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.

Definitely a championship course. Surrounded by

beautiful evergreen trees. It's like a true private

course with no adjourning fairways. I've been to

Williamsburg before and this is truly one of the

best and if not played you will regret not playing

it because once played I can guarantee you will be

back with more golfers. It is absolutely a hidden

gem.

Challenging course

The course was a very well maintained course with each hole winding through trees. Each hole was totally separate from each other hole. As well it was a very challenging course with a lot of sand traps for the ones that like to play at the beach. I strongly recommend this course for players that enjoy a challenging round of golf.

1st round this year

The course is very open but not too forgiving to sliced balls. The course and staff were excellent. By only criticism is that there really is not much selection in the club house for food, but the beer was ice cold! Perfect round and great practice area, would gladly play there all year!

Outstanding Course!

Very challenging course with major elevation changes. Various tees allow golfers of all levels to enjoy the course. Greens had been punched and were still filling in but rolled pretty good. An awesome Rees Jones design utilizing the natural terrain with lots of bunker hazards. Bring your "A" game when playing this one!

This course is excellent. Would greatly like to play it again. Only reason I rated the course a 4 star was the greens had just been aerated. There are lots of places on this course you can get in trouble with so plan your shots carefully and enjoy. I did. TAD

Thank you for the kind words! Aeration is an unfortunate reality for any course hoping to keep conditions pristine in the busy season. A couple weeks of bumpy end up paying off in May - August in a big way. We hope to see you again very soon!

Staff friendliness.

Staff friendliness. We had an 11:20 tee off time and asked to play two persons, at our arrival st the pro shop they told us that we had to play with two other persons as they were very busy that day. Fortunately the persons were very please and we had a good time. After the round 4:05 pm, we noticed that the parking lot was almost empty which explained why we hadn't seen other players on the course. I guess the staff were just in a hurry to go back home.

Beauzon,

We are sorry that your perception of the pro shop staff wasn't ideal. We did have a very full tee sheet on April 2nd, we were fully booked from 8:30am through 1:50pm. Through our agreement with GolfNow, golfers are unfortunately only entitled to the number of spots that they pay for, two other golfers had booked the same Hot Deal that you had paid for. Therefore they were entitled to the spot as well. If you have any other questions please email us at jwirth@viniterragolf.com. We hope to host your group again in the future and continue to impress you with our course conditions.

Sincerely,

Management

Great course and layout, off course amenities well below average.

As for the golf, the course was great, layout was great, and for end of March, conditions were above average. If you are traveling and want to just enjoy your round, play the whites. The course plays long for sure. Practice facility was definitely above average. As for the outside of golf aspects of Veniterra, there is no place to have lunch/ relax and have a beer. Golf now advertises this place based on its proximity to the airport. However, unless you have a car… Uber will not pick you up there, nor will Lyft or a taxi. I had to scramble and pay as much as it cost to play golf, in order to ensure I got a ride to the airport . There is no lockerroom as well. Lastly, the bag staff was very nice, however the Pro Shop staff lacked customer service skills and had no personality. I would recommend this golf course to any golfer Who is simply looking for a nice golf course to play and doesn't care about post around social activities at the golf course . I could only imagine how great it would be in the middle of the summer.

MikeSteinberg15,

Thank you for the kind words about the conditions of the golf course! We are definitely a little "out of the way" in location. Some agree that is a benefit, but we understand the problem that you had getting back to the airport via taxi. We hope to be higher on the Uber radar soon.

Beast of a course

Played this one from the blues. Was duly warned by the starter and ignored his warning. Probably found 5 fairway bunkers and another 6 or 7 green side. 7.000 yards from the blues. Designed by Rees Jones. Great layout, very challenging. Comparable to Bethpage Black in terms of difficulty. Black is longer but the traps here are very strategically placed. If you can avoid them you can score, if not....God bless....

Tuff but fun.

Long for an average golfer. If you don't know exactly where your second shot is going into the green , you are in serious trouble. Greens were great but very fast. Easy to slide by the hole 6 feet.

Soggy but fun

Course layout is good and even though soggy , where is it not , course ,especially greens , good shape . Pace was slow due to very very crowded . Our twosome paired with another, but good golfers who were out to enjoy day like us so worked out well . Wish the threesome in front of us moved better , but started at one and got 18 in so did ok . Practice facilities good but no real clubhouse for 19 th hole . Beautiful venue , every hole secluded onto itself and lends to the natural feel of the whole course . Normally not very crowded and pace good , but recently they tell me they have been booked solid . Numerous tee boxes so easy to play according to ability .

Great for this time of year

For a time of year with wet conditions, this course drains very well, the grass (particularly the greens) are in surprisingly good shape. The over-seeding gives great fairway definition visually and the layout is the best in 50 miles. Don't miss this course if you haven't played it. It's really spectacular in the spring and summer but even at this time of year it's a great test. Play it up a set of tees perhaps at this time of year as you won't get any roll.

Great place to play

They don't have a real club house yet but say it will be coming soon. Most of the staff is friendly but one of the guys was a jerk. Great Course to play very challenging. As soon as they get a club house this wil be the best place to play between Richmond and Williamsburg VA.

Great Conditions for late Fall

The course is in great shape for the first of December. Greens rolled true. Pick your line and the ball goes where you putt it. Fairways are painted green so you can tell the difference between fairway and rough. Staff was friendly. Played in three hours fifteen minutes.
