Kingsmill - River Course

“Bordered by the calm azure waters of the James River, this famed championship course has tested the mettle of the game’s most famous names. On a still morning, dew still beading on the precisely manicured greens, you can almost hear the echoes of applause for crisply struck irons and delicately holed putts. The River Course inspires you to test your own mettle. To see how you stack up against the greats of today, and of years gone by.”

RAGA take: Only a handful of Virginia courses can boast that they have hosted a PGA/LPGA tour events in the past two decades but the elegant Kingsmill Resort can wear that distinction, with good reason. A true resort, Kingsmill Kingsmill offers 3 courses, a spa, tennis, and water park facilities (and many more), but it is the River Course that gets all the attention from the lights and cameras. However, it the term “River Course” may lead you to believe waterfront views on each hole, you may be a little disappointed. Yet, the views from 16, 17, and 18 more than make up for disappointed feeling as you look out on the majestic James River. So prepare to play a tough, challenging course, and allow the final few holes create that tranquil feeling coming home.

Kingsmill can be found along the James River in the historic city of Williamsburg. Head south off I-64 and wind your way along rt.60.
