Yorktown at Williamsburg National Golf Club

Williamsburg National's Yorktown Course unfurls across land steeped in American history, offering a golfing experience adjacent to the echoes of revolution. Designed in the modern era, the course traverses rolling terrain punctuated by strategic bunkering and water hazards. Its layout provides a fair test, though some might argue it favors players with a penchant for shaping the ball, with doglegs testing shotmaking ability.

Tom Clark, the original architect, crafted a course that blends challenge and playability. It has since become a popular draw for local and regional players, but hasn’t hosted significant professional championships of note.

Yorktown remains a solid test of golf in a region rich in both history and excellent golf options. While it might not command the national spotlight, the club holds a special place for its tight-knit membership.

The clubhouse buzzes with the friendly rivalry typical of a welcoming club. Yorktown's camaraderie is perhaps best exemplified by its members' fervent, unending debate: whether to order the "Patriot Burger" before or after tackling the challenging par-4 18th.
