Origins

Kingsmill's River Course was designed by Pete Dye and established in 1975 as part of the resort's golf development.

Development

Dye returned to renovate the River Course in 2004. The resort subsequently maintained the River Course as its principal tournament venue while the broader property expanded its resort and club facilities.

Recognition

The River Course hosted decades of PGA Tour and LPGA Tour competition, giving it one of Virginia's more substantial professional tournament histories.

Today

The River Course remains part of Kingsmill's resort golf offering. Resort packages provide access to River and Plantation, while club golf memberships also include those courses and the private Woods Course.
