The Course – Colonial Country Club
Colonial Country Club was founded in 1936 by Marvin Leonard, a self-taught golfer whose interests lie far beyond the fairway. Leonard studied every aspect of the sport, including course architecture — right down to the blades of grass and grains of sand used.
Colonial has since set a record in championship golf as the only club to host a Men's U.S. Open (1941), a Women's U.S. Open (1991), and THE PLAYERS Championship (1975). Alongside these prestigious tournaments, Colonial has hosted the longest-running tournament on the PGA Tour. Every May since 1946, the world's greatest golfers travel to Fort Worth to compete in the Colonial National Invitational, known today as the Charles Schwab Challenge.
The course was the site of the men's Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational for the fourth time in the last five seasons in October.
In 2021 the Colonial membership approved a Golf Course Renovation Master Plan. The course renovation was led by world renowned golf course architect, Gil Hanse. This renovation began in June 2023 and included all new grass, irrigation, drainage, hydronic's green cooling system, as well as the proposed Hanse architectural improvements.
