Designed by renowned architect Dan Maples, the at Ford’s Colony Blackheath Course in Williamsburg, Virginia, offers golfers a picturesque and challenging experience. This par-71 course stretches 6,621 yards from the championship tees and is known for its natural rolling terrain and lush woodlands. Golfers will encounter water hazards on 13 holes, nine doglegs, and bunkers guarding every green, demanding strategic play and precision.
A standout feature is the 18th hole, a short par-4 with an island green. Water protects the entire left side, requiring an accurate iron shot to the fairway. The approach shot is particularly intimidating, as players must hit to an undulated green completely surrounded by water, making par a commendable score on this closing hole.
The Blackheath Course’s combination of scenic beauty and strategic challenges makes it a must-play destination for golfers planning a trip to Williamsburg through Virginia Golf Vacations.
