Ford Colony was great for playing in November. I will surely play again if I am back in Virginia.
The course was very friendly but left a lot of challenges also. There were several water holes and you had to have your A game along. Hole #1 started your thought process right away and on it went. Very good course.

Tight and bring your GPS
The Marsh Hawk course (one of three) at Ford's Colony put a premium on accuracy, particularly with the amount of leaves that are just off the fairway and make it very difficult to find an errant shot. The design is nice, the conditions quite good for November, but there are a lot of things you won't see without a range finder that make it tough to pull the right club or at least miss it on the proper side. Hopefully you'll get paired with a friendly member (as I did) who can clue you in on what's just beyond your sight. This course has a moderate amount of water, I understand the Blackheath course has a lot more. It's worth a trip if you get a good deal on Golf Now.

Great lay-out......dog-legs and elevation changes...Greens well bunkered
As soon as you drive up Ford's Colony "rings" Private Country Club....Short course that will "eat your lunch" when breezy. All day uphill, downhill and doglegs. Course is well bunkered...It is without a question a "play it again" course...Fun Play
3 18 hole championship courses on same property...Great golfing on all 3 courses,,,

Great layout, views and greens
Beautiful course, played the black heath course. 13 out of 18 holes had water hazards. Took a little long to play because it was Veterans weekend so everyone was out. would play here again. Definetly use Golf Now, course is $78 at pro shop, thru Golf Now is $25.

Rough greens
The greens are a little rough and need cutting. Putting was bumpy and didn't run true

Course was in excellent shape after 7 inches of rain.
The course dried out quickly after tropical storm Sandy dumped 7 inches of rain on the region. The fairways were in great shape and the greens were in even better shape. There were some bunkers that were still full of water but not a significant factor to the game.

Nice layout with island green 18th hole.
Nice layout with island green 18th hole. Fun and fair course if you choose correct tee for your level of play.

Great course for a great deal.
The course was in fantastic shape, we rarely had to wait for the group in front of us, and Golf Now provided the experience for a great price.

Beautiful course and facilities
The three courses at Ford's Colony are beautiful and well-maintained. They are challenging to the average golfer, but not too challenging to keep you away. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the grounds are well-maintained, and the facilities are first class. This is a great place to play, and with a deal from GolfNow, a fantastic value. The only negative was the lack of hole layout available while on the course. If you haven't played there before, it is not always possible to know where the fairway goes, or if there is water in play. The small layout on the scorecard didn't provide much help, and I don't think I should have to pay for a yardage book to know what hazards lurk.

layout.
Course was in excellent condition. We only had one delay the entire day. We saw the beverage cart once on hole 7. Didn't see the cart the rest of the day. Driving range is nice. Most other driving ranges let you hit off natural turf. Gives you a better assestment of you warm-up. Great layout.

Beautiful course on a wildlife preserve.
Play was most enjoyable and the scenery was even better. Enjoy life and who you are playing with on this course no matter what you score.

One of my favorites!
First class!
Exceptional golf!
Great place for a few rounds. Nice practice area too.
Play any or all of their three courses. My favorite is Marsh Hawk.
Suggest you request an electric cart. The gas carts are too put-put and smelly. Nice clubhouse, wish it had a better view.

Great courses for a getaway.
Ford's Colony has 3 great courses that are both challenging and set in a beautiful setting. Staff goes out of the way to please.

Great Value, Great Course
Thanks Golfnow, great deal, great course, great day, if only I would have shot better! But something had to be over par! Would play again if the deal comes around again. Thanks!

Beautiful course and area!
The pro shop staff was outstanding! The starters were excellent.
Very friendly place to play and excellent value. We loved it and would play again if in the area.

OK for the price
All three courses at Ford's Colony are average. The greens are usually below average and speed of play is 4 1/2 hours +, but when booked at or below $40 acceptable for the money.

Gorgeous course
Fords Colony has 3 private courses with a different course a day open to the public. We could tell that the staff knew that we were not members. They could have been a bit more friendly to make us feel more wanted. Great golf course!

The course was player friendly for the weekend golfer.
Staff was wonderful. The deal on Golfnow was very inviting and a deal I would do again if in the Williamsburg area. We thought it was a great place to play for golfers who were not members of Ford's Colony.
