Kingsmill - Plantation Course

Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay created a gem and the layout speaks for itself. Almost every hole weaves through the community with houses visible, but not close enough to be in play on most holes. There is ample woods space and well-marked OB lines on both sides of play. There are plenty of challenges here for every level of golfer.

You’ll have to pay attention to signage across the course due to the interwoven nature of the Kingsmill courses. On this course, you don’t return to the clubhouse after hole 9, ordering food from the grill and having it delivered is certainly an option. You might check with the clubhouse before you head out.

Our teams thoroughly enjoyed the Plantation Course experience. While there are always areas for improvement on any course, this is an enjoyable layout. There is little about this course not to like. Favorite holes: Hole 2 - a moderate length par 5 over a gully off the tee, a pond off to the left of fairway and bunkers challenging the approach to the green; Hole 8 - a double dogleg par 5 with excellent risk/reward shots on the way to the green. Cutting corners might help you, but that’s the risk; Hole 12 - another challenging, risk/reward par 5! The approach over a small ditch that separates the fairway from the green on approach is challenging - take enough club; Hole 18 - longer if you follow the dogleg left fairway, however, the challenge is to go for green over the trees on the left to an approachable 274 yards from the tips. Have fun!
