About this course

The Marsh Hawk Course at Ford's Colony Country Club is located in Williamsburg, Virginia, one of three courses on the property. It opened in 1984 and was designed by Dan Maples.

Marsh Hawk is a traditional, tree-lined layout with narrow fairways, well-placed bunkers, natural lakes, and noticeable elevation changes, playing to a par of 72 at 6,650 yards from the back tees. Architect David Johnson later carried out a renovation that rebuilt and enlarged the greens and bunkers while keeping the original character of the course. It has hosted the Virginia State Open and served as a PGA Tour qualifying site.

The course is part of a 54-hole private club at Ford's Colony, with play limited to members and their guests rather than the general public.
