A Video With Our Partner - Experience the Course Below! 

Just up the road from Williamsburg, discover Brickshire Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course designed to challenge and inspire. With five sets of tees ranging from 4,892 to 7,291 yards, it’s a rewarding experience for every level of golfer. Signature holes pay homage to legends like Augusta National and St. Andrews, while elevation changes and natural wetlands ensure no two holes play the same. After your round, unwind at The Brickshire Bar & Grille which overlooks the scenic 18th hole. Your unforgettable day starts here.

Visit their website to book a tee time or to check out the Grille’s menu.
