Course Description
Williamsburg Golf Club, formally Williamsburg Country Club, was established in 1958. The land, of great historical interest, was a site in the Civil War involving the capture of Fort Magruder. Fort Magruder was the center of the Williamsburg Line. During the Battle of Williamsburg, General Magruder's men were key in delaying Union troops on their way to Richmond. The land, fertile farm land, later served as a storage and shipping point for cattle in both World War I and II.The Club is situated on 153 acres of rolling fairways, lake and marshes serving as the natural habitat for several species of birds and fish. The Course also served as a host for the qualifying tournament of the 2004 USGA Women's Open along with several other premier Four Ball tournaments in Virginia.In 2009, new ownership enlisted John LaFoy, Golf Course architect, to update and modernize the course while maintaining the original character. The complete course rebuild consisted of new tees, fairways, greens, bunkers, cart paths and a state of the art practice facility. The Golf Course was not the only area of the club that would undergo major renovation. Interior designer, Reese Fowler of Seattle was hired to update the Clubhouse. The complete remodel, interior and exterior, perfected the colonial charm of the Club. The rich enhancements included granite counter tops, custom cherry wood lockers, an expanded Grille Room, beautiful furnishings and a patio overlooking the 1st and 10th tee and fairways and the 9th and 18th greens. The Club re-opened in June of 2010 as Williamsburg Golf Club, the leading private golf club on the peninsula.In 2016 Williamsburg Golf Club was named Coastal Virginia Magazine's "Best Golf Club" at the Gold Award level.
