A two-night trip to Williamsburg works because the geography is compact and the two strongest courses sit within 15 minutes of each other. This itinerary pairs Pete Dye's River Course at Kingsmill with Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s Golden Horseshoe Gold, two courses from different eras with fundamentally different design philosophies.
Fly into Richmond International Airport (RIC) and drive 60 to 75 minutes southeast on I-64. For golfers within driving distance of the D.
Morning round at Golden Horseshoe Gold, accessible on foot from the Lodge. Robert Trent Jones Sr.
Morning at leisure. The Lodge's location allows a final walk through the historic area before checkout.
The Williamsburg Lodge ($200 to $350 per night) is the recommended base for this itinerary. Its position adjacent to Golden Horseshoe eliminates driving for one of two rounds, and the walking-distance access to Colonial Williamsburg creates a seamless second day. As a Marriott Autograph Collection property, the Lodge offers loyalty program benefits that add value for frequent Marriott travelers. A rental car at $40 to $55 per day is needed for the Kingsmill round and airport transfer. The best months for this trip are April through May and September through October. The compact format also works well in summer, when early morning tee times at both courses allow afternoon exploration before the heat peaks. Book the River Course through Kingsmill Resort directly, and Golden Horseshoe through the pro shop or GolfNow.
