Golf course review only. I had a disappointing visit to Kingsmill Resort yesterday, where we played both the Plantation and River courses. Having grown up a member at Kingsmill Golf Club, I was amazed at how terrible the conditions were. The fairways and tees hadn't been cut in what seems like two weeks, and rough on the Plantation course was so deep you could lose your ball even if you knew where you hit it. Several groups gave up and returned to the clubhouse rather than play. The river course had grass clumps everywhere. The greens were slow and had pitch marks everywhere. I play a lot of golf and there are plenty of public courses in the area that have much better conditions. I was very disappointed at Kingsmill.
