Historic course over 100 yrs. old, and w/o Glen Garden there might not have been a Colonial CC. Course is where Ben Hogan & Byron Nelson got their start in golf (caddying & playing). Course is to be sold & closed before end of 2014, so some history is closing. Easy layout, but greens are small but putt well. Hole #8 is long, tough par 4 w/water in play. #10 is tricky w/ position on drive & uphill 2nd to small green. #'s 14 & 15 are good par 3's w/ 14@ 240 yd. down a hill & 15 uphill @ 200 yds. Hole #17 is "signature" par 3 down to tree surrounded green - 160 yds. Fun course - tough neighborhood to pass through to course.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again
