Ford's Colony Country Club — Blackheath Course

$$

One of three Dan Maples-designed courses at the 54-hole Ford''s Colony resort. Blackheath is the most challenging of the trio — narrow, wooded fairways with strategic water hazards. A solid mid-tier country club experience.

Ford's Colony Country Club — Blue Heron Course

$$

Sister course to Blackheath at the 54-hole Ford''s Colony resort. Blue Heron is more open and forgiving, with sweeping water and marsh views — a good complement to the more demanding Blackheath layout.

The third 18 at Ford''s Colony''s 54-hole facility. Marsh Hawk threads through Tidewater wetlands with dramatic carries and well-protected greens. Pairs naturally with Blackheath or Blue Heron for a 36-hole day on property.
