🍂 Nothing Beats Fall Golf

Zach’s Note: While I may lose more balls than there are holes in a single round, nothing beats getting out on the course and enjoying the peace and tranquility that comes with the game of golf. Especially at Brickshire! It’s BEAUTIFUL, AFFORDABLE (hard to find in the greater Williamsburg area!), and in GREAT SHAPE.

Just up the road from Williamsburg, discover Brickshire Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course designed to challenge and inspire. 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. Your unforgettable day starts here.

Williamsburg Trivia 🧐

Fact or Fiction? Upon completion of construction of Governor's Palace in 1722, three soldiers stood atop the building and fired three individual shots in symbolism for the colony's wealth, power, and permanence represented by the structure.
