I just spent 3 days in Williamsburg at the Kingsmill resort. Before I get into the 3 golf courses I played, the staff and accommodations were superb and at a very reasonable cost. The swimming pool. restaurants and golf courses were all within walking distance.
River Course—extremely well manicured course—the rough is referred to as sticky wicky by the locals–in other words stay in the fairway. That day my superfast Taylormade driver treated me well, my left handed putts were falling and overall it was a good round on a great course.
Plantation Course–similar to the River course but with more narrow fairways. 1 very reachable par 5. Unfortunately the greens were in horrible shape and slick as glass. The course was about to be shut down to try to staighten out the greens.
Gold Course at the Golden Horseshoe–a magnificent layout in the heart of Williamsburg proper. Bombs are blasting from reenactment activities while you play. But the course was in nearly perfect condition. Again the fairways are wide for the most part but the rough is brutal.
All in all a great and very reasonable quick getaway.
