Kingsmill Plantation Course – A Historic, Player-Friendly Favorite in Williamsburg
Located in the heart of Williamsburg, Virginia, the Kingsmill Plantation Course offers golfers a memorable and scenic challenge. Designed by legendary golf duo Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, this par-72 layout stretches 6,432 yards and showcases Virginia’s natural beauty alongside Colonial-era charm.
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned regular, the Plantation Course at Kingsmill delivers an exceptional round of golf—perfectly balanced between playability and strategy.
Designed for Golfers of All Skill Levels
From wide, forgiving fairways to dramatic elevation shifts and strategic water hazards, the Kingsmill Plantation Course is crafted for enjoyment and challenge.
Generous fairway landing areas let you swing with confidence
Water in play on 8 holes adds excitement and visual appeal
Large, contoured greens test your putting precision
Historic ravines and tree-lined corridors make every hole unique

As you make your way through each hole, you’re greeted by Colonial-era scenery, rolling hills, and mature woodlands, giving this Arnold Palmer course a unique character you won’t find anywhere else.
