02What golfers say

The word on the course.

How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.

Tom Clark’s Yorktown is the bolder of the two Williamsburg National courses, with heavy bunkering, water hazards and a back nine many players single out as the most interesting daily-fee stretch in the area. The par-3 14th and its tiered green draw repeated mention, and conditioning earns wide praise.

Best forShot-makingVariety

Consistently praised

  • A back-nine routing that mixes three par 5s, three par 4s and three par 3s.
  • Strategic bunkering and water that force club choice off the tee; greens and overall conditioning relative to the price.

Worth knowing

  • More penal than Jamestown; expect to lose a few from the wrong angle.

Golfers recommend

  • Respect the tiered green at the par-3 14th; miss to the correct level.
  • Plot the back nine off the tee; the bunkers do the work if you do not.
