Magnolia Green Golf Club Discounted Tee Times

Magnolia Green Golf Club

Magnolia Green Golf Club (formerly known as Westham Golf Club) serves as the centerpiece of Magnolia Greens, a resort style community planned for 3,550 homes with ancillary commercial and retail uses. Magnolia Green features wide-open Bermuda-grass fairways with undulating terrain and elevation changes providing challenges for golfers of all skill levels. Wildlife is abundant and streams have been fully-restored and lined with native shrubs and grasses to create the natural and environmentally-friendly course. Magnolia Greens features a Nicklaus Design and Tom Clark layout. Click below for discounted tee times!


The 18th Hole at Magnolia Green in Moseley, Virginia is a great finishing hole and caps off your round at a course which has garnered great reviews and captured awards since its opening last year.  As one of Golf Digest’s Top New Golf Courses in 2015, Magnolia Green is definitely a welcome addition to the public golf scene in Virginia and probably the best public course in the the Richmond area.  As the course matures, it will only get better.  You will find a challenging, but fun layout, with a great mix of short and long holes.  Plans are also in place for a new clubhouse and golf learning center, all of which should open next year.
 
The finishing hole #18 is a brute of a Par 4, measuring 474 yards from the back tee.  Your tee shot must navigate its way between the trees and fescue which line the fairway.  A pesky fairway bunker sits on the right at about 285 yards off the tee (from the back).  Should you get in trouble off the tee, you will need to lay up short of the creek which crosses in front of the green at about 100 yards out.  If not, you have a mid-to-long iron (or hybrid) approach to a multi-tiered green, fronted by two large bunkers.  Like many of the holes at Magnolia Green, you also have some closely mown chipping areas around the green.  Just hitting the green here is a challenge, but your job is not over.  Depending upon the hole location, you could be faced with a difficult two putt if you are not on the correct level where the hole lies.

Hole of the Day

PictureView from the Tee at Kingsmill's River Course #17
​Set along the banks of the James River, Kingsmill Resort’s 17th hole of the River Course may just well be the signature hole of the facility.  Measuring 177 yards from the back tees, you have to hit a precise iron shot to a green 51 yards in depth and narrows as you go farther back.  Depending upon the hole location, your club of choice may vary by at least 4 clubs.  The green is protected on the right by the James River and two deep bunkers.  If you bail out left, you face a steep embankment and a downhill lie for your next shot.  Also of note when you play this hole…look to the right and you will see the old docks of Burwell’s Landing.  This was the site of the main port of entry into Williamsburg during the 18th century.  Up to the left of the green was Burwell’s Ordinary…a social gathering place for those using the port and I’m sure a place where a good pint could have been had.  Today, you will have to wait until you get to the clubhouse to enjoy that pint.
