The Organization
The Club was originally founded in 1995 and has been fully private since 2006. The golf course, with its challenging twenty-seven-hole layout and superb practice facilities, was originally designed by Arthur Hills. Its natural beauty and sprawling hills provided the perfect inspiration for 27 holes of world championship-caliber golf. In 2004, the owner hired world-renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. to take the course to the next level. Golf Digest nominated Colonial Springs for “Best Renovation” in 2007.
Colonial Springs enjoys an active dining program and is dedicated to exceeding members' and guest’s expectations. Food and Beverage revenues exceed $1.2m with member dining contributing to 70% of revenues. The main dining room extends into an outdoor dining patio which has panoramic views of all three nines from the Lake Course Pines and the Valley which is very picturesque and beautiful.
