Course Description

Pete Dye designed The River Course to challenge the accuracy and consistency of a Touring PGA Professional and still be enjoyable for the average golfer. You can see how successful he was by watching the Michelob Championship at Kingsmill on national television or by taking on the 6,853 yard, par 71 shotmaker's test yourself. The terrain is pure Virginia - rolling hills, elevated greens, thick woods and water everywhere. To score well, you must get the ball in the air and land it with precision, especially on the James River where "Curtis' Strange Navy" drops anchor during the annual PGA Tour event.

Signature Hole

Home to the Michelob Championship at Kingsmill on the PGA tour, television viewers are familiar with the course's signature 17th hole. Perched on the banks of the James River, the 177-yard, par-3 hole offers a panoramic view of the historic waterway and its tree lined shores.
