Golden Horseshoe Green Course – A Scenic Classic in Williamsburg, VA
The Golden Horseshoe Green Course is one of Williamsburg’s most picturesque and historically inspired golf experiences. Designed by Rees Jones, son of legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Sr.—who designed the neighboring Gold Course—this course carries on the family legacy with style, strategy, and a deep connection to Virginia’s natural beauty.
Since opening in October 1991, the Green Course has earned national acclaim. In fact, Golf Digest named it one of the five best new resort courses in 1992. Today, it remains a favorite among locals and travelers alike, offering a relaxing yet refined round that appeals to players of all skill levels.
Set Among Mature Woodlands and Timeless Terrain
Nestled on 105 acres of mature hardwood forest, the Golden Horseshoe Green Course provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. With no homes, roads, or developments intruding on your round, golfers enjoy pure, uninterrupted nature from tee to green.
The terrain features gentle rolling hills, natural contours, and strategic elevation changes that enhance both beauty and challenge. Wide fairways offer playability for mid- and high-handicap golfers, while well-placed bunkers and undulating greens provide a true test for lower-handicap players.
Each hole is expertly integrated into the landscape, offering panoramic views of forested fairways, quiet ravines, and Virginia’s vibrant seasonal foliage.
