The Colony at the Grand is surrounded by a 36-hole championship Golf Club designed with natural sand areas, Scottish bulkhead walls and fairways that weave around spring-fed lakes and 200-year-old live oak trees.

The Dogwood Course is a newly renovated, 7,620 yard, 18-hole, 72-par course that winds through dogwoods, magnolias and towering oaks.

The 72-par Azalea Course ranges from 5,200 to 7,500 yards and includes the signature 14th hole with a 10,000 square-foot island green surrounded by a four-acre lake.

Each Colony at the Grand residence includes opportunities for membership in the Golf Club, where you're even more likely to make new friends than you are to make par.

And, once accepted, all golf members are also entitled to unlimited use of golf, tennis, outdoor and indoor heated swimming pools and the new fitness center at The Grand Hotel.

The Golf Club is a resort member of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. Magnolia Grove, in nearby Mobile offers an additional 54 holes of championship Robert Trent Jones golf.
