Colonial Heritage Golf Club

Colonial Heritage Club, while in a gated residential community, is very accessible as a semi-private golf course. This Arthur Hills signature course opened in 2006. An 18-hole, par 72, championship course, measures 6889 yards from the tips and has 11 sets of tees - yes, 11 with the combination tees - so you get a range of 3142 to 6889 yards to play with. Other courses should take the time and effort to create these combo tees, giving golfers options beyond the traditional four or five tee sets.

Colonial Heritage practice facilities include putting and chipping areas, an adequate driving range near the tenth tee; a fitness room, pool, tennis and pickleball courts and a restaurant/bar with banquet and special event space for indoor and outdoor events. Membership rates are reasonable for both residents and community members.

Colonial Heritage Club is open to the public and one of the top, most difficult course designs and challenging layouts in Virginia. Missing a green on an approach, or rolling the ball through the green, sometimes leaves a very difficult shot back toward the hole. Fairways are noticeably tighter on the par 4's the closer you get to the hole (note Hole 12). Par fives have fairway bailouts near the green in case a player does not want to take on carries or bunkers. On par 4's, a great tee shot can be rewarded with a seemingly easy approach. But most of them require two excellent shots to play golf at par; one putts on these greens are rare unless you get close! Access to penalized areas like hills/woods/deep fairway bunkers are mostly made accessible with steps, paths, and stones. This course feels like it was carved out of land that could not have been used for any other purpose.

Don't live in this 55+ community behind the guard gate? No problem, just tell the guard you want to play; they'll let you in! It's that easy!
