Golf Course Designed By: Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
Golf Course Brief: The Gold Course at the Golden Horseshoe is laid out over a spectacular landscape set right in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. A demanding but fair tight layout, not overly long, but must be on target...a shotmaker's design. This is one of the best examples of traditional golf course architecture in the world it is said. The course is consistently highly rated by golf publications. It is simply spectacular in its design and conditioning, The fairways roll true and the greens are very fair. The par 3s all require a carry over water with little if any bailout space...one is an island green with water all the way to the green. In fact water comes into play on 7 holes on the course. The par 5s all have generous landing areas and the bunkers are well placed. The par 4s are varied in length and some are pretty long. On the back nine, you are challenged by signature Hole 11. This par-3 requires accuracy to negotiate a green surrounded by water on three sides and well protected by bunkers. An exceptional golf experience.
