The Best Golf In Williamsburg

Most folks know that we have some pretty good golf here in Williamsburg, VA.  But, do you know where to find the BEST golf?

Without question, the Gold Course at the Golden Horseshoe is the best course.  Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., it is one of the best in the country.  Here are some photos that I took a few weeks ago.

These photos are of three of the most scenic par 3 holes you will find… challenging too!

If you are a golfer, you owe it to yourself to play “The Shoe”!  It’s a bit pricey, but as the old saying goes “you get what you pay for”!

Magnificent Georgian Architecture in Ford’s Colony!

Ford’s Colony in Williamsburg has some incredibly nice homes, and this is certainly one of the best.  I’m going to take you through this home and point out some of the special features.

Media_httplifeinwilliamsburgfileswordpresscom200904gellmanhome1jpg_ghaehfdmefawojg

Just from the photo, I’m sure you will agree that the curb appeal is fabulous.  As you drive up, you will notice the long paver driveway (have you priced that out lately?).

Media_httplifeinwilliamsburgfileswordpresscom200904frontthumbjpg_blrcnmfrpoexuvz

The exterior of the home is both elegant AND maintenance free.  The lentils are cast stone, and you will not find wood anywhere!  Behind the brick is steel reinforced concrete.   This has an equivalent R-factor of 50 resulting in utility bills that are only a fraction of what you would expect with a 6000 sq ft home.

As you enter the foyer, you are greeted by a beautiful custom designed circular cherry staircase.

You will see elegant, multi-piece trimwork throughout the entire home.

 

 

The enormous award winning gourmet kitchen is designed for entertaining as well as culinary pursuit.

Enjoy the fruits of your labor in the adjoining breakfast area, and feast your eyes on the enchanting garden landscaping.

Oh, did you notice the cherry floors?

 

 

The garden setting features a pergola and tiered terraces that over look a serpentine wall.  The plantings have been expertly chosen to maximize the color and interest during all seasons of the year, and provide a most private setting.

You would expect a home of this caliber to have an incredible master bedroom suite, and this first floor suite  does not disappoint.  In fact, this home has a second spacious luxury master suite upstairs!

Walking the Trail in Fords Colony

In Fords Colony, one of the most popular activity in walking on the 8+ miles of trails.

With 2300 homes already completed, Fords Colony is certainly one of the largest communities in Virginia.  700+ additional home sites are individually owned, and we expect to see these developed over the next few years.

  These photos were taken on the Edinburgh loop portion of the trail system.  Walking the trail is a wonderful way to stay fit, and the scenery is exceptional.  It’s beautiful now in the winter, but just wait until you see it in the Spring!

The view here is from the trail looking down the par 5 12th hole on the Blue Heron Course.  There are several fabulous golf views along the trail.
