The Golf Club At Viniterra

The Golf Club at Viniterra in New Kent, Virginia is a spectacular public layout set amid the rolling vineyards of the New Kent Winery estate, offering one of the Mid-Atlantics most unique golf-and-wine experiences. Designed by Rees Jones and opened in 2009, the course occupies 220 acres of gently rolling coastal plain terrain adorned with vineyards, meadows, and mature hardwood forests. Jones routed the layout to flow naturally through the landscape, with the winery operation visible from multiple holes adding a European vineyard character rarely found in American golf. The greens are large, smooth, and consistently conditioned to resort standards. Risk-reward decisions are woven throughout the routing — long carries over native grasses and strategic bunkering reward bold play while penalizing the undisciplined. New Kent Countys rural setting keeps the atmosphere relaxed and unhurried. A full-service clubhouse and the adjacent winery tasting room make Viniterra a natural destination for golf-and-wine enthusiasts. Golf publications have consistently praised the course for its design quality, conditioning, and distinctive character.
