Memorable

The course is a tale of two nines. Requires a variety of shots, but a great experience for most golfers. Not somewhere I’d bring a first time golfer, but definitely a course for someone still learning or experienced.

Great layout, great value

This course has it all. Great layout, great conditions, great staff and all at a very reasonable price. I've played many courses this fall and winter and Piankatank is in the best condition I've seen. You will be challenged but if you select the right club and be mindful of the carefully placed trouble you'll be rewarded with a great golf experience.

Loved this course!

Let me start by saying this course is in great shape! From tee to green I had no complaints. I love the variety of holes, there are no two holes alike and almost all of them had their own unique challenges. Some more challenging than others. The 3 holes on the river were breathtaking! I love the par 3 going towards the river, water in front and behind. I wanted to play that hole well but sure enough, hit it far and right into the pond! Still love the hole! The staff were very friendly and the hotdog at the end of the round was excellent. I really don’t have anything bad to say about this course! Can’t wait to get back.

Great Layout

We’re in a golf trip, 3 brothers, and could not have had a better time playing this fabulous layout. People were the best to us. Front nine is special, and harder. Tighter with a lot of elevation changes. Back nine is more forgiving, flatter and more open. Both are fun. Lots of fun holes, especially par 3 8th with the bank behind and the double fairway 16th. This is a once a year trip to the Williamsburg area for golf, but we will be sure to play here every year in the future. It’s about an hour away from where we are staying, but so worth it. Best value in Virginia.

A great find!

The published description of the course caught my eye ( elevation changes on the front nine, river view a on the back). We played it on Sunday the 6th of November and the description was spot on. We really enjoyed the course. Undulating greens and a few blind shots really kept our interest. Conditions were great! How did I play? Who cares when the views are as beautiful as they are on the course.
We are looking forward to returning next spring when the trees and shrubs will be in full bloom.

Loved it!!

What a great golf course, front nine with some tricky dog legs and decent elevation changes. Back 9 more level with some great view of the river. Greens were a good size and had quite a bit of undulations. Very enjoyable round of golf

Course conditions ok

Tee boxes were basically rough grass. Green speeds were inconsistent. Otherwise it’s a nice course with good views.
