Best public courses near MGS HQ.

[SuperDave]

I'm going to be around the Yorktown area to visit my sister near the end of August. Looking to play one round while I'm there. I'm wanting any suggestions. Like to keep the cost at least under $100. Like something close to the water if there is one. Would rather not, but would be ok while a lot of homes around. Doesn't matter if it's easy or hard. I just want to have fun.

Give me a driving distance. And when you say water are you referring to ocean or just a lot of ponds. Under $100 will be easy as most courses around her don't cost that much. I make you a list later when I can do some searches.

Right here is the man to listen to, along with RexS, as they are locals there and know the scene very well!

Here is a list of public and semi private courses in the Yorktown area.  Any course below should be less than $100

Newport News Golf Course - City of Newport News golf courses;  there are 36 holes.  Haven't played either in years so I can't provide much detail on course contidtion.  No houses (http://www.nngolfclub.com/)

Fort Eustis - Military course but the base is open 

Kiln Creek - Plays through a neighborhood so there are lots of houses (http://www.kilncreekgolf.com/)

The Hamptons - 3 9 hole courses (Woods, Links, Lakes).  The names tell you the style of the course.  Decent courses not always in the best shape but the woods and lakes will keep you on your game  (http://www.hampton.gov/335/The-Hamptons)

Woodlands -  Not overly difficult, average condition but you have to put the ball in the right places.  Play one of the big locla amateur tournaments here and when they grow the rough up it can be difficult.  (http://thewoodlandsva.com)

 

Moving out a little farther from the Yorktown area towards Williamsburg; also a little more expensive but you can find deals on GolfNow.

Colonial Heritage -  Good Condition,  in a neighborhood but not may houses come into play.  Great course. (http://www.colonialheritageclub.com/)

Fords Colony - 3 courses but one is currently closed to replace greens.  I am a fan of Black Heath; played it a few weeks ago and it was in good shape; got a $29 deal on a Sunday Morning.  No houses in play,  but there is water to play around  (http://www.clubcorp.com/Clubs/Ford-s-Colony-Country-Club/Golf)

Kiskiack - Haven't played this one in a few years but from what I remember it was decent.  (https://www.kiskiackgc.com/)

 

Moving the other way from Yorktown,  you could hit Virginia Beach.  Not an area I am really familiar with,  but could do some research. 

Some other courses fairly local would be:

Riverfront - Probably about 30 minutes from Yorktown.  Nice course but again plays through houses.   Tough Greens on many of the holes.  Plays along river.  (https://www.riverfrontgolf.com/)

Sleepy Hole - about 10 minutes past riverfront;  used to host an LPGA event

 

 

Can name some others if you want,  but I think most of the above will meet your needs.

Thank you. I really appreciate your help. And by water I did mean ocean. It's on my bucket list to play a course with an ocean view.
