Ol' Colony Golf Complex is a municipal public golf course in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The course opened in December 2000 on 597 acres that was once a farm plantation for a mental institution named Boy's Colony. Ol' Colony was designed by professional golfer Jerry Pate, who played golf for The University of Alabama.

The 18-hole course has rolling hills and is heavily wooded with tall pines and soaring oaks. It’s can test even the most advanced golfer with large bunkers, mature trees, and water hazards that will challenge every shot, including a 25-acre lake. Another 18-holes, already designed by Pate, will start to be developed in the coming years.

The University of Alabama made Ol’ Colony its home course and constructed a training facility, The Jerry Pate Center, on the grounds in 2005.[1]

The course is considered to be one of the best public golf courses in the country. In 2008, Golf Digest ranked Ol’ Colony as one of the Top 100 "Best Places You Can Play" and recently a "Top 10 in Alabama Course."[2]

Ol’ Colony also operates the Tuscaloosa Chapter of The First Tee program, a youth golf program designed to promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf.[3]
