I loved the course. As a senior women I felt the tees were too long. There should be an option under 5000 yards.

Great

Everyone is super kind and make you feel welcome, great pace of play no one in front or behind us the whole time, really felt like you were out there alone, course is challenging but if you hit the fairways you can have good looks at the green. Awesome course highly recommend.

Surprised

The friendliness of everyone at the course was overwhelming. I’ve played a lot of courses on vacation where they act like you’re an inconvenience for being there. From the clubhouse attendant, starters, grounds staff, they were upbeat and made me excited to play. Great course and experience.

Excellent Compliment to the Gold Course

Good compliment to the gold course. Bunkers need some work. Not as penal as the gold course. Highly recommend the golf package so you can play both courses as much as you want.

Always Feel Welcomed

The Green is one of my favorite courses in the Williamsburg area. Playing "second fiddle" to The Gold (the more famous of the two courses at Golden Horseshoe), I actually like The Green better. It has wide fairways, large greens, and mounding almost on every hole that helps bounce the ball back into the fairway. The course was in good condition except for one thing...the collars on almost every green are dirt. We asked a member of the staff why and he said they cut it too short and it burned out. Unfortunately, this doesn't look burned out...there is no burned out grass, but simply just dirt. They should resod these areas and get the course back in the condition it typically is in. Still a great tract.

Nice course

Very friendly staff and course was in good shape. Played with another golf pass player but 4-some in front of us were incredibly slow and wouldn’t allow us to play through.

Good course.

Good course but was cart path only due to all the rain the previous day. We would not do cart path only again if playing this course as a lot of walking up and down hills to get to your ball and the same to get back to our golf cart. We didn't realize as first timers at this course that it was so up and down.

Green Course

This is one of the most beautifully designed and well manicured courses I've played. However, it was a "cart path only" day, which was very difficult to maneuver. I would not recommend anyone to play there when it's cartpath only. Just too difficult to locate and walk to your shots based on the high mounding borders the fairways on both sides. Just too much walking up and down hills to and from your shot. HOWEVER, I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COURSE TO ANYONE TO PLAY WHEN IT'S NOT "CARTPATH ONLY". JUST A BEAUTIFUL COURSE.

Overpriced

Course conditions- Greens are easily my favorite in the area. They roll true and really challenge your thinking. The layout overall is great and a lot of fun. Especially with a good group. My biggest complaint is the bunkers and practice range. For $90, I expect a nice range to warm up on. At least SOME grass. The range today was a crater field. Bunkers need some love too. They had little to no sand and had tons of rocks in them. Overall were in rough shape. All these reasons are why I can’t justify playing here more. It’s a beautiful course in CW with a fun layout but it’s more of a $65 course. Staff isn’t friendly towards the younger crowd (20-30’s) for whatever reason. They want to do the least amount possible and go home for they are all retirees just working there for free golf. I asked the bartender for a bag of ice and about ruined her day. Great lay out and fantastic greens but ultimately overpriced. They lack in the details..
