Williamsburg's Golden Horseshoe, Virginia's Finest?

Golden Horseshoe - Gold Course A 6,817-yard, par-71 layout designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. – has been ranked as one of the famed architects six "Must-Play Masterpieces" and rated 4 ½ stars by "Golf Digest".

Spanning 125 acres of majestic woodlands, breathtaking ravines, rolling fairways, and dramatic hazards, this is pure golf – walkable and completely free of surrounding real estate development. Boasting one of the first island greens ever designed, its 16th and adjacent 17th holes are the only back-to-back entries in GOLF Magazine's "Top 500 Golf Holes in the World."
