“2010 Golfweek’s Best Municipal Courses”

"Top 10 Course in Alabama"
and
"Best Municipal Course in Alabama"
by Golf Digest 2009
Located directly south of Sokol Park, Ol’ Colony has emerged as one of the area’s most challenging and visually appealing golf courses. The University of Alabama made Ol’ Colony its home course and constructed a training facility on the grounds in 2005. The opening of a club house with a pro shop and diner completed the golf complex in 2007.
This Jerry Pate designed course is considered to be one of the best public golf courses in the country. In 2008, Golf Digest ranked Ol’ Colony as one of the Top 100 "Best Places You Can Play" and recently a "Top 10 in Alabama Course." The Birmingham News gave its blessings to Ol’ Colony with 4.5 out of a possible 5 star rating and compliments such as "awesome course" and "great staff."
Ol’ Colony also operates the Tuscaloosa Chapter of The First Tee program, a youth golf program designed to promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf. The First Tee of Tuscaloosa is a chapter of The First Tee, an international nonprofit organization with more than 2.2 million participants. The hands-on approach to golf teaches the fundamentals of the game while simultaneously building life skills. More than 400 children between the ages of six and 18 currently participate in The First Tee of Tuscaloosa program, where they are taught nine core values: courtesy, judgment, perseverance, responsibility, confidence, respect, sportsmanship, integrity and honesty. This program continues to show steady growth with over 400 youth participating this year.
Established in 2007, the Brion Hardin First Tee Teaching Facility is equipped with a Trackman Launch Monitor, VUE 1 Software and Explaner Plane System, an indoor putting area and two hitting bays for fittings and lessons. Individual and corporate rates/lesson packages are available. This facility was completely financed by donations from our local community and business leaders.
