Hole of the Day

1/28/2016

 
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.
