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.

Your welcome

If you like a challenge and enjoy playing in very natural surroundings , this course is made for you . Housing development yet to develop so play in natural, quiet setting. Can play little long just because of all the strategically placed traps you'll try to avoid. Main reason writing this review is because of the thank you we received. Have played another course on the other side of Richmond this year where even though played at a very good pace the Marshall was always visible and seemed to be in a surly mode. Gave my playing partner very unwelcome feeling. Here noticed Marshall couple times and once passed him between holes and he stopped had short conversation and we moved on. My partners were in another cart , didn't hear and were anxious as to what was said. He stopped said we thank you for coming out and hope you guys having great day ,knuckle bump , and continued on. Needless to say We will be back soon, probably in next couple weeks.

Golf good - food no

The place was very enjoyable however the lack of food/ drink near the 9th green or 10 the tee was particularly troubling. We had no idea that all we would see were the few water coolers set about the course. The staff did not alert us to this situation at all.

golfermike70,

Thank you for playing at our facility! We plan to upgrade our food and beverage operation as soon as we can. Until then, we offer three different meal options in our clubhouse. Along with an assortment of chips, crackers, and dessert items to pair with a gatorade or cold alcoholic beverage!

Beautiful Natural Setting

Love that every hole is world onto its self. Only holes that you can view another is from the eighteen and I think ten as they take you out and in . Course conditions very good , considering all the rain. Yes little sloppy in spots but really amazing shape of fairways , traps and greens with all the rain. Very interesting layout that can play long , just because of the doglegs and startgically placed traps. This is not a walking course. Long cart ride through the woods from each green to tee, but just adds to the beautiful natural setting . Last time had to play through some wild turkeys , this time just saw a couple does . Very nice practice putting and chipping green. Only thing missing is a 19 th hole . For those of us that enjoy a good lunch, cigar and beer after round , this is a small issue. Love the course and always treated with great southern hospitality. Will be back even though I live 50 miles away in south west chesterfield. Oh and thanks to the inconsiderate people that had planned an outing there and cancelled at the last moment. Gave us a great round in 60 degree day , yes overcast, but enjoyed the round immensely .

Nice Layout in Very Nice Area

Staff were VERY friendly and helpful, as I've always experienced there - played here 4 times in my life. This time, our foursome (was the first time for 2) were pleased, and I guess too early for the wildlife - we saw none. The fairways are hard to get a shot off of with hybrids or woods - not much grass there yet. Better to stay with irons. A lot of sand - so beware and keep a look out for this! This was a good buy for the price, and we like the course layout. We would highly recommend Viniterra.

Good design

The course is a great design. I played a couple of weeks after the greens were aerated, so they were imperfect to say the least. That being said, I enjoyed the course and will come back again.

jerrybuck,

Thank you for your review of our facility. We expect our greens to be back in smooth and true condition very soon. The aeration of greens in golf is a difficult time for any golf course who wants to produce an excellent product all year round. Superintendents remind us all that this maintenance allows the greens to be pristine for many months during the hot Virginia summer.

See you soon!

Viniterra review

Course layout on the front 9 wasn't too bad. There were a few holes that had blind shots. Most holes on the back seem to have blind shots on every hole. In many cases it wasn't obvious where the landing area was.

The clubhouse is nothing special. As a matter of fact it wasn't much of a clubhouse at all. I guess the expectation is that you go next door and drink wine after your round as they aren't able to serve alcohol as of the day we played.

I would not play this course again.

Yes , clubhouse is weak but they do sell beer and always gotten my yuengling there . Only thing I can think of with blind shots is there are a few doglegs, but course well marked so can always see the blue 200 yard pole and the White 150 . Aim to get inside 150 and you'll have good round . Scorecard also very good showing shape of holes and any hazards are marked very well . I'll definitely be back.

Not quite sure what dssquires is talking about. Just to defend the layout at Viniterrra, which I've played a half dozen times. Blind shots??? Where? Not on 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, or 18. Oh wait, there is not 1 blind tee shot on the golf course, what course were you playing dssquires?? Course is right in front of you with plenty of visual definition off the tee to guide you thru the course. One of my favorite and most beautiful layouts I've played. Give Viniterra a try, if you're a true golfer you will not be disappointed.

dssquires,

Thank you for coming out and playing Viniterra for the first time! We hope to be in an updated clubhouse as soon as possible. With our many tee options here, White Tees are the most friendly to 15-19 handicappers. Even the Gold Tees are acceptable because I think we can agree that golf is more fun when you're playing well and striping it down the middle! I am sorry to hear that you will not be back, have a good day and keep golfing!

Sincerely,

No Adult Beverages

I truly enjoy playing this course when I can. The problem I had was there was no adult refreshments. I occasionally enjoy a cold frosty beer when I play and there were none to be had. I hope the new management will expedite this process before my next tee time.

Thank you for your comments. We have been working diligently with the Alcohol and Beverage Control Office to straighten out our license to allow us to sell beer again. We estimate the waiting period to be completed the second week of April. Hope to see you soon!

Pretty good coures

Went out to play for a Saturday afternoon with two friends from college and had a good outing. For anyone coming from Richmond, note that this place is FAR from Richmond and will take you at least 35 minutes to get there. Once we were there, the golf pro seemed very rude and standoff-ish, with very little interaction from other staff at the course. Only other downside was the pace of play...easily would have been a 5 hour round so we had to call it quits after 14 holes. Course was in good shape though and had some challenging holes to keep you on your toes.

Jamesbd5,

Thank you for coming out and playing our course! Saturday the 20th was a very busy day with such great weather in Virginia. Unfortunately, rain had accompanied that weather which forced us to be cart path only. With 9.5miles of cart path, our course rangers do their best to keep the average round between 4hrs 45min - 5 hrs when carts have to stay on the path.

In regards to the travel time, the secret to dodging the traffic is using Route-60 E! It runs parallel to I-64 and you never have to use the interstate!

I hope that this helps and we look forward to seeing you here at the club again!

Joe

Great deal on Golf Now, otherwise I can't afford to play at this course. It was misty and cold throughout the day. The fairways were saturated, but no standing water. I appreciate the care they take with their course. Can't wait for a better winter day and great deal. I'll be back.

No record

The course had no record of my the tee time when my fellow golfer and showed up. I had to show them the Confirmation. I did not get tee time I scheduled. But they did honor the rate posted on Golf Now and gave us two bags of practice balls free of charge.

Great layout

This a great golf course that will challenge anyone's game with multiple tee box's . The club house is in progress of being built now. Practice range is large with putting green ,sand bunker, and chipping green. Truly a hidden venue in Virginia a must play. The greens are receptive and roll true with different tiers. Putting the drive in the fairway is a must with trees and drop off on either side of the fairways. I travel 50 miles to play this track golf now has a couple of deals every day.
