About this course

The Woods Course at Kingsmill Country Club in Williamsburg, Virginia, opened in 1995 as the property's second championship layout. Tom Clark designed the course in collaboration with Curtis Strange, the two-time U.S. Open champion and Virginia native who grew up playing competitive golf in the region. The course was conceived to complement Kingsmill's original River Course while offering a distinctly different playing experience rooted in the wooded terrain that characterizes much of the Virginia Tidewater area. The routing moves through dense hardwood forests and rolling topography, creating a more secluded and intimate atmosphere than its riverside counterpart. The design emphasizes accuracy and course management, with tree-lined fairways that reward strategic positioning and penalize wayward shots. Elevation changes throughout the property add dimension to club selection and approach play. Water features appear on several holes, integrated naturally into the landscape rather than dominating the visual character. Kingsmill Country Club sits near Colonial Williamsburg and has long served as a residential golf community with multiple courses. The Woods Course provides members and resort guests with a traditional parkland test that contrasts with the River Course's tournament pedigree and open, wind-affected holes along the James River. The layout reflects Curtis Strange's playing philosophy—emphasizing shot-making, strategic variety, and the importance of controlling ball flight in wooded corridors. The course remains a solid complement within Kingsmill's multi-course offering in the historic Williamsburg area.

Getting there

The journey to Kingsmill Country Club begins at Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF), a mere twenty minutes from the club's entrance, or alternatively through Richmond International (RIC), roughly an hour's drive southeast through the rolling Tidewater landscape. Private aviation finds its home at nearby Colonial Heights Airport, offering discreet arrival for those traveling by charter. The final approach winds through Virginia's Historic Triangle, where colonial-era roads give way to the manicured grounds of this James River estate, the transition marked by the shift from working waterfront to the serene, oak-canopied drive that delivers you to Kingsmill's clubhouse overlooking the river's gentle bend.
