The Green Course
The Green Course, designed by Rees Jones and opened in 1991, perfectly blends the challenge of championship golf with a spectacular mix of natural terrain that accommodates varied playing skills.
Offering fairways and rough carved from 250 acres of mature woodlands, the Green Course plays 7,120 yards, par 72, from the championship tees. Water comes into play on six holes, two played over water and four with lateral hazards.
Rees Jones drew inspiration from his father Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s iconic Gold Course to create the acclaimed Green Course in Colonial Williamsburg. The Green Course is longer than Gold but also more forgiving—creating an entertaining challenge for golfers of every skill level.
Hole By Hole Tour


















Hole 1
Straightaway off the tee to a tight landing area, the fairway has grass mounds and bunkering on each side. The uphill approach leads to a rising green flanked by sand and grass bunkers on the left and right.
Hole 2
A forced carry across a ravine leads to a plateaued fairway, with bunkers and grass mounds lining both sides of this gentle dogleg left. Sculptured grass pockets and bunkers lead up to the wide, side-hill green.
Hole 3
A wide landing area provides relief from fairway bunkers on the left, with the entire right lined with grass mounding. The large, tiered green complex includes four sand bunkers and grass bunkering.
Hole 4
Eight bunkers with a variety of character line the right side, with the more open space on the left setting up a good angle for the approach. The green has two oval bunkers (right) and one pot bunker (back left).
Hole 5
This dogleg-right curls around a thick tree line, with an assortment of 12 bunkers stretching up the left side of the landing zones. The green is framed by two massive bunkers, with a third back-left.
Hole 6
Open but demanding off the tee, the fairway has bunkers on each side and the approach must carry a ravine and be accurate to a hillside green framed by spectacular trees and two bunkers on each side.
Hole 7
Downhill across a thick-growth wetlands area, the undulating green slopes down in front, toward a left-side bunker and grassy pocket areas. A deep right bunker sits below the green on the left.
Hole 8
A demanding and intimidating tee shot over a ravine lead to the landing area of this long, tight dogleg-right. Trees line both sides, with a narrow bunker stretching some 70 yards along the left to the green.
Hole 9
The elevated tee looks across a deep swale to a hillside green. A wide bunker blocks the target line, as does grassy mounding between it and the green. Two bunkers are placed out wide on the left and right.
Hole 10
The fairway bunker on the far right is a good target line on this short dogleg-left with, with club selection key off the tee. The round, elevated green is guarded by a large bunker wrapped along the front and right.
Hole 11
A dramatic setting that is both beautiful and intimidating, the elevated tees look down across a pond that must be carried to an amphitheater green, surrounded by four deep pot bunkers.
Hole 12
Demanding distance and accuracy, this fairway turns slightly right. A fairway bunker on the far left and tree line on the right pinch the landing area. The unique, contoured green has two bunkers right, one left.
Hole 13
Although straightway, four clustered pot bunkers on the right and grassy mounds all along the left tighten the fairway. A large front-right bunker dictates a carry to the green, with another bunker along the left.
Hole 14
This dog-leg left curls around a pond, requiring distance and accuracy, with grass mounds lining the right side. The entrance to the green is open, but is bordered by a massive bunker on the right side.
Hole 15
This dog-leg left curls around a pond, requiring distance and accuracy, with grass mounds lining the right side. The entrance to the green is open, but is bordered by a massive bunker on the right side.
Hole 16
Target mounding defines the landscape of this dog-leg right, tucked between tree lines. The oval green, surrounded by trees, is flanked by two long bunkers on the front left, and the entire right side.
Hole 17
The longest par 3 on the golf course, a full carry is required to negotiate the natural ravine and massive, sweeping bunker that is visually imposing as it leads up to the elevated green.
Hole 18
Overlooking a pond from the elevated tees, the fairway narrows beyond the landing area, with bunkering on each side. The amphitheater green is ringed by a quintet of oval and pot bunkering.
The real quality of this course is in its framing. It's very rugged land, a pure virgin timberland of huge trees, primarily beech, oak, and pine. The course defines the shot but gives the player several options. It's a shotmaker's course.
