The course offers a good mix of technical shots and open air throws. Great baskets and outstanding amenities on the property create a great complex for golf. The discatcher baskets are great and because of its proximity to the golf course, golfers are treated to restrooms, alcohol sales and food options.

Some of the uber technical par fours require shots that are not typical golf shots. This course is cut by contractors and in the summer, there is little that can be done to deal with the tall grass.

Ol Colony often gets a unfair shake in comparison to the other courses in town, but there are a number of great and challenging holes on the property and you cannot beat the amenities for new golfers and recreational players.

Course is heavily redesigned, so I think it's worth a brand new review.

The new layout fixes the flow issues and confusing backtracks that plagued this track, and adds a lot more intrigue to the old boring holes.

Two pin placements add a lot of variety. Tight tunnel shots, demanding right-to-left and left-to-right lines, and plenty of length.

The short pins are mostly gettable par 3s but there are a lot of lines required, and two legitimate par 4s add some length.

In long, this course is now a beast. Seven par 4s and two legitimate par 5s will absolutely test your game.

In terms of maintenance, the course is being mowed much more regularly. No more losing discs in the middle of the fairway.

Baskets are great -- fairly new DISCatchers that do what they promise.

Carpet tee pads are mostly flat and well-kept.

OB on the course is cleverly used and well-marked. Plenty of signage to explain each hole and to direct you to the next tee if not obvious.

Very little shade on much of the course.

A distinct lack of creature comforts: No seating, very few trash receptacles, no practice basket.

No concrete tee pads, although the carpet pads available are in good shape and offer plenty of grip.

The only restroom available is in the ball golf clubhouse, which is quite a distance from the majority of the DG course.

Maintenance can be an issue. The grass in the field most of the course plays through grows FAST, and right now there are a lot of downed trees / limbs / junk from a project on the golf course.

Woodsy areas of the course are RIDDLED with mosquitos. Make sure to bring plenty of bug spray and sunscreen.

Thanks to some tireless work from Brian Thompson, the layout of this course is now on par with anything else on offer in Tuscaloosa.

Nice Mix of woods and open spaces, and when the grass is cut it's a fun course to walk. Highly visible baskets. The wooded Par 3's are a lot of fun and the local golfers are very friendly. Good course for beginners because it is (relatively) hard to lose a disc on most holes. The short layout is better in my opinion.

When the grass is long it becomes a lot more difficult to find discs and enjoy the walk. Beginners will not like hole 9, which is more technical and long, but I think the consensus is that advanced golfers appreciate the challenge. Not a lot of shade on many holes - bring water! Tee boxes are carpet but they aren't bad. Poison Ivy, which is typical for this area and this sport. Just keep an eye out.

Fun place to play and a great opportunity to iron out kinks on the long, wide open holes. The local club has worked hard to keep the place playable and it's definitely noticeable. About 5 years ago the course was in disarray and unplayable - now it's a nice spot.
