Resort Info & Directions
Golden Horseshoe
Golf Club
Opened in 1991, Rees Jones drew inspiration from his father Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s iconic Gold Course to create the acclaimed Green Course in Colonial Williamsburg. Carved from the same beautiful parkland terrain, the Green Course is longer than Gold but also more forgiving—creating an entertaining challenge for golfers of every skill level.
Visit the Green Course Golf Pro Shop for attentive service and expert advice from our staff, and stock up on the essentials, including top-tier clubs, balls, gloves, and hats. If you work up an appetite and the end of your round, stop by the Green Course Grill, grab a bite, and soak in the sweeping amphitheater view of the 18th green.
