Hawk’s Landing Golf Club
By George Schissler This course immediately brought me back to my sophomore year in high school when I had to stand before the entire class and recite this quote from the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Coleridge Keats: “Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink”. From the back tees Hawk’s Landing […]
The Rookery at Marco

Renditions
By Bob Enzel My golfing buddy Joe called and asked if I wanted to play a course called Renditions? I said, sure. Then Joe said “have you ever heard of it?” No, I responded. He then suggested I go on-line and check it out, which I did… So, here’s the ‘skinny’. If you’ve ever dreamed […]
Triple Trouble In Williamsburg
By Bob Enzel The FORD’S COLONY COUNTRY CLUB sports three lovely courses mentioned by Golf Digest as “Places to Play” in Virginia. This four and a half star rated golf club boasts it to be the “highest rating in Virginia.” I can’t agree or contest this quote but I can vouch for 54 beautifully laid […]
The Osprey’s Golf Club
