Thinking About Living in Colonial Heritage Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Colonial Heritage Club and the surrounding Williamsburg / James City County golf market.
Colonial Heritage is a gated 55+ active-adult community in Williamsburg built around an 18-hole Arthur Hills golf course. Of the age-restricted golf communities researched across Virginia's Williamsburg/New Kent seam, this is the most cleanly documented example of a genuinely optional golf-membership model: the club's own site states plainly that golf membership is available to homeowners but not required, with modest, tiered initiation fees ($0-$2,500) and dues ($0-$5,000/year) relative to Williamsburg's other private and semi-private clubs -- a meaningfully lower buy-in than Ford's Colony, Two Rivers, or Kingsmill, consistent with a community built to make golf accessible to residents rather than to gatekeep it.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole, par-72, 6,889-yard course was designed by Arthur Hills. Membership tiers (Full Golf, Family, Single) all include unlimited driving-range use and range balls, eligibility for men's and women's golf-association events, charging privileges, and walking privileges.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Golf memberships are available to Colonial Heritage homeowners but are confirmed not required to use the broader club/community facilities -- residents can enjoy the community's fitness center, pools, tennis, and bocce without purchasing a golf membership. This is a meaningfully different, more accessible access model than the mandatory membership at nearby Governor's Land at Two Rivers.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Precise current initiation fee and dues for each specific membership tier (Full Golf vs. Family vs. Single) rather than the aggregate $0-$2,500/$0-$5,000 ranges found this session.
- Whether any waitlist or capacity cap exists for golf membership as the community has become fully built out.
Notable
- Colonial Heritage's reported golf initiation fees ($0-$2,500) and dues ($0-$5,000/yr) are notably lower than Ford's Colony, Two Rivers, or Kingsmill's golf/resort membership costs, consistent with a community-accessible rather than prestige-gatekeeping golf model.
