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.

A great course even in late Fall conditions..

Played mid-week, mid-day and as usual Viniterra was an absolute pleasure to visit. Although most greens were heavy with falling leaves, that is golf in early November here. Still rolled true and quick.. Balls stopped nicely on approach shots. All but 2 Blue tee Boxes were in good shape. Rye overseed on 3 of them but that didn't affect us. Fairway and greenside bunkers were nicely mown and well-raked.. and plenty of good sand in this late season. The Staff always bring a cart and a smile to your car for loading... private club ambiance. Current Membership deal is the best on offer in the region. Range and Practice Area exceed any in Central Virginia. As always, a great Rees Jones design and a quiet, unhurried round. Go Play!

Great Challenge

The course was in very good shape considering the time of year we played. The scenery was absolutley beautiful, and even though the bermuda grass was dormant, the course look just as good. You definitley do not want to be playing from the rough on this course. And the bunker placement makes you pay for wayward shots.

Lots of land!

This is a very large course. All the holes are separated from each other which is nice.
There is a comprehensive practice area including chipping, sand practice, and a large driving range.The staff was very cordial and happy to have us there.
On the course the greens are excellent. Smooth, fast and puttable. The fairways are generous. Each hole is tree lined exactly as the other. I found it boring, All the holes look the same from the tee boxes to the trees to the mounding to the shape of the bunkers.You feel like your playing the same hole over and over again. Pack a lunch because there is no stopping after 9. It's like a long day of hiking. The pace of play was over 4 1/2 hours and that was only playing 14 holes. We left. The course was not crowded. They must get a lot of Mr. Golf's up there. .

Excellent example

This course was on our list for a long time and we finally decided to come out. Nice area, it is a winery as well. The course was excellent, the website could have better representations of each hole, but playing is believing. Grass was browning a bit in the fairways as it is that time of year, however each hole is isolated from the others. That makes it quite nice and there is very little distraction. Great experience and HIGHLY recommend. The only disappointment might have been the staff, who seemed a little is distracted for such a price.....

Very Poorly Managed

The starter said we were to maintain a four hour place of play. We quit after 2.5 on the front nine, and never saw a ranger

Great Experience, Incredible Course

Grabbed the "hot deal" for a hot Saturday afternoon. Arrived early for the tee time and was able to go out early, which was great.

First time on the course, greens were excellent, lots of bunkers...was able to visit a few.

Drink cart attendant was super friendly and came by twice on the round which was nice on a hot afternoon.

Can't wait to go play this course again.

A excellent new course

The greens are excellent. Beautiful woodlands between holes. A large number of well maintained sand traps. Six different tees to accommodate all levels. Nice to play golf then stop at the winery afterwards.

Great course to challenge the golfer in you - every hole a beauty!

There were plenty of cheaper options about, but a Rees Jones designed course in a beautiful setting begged exploring.

I was not disappointed, and found each and every hole both interesting in layout and challenging to play. Every hole was tree lined and protected from viewing adjacent holes allowing you to focus on the one at hand and not being distracted from other players near by. It made for a very peaceful round.

I found I was utilizing every club in my bag. The large, firm and undulating greens was a test of my putting ability with plenty of double breakers if the ball ended up a long way from the pin.

Round was a little on the slow side, but this allowed plenty of time to take in the beauty of the course. The New Kent Winery next door was a pleasant way to review the card and decide on the date for the next visit to this great golf course.

Challenging course from all Tees, with excellent fairways and greens

The wife and I played this course most recently in late Jul 13. Fairways and greens were immaculate. We played in the middle of the week, so the pace of play was great; after playing through a foursome, we saw no other golfers. We will play the course again. Play in the AM so you can relax at the New Kent winery next door, which closes at 5.

Each hole is isolated, no one yelling "FORE."

Remember to play appropriate tees based on your handicap and you can score well. If not, you are in for a long approach shot to well protected and undulating greens. While we are young people. Just hit it already !

Great course, staff could use some "Be friendly" classes

The course has always been great. The range used to be free if you were playing 18, not anymore. The guy in the pro shop could be a little friendlier. He acted like I was really putting him out when I asked for a sandwich. By the way, don't ever order a sanwich from here. 2 slices of wheat bread, 3 very thin slices of turkey, and a Kraft American single, that's it, $5.00.

Better bring your A game

First time playing this really challenging layout. You'll need a laser range finder, which the flag sticks are equipped for, otherwise you'll be guessing. The flags are so similar that we could not tell the colors at a distance, Bunkers were not in good shape. Fairways and greens were great! It kicked out butts, but I will be back for more!
