High Pointe Golf Club in Williamsburg
This course was Tom Doak's first solo design and is still the truest to his art. Doak is known for his minimalist, lay-of-the-land philosophy, and no course better represents it than this one. The front nine features a Scottish links-style design with wide-open fairways and rolling greens. The back nine has very narrow fairways lined with beautiful pine trees. The terrain is hilly and the tee boxes are elevated. Hole #13, a 440-yard, par 4, was voted one of "The Best 18 Holes You Can Play" by "Golf Digest" in 1997. This hole plays from an elevated tee over a field of bracken ferns to a twisting, pitching fairway edged by a spruce forest, then downhill to a wide, two-level green fashioned from the natural contours of the land. "GOLF Magazine" rated this course 74th among the "Top 100 Courses in the U.S." in 1997, and 79th in 1995. The same publication selected it 45th among the "Top 100 Courses You Can Play in the U.S." for 1996.
