This is a beautiful, well manicured golf course with spectacular views that we had the pleasure of playing while in town from Ohio. The staff was extremely polite and professional, and if we return in the future, we'll definitely be making a reservation to play here again. Highly recommend Ol' Colony!!

Too many negatives to list. Course is in bad shape from tee box to green. Dry as a bone, drill is required to get a tee in the ground on some boxes. Same your time and money, take a short drive to Birmingham for golf and you’ll thank me later

Called in and asked them what time the driving range was opening and was told 10 am. I showed up at 10 am and had to wait until 10:45 for them to open it up finally.
