Colonial Beauty

Colonial's Clubhouse with 35,000 square feet of "Southern Comfort" is surrounded by 36 holes of golfing pleasure.  The North Course, a Par 71, is lined with both pine and hardwood trees, set in beautiful rolling terrain and with 3 large lakes, which effect 6 of the 18 holes, is a real pleasure to play.

"The Southern Amateur Golf Championship, newly ranked among the world's top ten golf tournaments, will be played on the storied Colonial Country Club South Course in Cordova, TN, just outside Memphis, July 15-18,2009. Directors of the Southern Golf Association, which runs the venerable tournament, awarded the 2009 event to Colonial after the club's enthusiastic bid. The 2009 event will be the 103rd playing of the tournament which will be held this year at the Lake Nona Club in Orlando, FL.

The central figure in returning the tournament to Colonial for the second time was Memphis businessman Larry Walker, who is on the boards of directors for both Colonial and the SGA. Once restricted to golfers from 14 traditional southern states, the Southern Am now regularly attracts fields littered with the top amateurs both nationally and internationally.

Colonial was the site of the PGA Tour's Danny Thomas-St. Jude Classic from its inception through 1988, after which the event moved to Southwind TPC."
