About Gold Course at The Golden Horseshoe

The Gold Course at The Golden Horseshoe in Williamsburg, Virginia is widely considered one of the finest resort golf courses on the East Coast and a true masterpiece of American golf design. Robert Trent Jones Sr. created this iconic layout in 1963 for Colonial Williamsburg, and it has earned its place among Golf Digest's America's 100 Greatest Public Courses for decades. The design features Golden Horseshoe's signature 16th hole — a par-three island green that rivals any one-shot hole in the world. Set among centuries-old live oaks and the colonial-era ambiance of Williamsburg, every round on the Gold Course is a historic and aesthetic experience. The course hosted multiple USGA championships, cementing its status as a genuine American golf landmark.
