Colonial Country Club
Cordova, Tennessee
901.382.0084

Colonial's long standing image of a beautiful and difficult course (76.8 rating from the tips) is well deserved. From the club house to the fairways, deep-rooted tradition is evident. The back nine to the South course plays as hard as we've seen and requires driver distance to shoot reasonable scores. The greens are known for immaculate conditioning and running fast. The fairways allow for some miss and welcomes golfers of all handicaps as long as the right tees are played. Large bunkers and slanting hills add to the flavor and water with the lake and creeks is in play on several holes. All said, Colonial is and will likely always remain a top course for both conditioning and challenging play. Members should be proud of the tradition and quality of their home course.

Back 60% slopes to the front and left.

265yd to carry right bunker from Blue tees, so hugging it plays well with fairways slant left.
