Kingsmill Resort - River
Williamsburg, VA — The River Course at Kingsmill Resort, designed by the legendary Pete Dye, is a standout example of his early design philosophy, seamlessly integrating with the natural landscape of Williamsburg, Virginia. Opened in 1975, Dye’s approach embraced the organic contours of the wooded terrain rather than relying on bold architectural elements. This par-71 course has a rich championship history, having hosted the PGA Tour’s Michelob Championship from 1981 to 2002 and now serving as a venue for an LPGA event. The final three holes are particularly memorable, winding along the James River. The par-3 17th, perched atop a bluff, is the signature hole, offering both a scenic vista and a strategic challenge that has been televised countless times. Ranked among Golf Digest’s Best in State for Virginia, the River Course offers a strategic and unforgettable experience for golfers of all skill levels.
