Golf Digest recently posted an article about 5 sneaky good golf trips (Golf Digest subscribers only). One of the five destinations listed was Williamsburg Virginia.
Williamsburg, Virginia, is a “sneaky good” golf destination. Why? Due to its blend of scenic courses, historical charm, and year-round playability. Golfers can experience both challenging layouts and nationally ranked courses, particularly at Golden Horseshoe Golf Club, known for its Gold and Green courses designed by legendary architects Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Rees Jones. Kingsmill Resort, another top choice, offers a well-rounded experience with its River and Plantation courses, both of which boast views of the James River.
Beyond golf, Williamsburg offers a unique mix of attractions. Visitors can explore Colonial Williamsburg, indulge in award-winning dining, and unwind with local craft beverages—all close to the courses. This combination makes Williamsburg appealing for those who appreciate history and culture as much as a solid round of golf. The area’s hospitality and variety of accommodations, from resorts to charming inns, enhance the experience, making Williamsburg an ideal yet underrated choice for a memorable golf trip.
