Recently renovated by "the Open Doctor" Rees Jones, the Gold Course carries the design philosophy of creator Robert Trent Jones Sr. forward for today's golfer.

Each of the Gold Course's four par 3's presents a visually exciting challenge, and is uniquely memorable in its own right. Even if you've played Gold before, you'll find a few new surprises with the evolution of this timeless classic.

Opened in 1991, Rees Jones drew inspiration from his father Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s iconic Gold Course to create the acclaimed Green Course in Colonial Williamsburg.

Set along the ridge of a natural bluff, Kiskiack offers a day of golf for players of all levels.
