Golden Horseshoe – Gold Course

Virginia Golf Course Reviews team members were at Golden Horseshoe Golf Club – Gold Course November 13. Our host, Jeff Winters, Director of Golf. His 20+ years at one place is exceptional service to the courses in his care. The Gold Course (1963), designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., and redone in 2017 by Rees Jones, is a masterpiece. Hard to believe you’re playing less than a couple hundred years from downtown Williamsburg! Each hole has its own personality, challenges and unique contribution to the golf experience – we thoroughly enjoyed what we found on Holes 2, 3, 4, 7, 12 & 16. But, honestly, EVERY hole was just a pleasure to step on the tee box to see what the next hole brought. The views from the tee to green and back added so much to the experience; and the par 3s and water holes were especially fun. You’ll want to add this course to your list of courses to visit – and, don’t wait!
