Ford's Colony: Golf, Amenities, and Community Life

Ford's Colony is one of the larger established communities in the Williamsburg area, and it comes up constantly with buyers who want golf and amenities close to home. Here is what defines it.

The Setting

Ford's Colony sits in James City County, northwest of Colonial Williamsburg, spread across rolling, wooded land. It is a gated community, and its size means a network of quiet internal roads, ponds, and green space threaded between the neighborhoods.

Golf and the Country Club

Golf is at the heart of Ford's Colony. The community is home to 54 holes across three courses, along with the Country Club of Ford's Colony, which anchors much of the social calendar. Dining, events, and club activities run through the year. Membership tiers vary, so confirm the details for any home you consider.

Amenities Beyond Golf

Residents have access to swimming pools, tennis and pickleball, a fitness center, and miles of trails and paths that wind through the community. Ponds and preserved natural areas give much of Ford's Colony a green, open feel. Interest-based clubs and community events are a big part of daily life here.

The Homes

Ford's Colony spans a wide range... from lower-maintenance patio homes and townhomes to larger custom single-family houses, some fronting the golf courses. Because the community was built out over many years, styles and price points vary widely from one neighborhood to the next. That range is part of why it appeals to so many different buyers.

Costs to Confirm

Like most amenity-rich communities, Ford's Colony has homeowners association dues, and golf or club memberships may be separate. Those numbers shape your monthly picture, so it is worth getting them in writing early.
