Play where the pros have on our stunning River Course. Or shoot a round with history on the Plantation Course. And learn from the best at Williamsburg’s only Golf Channel Academy. It’s all right here.

The River Course

For more than three decades, The River Course has hosted the world’s best players on both PGA and LPGA tours. It has also hosted thousands of lesser-known golfing superstars. Bordered by the calm azure waters of the James River, this famed championship course has tested the mettle of the game’s most famous names. On a still morning, dew still beading on the precisely manicured greens, you can almost hear the echoes of applause for crisply struck irons and delicately holed putts. The River Course inspires you to test your own mettle. The course has been reborn thanks to the efforts of original architect Pete Dye. The renowned course designer tinkered just enough with his layout, bringing out the subtle details that make for a truly unforgettable round of golf. The course is 6,246 Metres / 6,832 Yards from the golf tees and has a rating of 71.1, and a slope of 137.

The Plantation Course

The Plantation Course is an Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay design that challenges players of all skill levels. The 5,881-metre / 6,432-yard, par-72 course favours accurate iron play and good putting. Fairway landing areas are generous, but water comes into play on eight holes, and there’s no shortage of deep woods or yawning ravines. Greens are large and provide inviting targets for approach shots. Once on the putting surface, undulations and swales make getting down in two a satisfying accomplishment. With landmarks from Richard Kingsmill’s 1736 plantation woven into the landscape, a round on the Plantation Course is truly historic.

The Woods Course (Private)

Golf course architect Tom Clark designed this course in concert with two-time U.S. Open champion Curtis Strange. The Woods Course is a classic parkland-style design that occupies a secluded corner of the resort. Ranked #10 of Virginia’s Top Ten Golf Courses by Golf week Magazine, the Woods Course is an instant hit with all golfers. In a recent Zagat Survey, the Woods Course was named one of America’s Top Golf Courses. The Woods Course is a 6,659-yard layout with an interesting mix of long and short holes, giving golfers the opportunity to use every club in their bag. A unique feature is the double green with a bunker in the centre shared by the par-3 12th hole and the par-4 15th hole. The Woods Course is a delight to play, time after time.
