Top 10 Golf Courses in Virginia, United States
Virginia can make American history come alive. Visit Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, tour Civil War battlefields, explore the living history museum at Williamsburg… the possibilities are endless (if the kids object, break up the historical sightseeing with a visit to Busch Gardens). Arlington, site of Arlington National Cemetery, is just across the Potomac River from all the major sites in D.C. In addition to beaches and historical attractions, Virginia has plenty to offer outdoor enthusiasts. Active families will love the Blue Ridge Highlands, where hiking, canoeing and tubing are just a few of the activities offered. Couples might enjoy a romantic mountain cabin in Virginia after a day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

Challenging course where you will find yourself immersed in the natural beauty surrounding you. And the course was in perfect condition. Greens are extremely large with many undulations. You can't miss them by much or you'll be unlikely to see your ball again. A very unique golf experience.

This was by far, the best golf experience of the courses I played in the Virginia Beach area. Tom Doak did a masterful job designing the layout. Check in was a breeze and the folks in the clubhouse and the 19th hole were great. The driving range was closed due to the wet weather but the putting and chipping greens were open and great. The layout winds through wetlands by the river with an occasional large houses off to the sides and out of play. The bunkering is top notch with beautiful shapes surrounding the greens and along many of the fairways. Due to the recent heavy rains, many of the bunkers had standing water. Some of the tees were rough due to the winter but other than that the course was in great shape, including excellent cart paths. There were several scenic forced carries over water and wetlands, which I found very intimidating but I did okay. The greens were awesome, not too fast but challenging with many tiers, ridges, and run offs.

played the course recently with a group of 8 (played 2 times in 3 days). first tee times of the day so a bit of dew on the ground. surprisingly they let us go out. With that said, service at the course is excellent. The course is in great shape. Neat layout with 6 ea. par 3's, 4's and 5's. playing from the back tees still challenging for all handicaps. With the elevation changes, the views of the course and the surrounding areas is spectacular. bit of history on number 1 tee...it is the oldest continuously operating 1st tee in the country. Must do when in the area!

Great course, ton of history associated with it ! One of the most picturesque courses I have ever played. Building that houses the pro shop, is really neat and Lee ( the starter ) is a nice man with a ton of stories to share. A little pricey, but buck up and pay the money, you'll be glad you did !

Don't hesitate to play these gems. Our 4some consisted of 2,3,10, & 12 handicappers and had a blast playing in windy conditions the first day and perfect conditions the second day. 54 holes in 2 days in the fall just as the Bermuda was going dormant. We rented a house in a community in Cape Charles right on the Chesapeake which made for awesome sunsets and could walk to the marina for a good dinner.

Played the Reese Jones Golden Horseshoe GC Gold course last month. Had a great time with friends on the well maintained course right in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. Like most Williamsburg courses this one does not leave anything on the table for any level of player. The elevation changes were fun, most of the time. Hole 18 into Clubhouse has a great view.

I play this course annually and have seen a real improvement. The fairways, greens and bunkets are in great shape. While the cart paths are a bit bumpy all else is very nice. Most of the holes are interesting and challenging although i tend to alternative from the white to the blue tees since a few holes are a bit short. The staff is really accomodating and i have yet to be hampered by slow play
