Okay, so I wanna tell you guys about this place I hit up recently – the Kingsmill River Golf Course. I’d heard some good things, and with a little time on my hands, I figured, why not check it out?
First off, I went early in the morning. You know how it is, the greens are always nicer in the morning. The people cut the grass fresh, and there aren’t a ton of people walking all over it yet. Plus, it’s usually not as windy, which is always a plus in my book. I parked my car and walked to the course.
The course itself is called “The River”. I’ve seen some people say it’s one of the best in Virginia. It’s famous because they’ve had some big-time golf tournaments there, both for men and women. Even now, they still have some women’s tournament there every May.
Now, about the course. It’s got a pretty classic design, something a guy named Arnold Palmer had a hand in. They call it a “generous” course, which basically means the fairways are wide. It’s not super long, though. Even if you hit it pretty far, you won’t be walking forever between shots. Most of the fairways have trees lining them, which looks nice, and there are a couple of holes where you’re hitting over these big, deep ditches. They call them ravines, which I guess is just a fancy word for a ditch, right?
Besides the course, they’ve got some good stuff for practicing. I warmed up at the driving range, and they even had a little private area just for practicing. You know, like chipping and putting, to work on your short game.
- Warming Up: Hit the driving range to loosen up.
- Playing the Course: Enjoyed the wide fairways and the scenery.
- Dealing with Challenges: Those ravines were no joke!
- Practicing: Took some time to work on my short game.
- Finishing: I played all 18 holes and took a break.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure at the Kingsmill River Golf Course. It was a good time, and I managed to finish all 18 holes. If you’re ever in the Williamsburg area and you’re into golf, you might want to give it a shot.
