it was a no brainier!

First impression was oh oh! Gravel cart paths. But after visiting the clubhouse, Joe, the assistant golf pro, put us at ease and explained the course layout to us. We had a great day of golf on a beautiful course. One of the nicest in the area so far. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to play there again and will keep my eyes peeled for the next great rate. Thanks golf now.

Great greens

The greens rolled very smooth. Better than any of the course in the area. The overall condition of the course is very good and it’s an OK layout. My only criticism would be that three of the par three’s look very similar to each other. The layout is not as spectacular as what I would expect on Rees Jones course.

Lost ball heaven

Let us start Their was no food service I could find. if you needed coffee or anything hot it was not available. water was only available on the course in tanks that I would not draw from. There are no ruffs only very tight fairways. IF I was selling the homes lots available around the course this operation would be a negative. I will never return and I will tell my friends not to waste their money

Rhardy6806.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience here at Viniterra. We are currently still working out of our temporary clubhouse as we wait for our new facility to be completed! We currently grill hotdogs and pre-make sandwiches each day for our guests. We have a single serve keurig machine for coffee here as well. I'm sorry to hear that you will not be back and I hope that you will reconsider to check out our new clubhouse!

Fantastic Layout

Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Sand traps were wet/packed from overnight rains.

Generous fairways, 2nd shot course. Fun par 3's.

Choose the correct tees to play from!!!!

The course was in great condition. There might be too many sand traps but that is what makes it a challenging golf course. Thank goodness for the golf carts which handled the hills with ease.

Greens very nice, fairways in good shape and tee boxes were a little dry. Very challenging, but fair course. Need to choose the correct tee boxes to enjoy their round. Would definitely play again.

Slow Play

They claim a pace of play at 4 1/2 hours, but they do not enforce it. The round today was over 5 hours. We saw the ranger 1 time today, we expressed our frustration with pace of play but he failed to move the slow group up a hole, so we waited on every shot on the back. The layout is great and hole variety is outstanding.

Beligerent Pro

On the first tee there is a vineyard. I have played the course many times in the last two years and have been told ONCE to do a free drop if you go in there. At no time has the staff or the head pro say DO NOT GO IN TO Retrieve Your Ball. There is one small sign that says this and if you come in from in the wrong angle it is not seen. The head pro was belligerent about his sign being seen. At the end of the round we needed a LOCAL ruling as a sign said keep off the grass and use local rule. WHAT IS THE LOCAL RULE. Asked the HEAD PRO and he said 1) No one hits in there, 2) There is NO sign. He was rude and should take customer service classes. I will be back but hope the staff is friendlier.

Sorry to hear about your experience with the staff member when discussing the vineyards on the first hole. Sometimes a local rule sets even the rules guys off a bit! I hope to host you again soon!

Vini Vidi......

Had a bit of a time on the greens, as they have been recently aerated, but we managed to have some fun on this course.

I wouldn't recommend anyone play it alone for the first time, as some holes are a bit tricky, with hazards out of sight of the tee box.
