Most of the team members have been picked so I thought I would start the thread for travel ideas and extra round, because we all love more golf.
Travel: There are several hotels in the area depending on how far from the course you would like to stay. In the northern Newport News area we have 4 right next to the interstate and it is a 45 minute drive to the course. I have a good friend in the area that works for one of the hotels and can work on prices for anyone interested. You can stay a little closer in Williamsburg but the cost is will be more seeing how it is in the peak of tourist season. There are several hotels, resorts, bed in breakfast in the area so you have lots to choose from. Richmond is 35 minutes north of the course so you are looking at the same situation as Newport News.
Golf: There are all most as many golf courses in the area to play extra rounds at as there are hotels. In Newport News you have Kiln Creek and anything else is not worth playing or is private. Williamsburg you have the Ford's Colony courses, Stonehouse, Golden Horseshoe courses, Kiskiack, Williamsburg National (don't recommend), Kingsmill if you are staying on the resort, and Colonial Heritage. I would suggest Colonial Heritage as it is a great track and would best prepare you for New Kent IMO. Just north of Williamsburg you have New Kent, Brickshire and Viniterra, all good to play. And once again if you go north to Richmond you have a plethora to choose from.
Attractions: Great Wolf Lodge, Bush Gardens, Water Country in Williamsburg along with Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown. There are some little go cart tracks and batting cages also in Williamsburg, along with the Prime Outlets for the wives. If you look in Newport News you have the the Virginia Living Museum, and if you travel across the HRBT to Norfolk you have the Zoo and the Tides. Tides are the Orioles AAA team.
Food: From Wiliamsburg down you will find any and everything to eat and drink.
Directions: Some GPS will bring you in on through Colonial Downs and it has you come down a dirt road (Kent Field RD)to the course. If you don't want to go down the dirt road stay straight on 155(courthouse road) when you exit the interstate and then make a left on to Kentland Parkway. This will take you in the other side and you don't have to drive down the dirt road.
Im sure there is something I left off but can add latter. I hope this helps.
