Colonial Hills Golf Club

Colonial Hills exceeds expectations. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and at ease. This public facility is enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels and clearly reflects an ownership group committed to providing a quality, accessible golf experience.

The course conditions were impressive. Greens were in outstanding shape, fairways were well maintained, bunkers were consistent, and most tee boxes were in good condition. Ongoing investments are evident, including a new driving range and a spacious practice green behind the clubhouse. The new golf carts are comfortable and equipped with GPS that was consistently accurate within two yards.

The course is a par 71 measuring approximately 6,350 yards from the back tees. While not long by modern standards, it presents a strategic challenge. Tree-lined fairways and rolling terrain demand accuracy, while small, firm, fast greens with subtle breaks reward precise approach shots. Water hazards, strategically placed bunkers, and numerous risk-reward opportunities create an engaging layout for players of all abilities. The par 3s are particularly memorable, requiring both length and accuracy.

Several holes stand out. Hole 17 is a reachable par 5 featuring a blind uphill tee shot and a strategically placed fairway bunker that influences second-shot decisions. Hole 5 is a beautiful downhill par 3 over water to a shallow green perched above a stone wall, offering both challenge and visual appeal. Hole 14 is another scenic downhill par 3 over water that demands a precise tee shot. Holes 3 and 12 are exciting drivable par 4s that reward bold play while punishing poor execution.
