About Colony West Golf Club - Championship Course

Colony West Golf Club's Championship Course is an 18-hole public layout in Tamarac, Florida. Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge designed the course, which opened in 1971. Colony West's own history says its original configuration was a 7,553-yard par 72 built for the Jackie Gleason Classic.

After feedback about its difficulty, dozens of bunkers were removed; later changes associated with construction of the clubhouse reversed the nines and altered the course dimensions. The current Championship Course is listed by the club at 7,258 yards and par 71. It is distinct from Colony West's Glades Course, a shorter par-64 executive layout on the opposite side of Pine Island Road.

The course is an 18-hole golf course. It plays to par 71, 7,258 yards. Designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert Von Hagge, the course originally opened in 1971. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Clubhouse, Restaurant.

Origins

The Championship Course was created by Bruce Devlin and Robert von Hagge and opened in 1971 in an exceptionally demanding 7,553-yard, par-72 configuration.

Development

The club records that 52 of the original 137 bunkers were removed after the early tournament era. When the clubhouse was constructed in 1981, the nines were reversed and the course was shortened. Subsequent work has produced today's 7,258-yard, par-71 configuration.

Today

Colony West operates the Championship Course alongside the separate Glades executive course, with both available to public golfers.
