PARA CEO Brian C. Davis said the staff at Ol ’Colony has worked hard to create a great experience for all levels of golfers, with a course and amenities that are second-to-none.

"Of course, none of this would be possible without the partnership between PARA, Tuscaloosa County, and the cities of Tuscaloosa and Northport which have stepped up with both in-kind and monetary support," Davis said. "If anyone is looking to play a great golf course, I would like to invite you to come and play a round or two at Ol’ Colony.”

What's more, Ol’ Colony Golf Complex has enjoyed recent nationwide exposure for hosting the 2022 and upcoming 2023 EPSON Tour, known locally as the Tuscaloosa Toyota Classic. The event is an official qualifier of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA).
