Escalante Golf, a boutique owner and operator of unique golf assets, is excited to announce that it successfully acquired the AAA Four Diamond Kingsmill Resort from Xanterra Kingsmill, LLC. Located in historic Williamsburg, Virginia, Kingsmill Resort adds another important east coast destination to the company’s expanding family of high-end clubs.
“Kingsmill Resort is one of the most iconic resorts on the east coast, started more than 45 years ago by the Anheuser-Busch Company. It has hosted some of the best-known names in golf, including the PGA Tour’s Michelob Championship from 1981 to 2002 and now the LPGA’s Kingsmill Championship. It is a vibrant community with more than 2,400 home sites and has hosted presidents and dignitaries since it opened almost a half century ago. It is truly a special place with a revered history,” said David McDonald, President of Escalante Golf, Inc.
Kingsmill Resort is located on 2,900 protected acres along the James River. It boasts three championship golf courses: the River Course designed by Pete Dye, the Plantation Course designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, and the member-only Woods Course designed by Curtis Strange and Tom Clark. The family-friendly resort features one-, two- and three-bedroom condominium accommodations. Amenities include 15 tennis courts, four on-site restaurants, a three-pool and lazy river pool complex, a fully-equipped fitness center and a newly redesigned spa with eight therapy rooms and hair and nail salon. Additionally, Kingsmill houses a 16,000 square-foot IACC-certified conference center and a full-service marina.
“Kingsmill Resort is ideally located just a few hours drive from some of the largest markets along the eastern seaboard. It is the perfect place to hold a company meeting, to spend a weekend with family and friends playing golf and relaxing, or to make your permanent home. Kingsmill has all the components of a first-class resort beginning with a storied history, terrific golf, complete fitness center and spa, and a picturesque setting on the James River,” said McDonald.
