Colonial Country Club is an 18-hole facility located in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas. Founded by Mr. Marvin Leonard in 1936, to bring bentgrass greens to the South, and designed by John Bredemus and Perry Maxwell. Colonial Country Club hosted the 1941 US Open and is host to the longest running annual PGA Tour event at a single site, currently known as the Charles Schwab Challenge.  The golf course has just completed a major renovation led by Hanse Golf Course Design
