Frequently Asked Questions
Is on-site golf required for stay & play?
Stay & play does not require golf to be on-site. In Virginia, nearby courses within a short drive, like those around Williamsburg, qualify as stay & play options.
How many nights make sense for a stay & play base?
Three to five nights usually balance enough rounds of golf with time to enjoy resort amenities without the hassle of moving accommodations.
Should I book a package or DIY lodging plus tee times?
Packages often offer better value and simplified booking, especially when paired with resorts near courses like Kingsmill Resort and Williamsburg National Golf Club.
When does moving hotels still make sense?
Moving hotels may be worthwhile if you want to experience different regions or courses farther apart, but Virginia’s golf resorts cluster well for one-base stays.
How far is “nearby” for morning tee times?
Nearby typically means less than 15 minutes’ drive, allowing early tee times without long commutes. Most Williamsburg-area courses meet this criterion.
