I will play it again

First time playing. They have some serious bunkers and moguls to contend with, should you stray too far off the faraway. Overall, the course was in good shape. It’s a long course. If you are a big tee shot and second shot type of player, the course may not present a challenge, but has just enough distance for 230-250 yard crowd. It was fun and I would like to play it again.

Hidden Treasure

The Green Course is always underrated. It is just as much of a challenge as the Gold Course...I really like this course!

Great course

I like it way better then the gold course. Plays through the woods and very secluded unlike the gold course plays on top of each other. This is one of my new favorite courses and for sure a top 5 for the 757 area! It’s a must play at $45 dollars for 18

Great track

The layout is excellent. 6,300 yards from White and 7,100 yards from the tips. Fairways were in very good shape. Course has good character. The greens are in nice condition but roll very slow. At $50 with cart for mid-week play, it is hard to beat.

Dry, But in Good Condition

Clearly, the Williamsburg area has not received much rain. I noticed the ponds at The Green were very low and looked like they were only 1/4 full. There were certainly some dry, hard-packed areas on the fringe of some greens (not too many), and around the paths leading into the fairways. But the fairways were in good shape, as were the bunkers. Additionally, the bunkers were manicured and edged nicely. The greens showed no signs of aeration (earlier reviews) and they were extremely fast with some tough reads. The only area which really showed the need for TLC were the tee boxes...they were almost bare of grass. I love the layout of this course, the mounding bordering so many of the fairways, and the "forest" feel (no houses on the course). The staff are always welcoming and helpful as well.

Horrible

How can you even charge any money for this course ???
Playing in a tournament on the US Am tour and the conditions were horrific.
Fairways were mostly dirt and the rough was very patchy.
The greens were punched with huge holes that weren’t even filled with sand.
The greens were awful and unputtable ....... ridiculous.
Even the practice range was all dirt ........ why don’t you put us on the mats at least. Full course on a Saturday and no beverage carts
I will NEVER spend another dime here EVER

In need of a lot of help

I can honestly say that this is the worst course I played in Williamsburg. It clearly needs help. The Gold course gets all the attention. They did not accept or confirm GN tee time that I requested which was cheaper than a rate to a group I was playing in. At least 13 tee boxes have very little grass. While it did rain a bit the week I played, it was soggy. The greens were the worst I have played in years. Aeration with finger size holes was done 3 weeks ago, so I was told, but they had not healed or top dressed properly. Personally they were punched to early as the course gets very little sun until close to noon and sits in a low area. I would not recommend this course for at least 2-3 months. Williamsburg National is in great shape.0

I regularly play this course and for this time of year it was in great shape, considering all the rain and snow we’ve had over the last couple of weeks!

One of the best

Note that I am terrible at this game, but I had a ton of fun playing the green course. I felt like it was well suited for a player like myself who is still learning, but still wants to feel challenged.

All that said, the course was in flawless condition. I’ve only been playing for 2 months but this course was by far the nicest I have played. The staff were wonderful in giving directions and overall provided an amazing experience that makes me want to come back week after week.

They provided cold water bottles and unlimited range balls as part of our tee time package, which was only $30 for me on a Friday afternoon and it included the cart.

I can’t wait to go back and I can’t praise this course enough. 10/10

Today the course was in good shape. They had just recently aerated so the greens where a little bumpy but that’s understandable. The only thing that was little challenging was the bunkers seems to be hard. But I guess if would have stayed out of them, they would not have been that bad LOL ! Overall great courses. I will be back!
