Golf Clubs at The Tribute (also known as The Tribute at The Colony) comprises two well-rated and pleasantly testing golf courses - the Old American Golf Club and the Tribute Golf Links. Since 2013 the Old American has been a regular host to the LPGA Tour.

The Tribute Golf Links draws its inspiration from the great links courses of Scotland. Many holes are unashamedly modelled on those found in the "Home of Golf". The par-4 opener, and closing par-4 17th and 18th are direct copies of the corresponding holes found at the Old Course, St Andrews. And that includes a Swilken Bridge at 18 and a railway shed to drive over at 17.

Laid out in two nine-hole loops, this open links-style layout also includes some of the best known holes from Carnoustie, Machrihanish, Moray, Muirfield, Nairn, Prestwick, Royal Dornoch, Royal Troon, Turnberry and Western Gailes.

If you know your Scottish courses (and even if you don't), this layout has much to enjoy, with many attractive features woven into its "Scottish" fabric. Plenty of golfing challenge and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course. One to include on your play list if you are in the area.

Did you know?

Both of the Golf Clubs at The Tribute, the Old American GC and the Tribute Golf Links, were designed by golf course architect Tripp Davis. Leading PGA Tour professional and 1997 Open Championship winner Justin Leonard was also involved in the design of the Old American.

The Tribute is a subdivision of the city of The Colony in Denton County, Texas. The city takes its name from the original Peters Colony, which comprised land grants in the mid-1800s to American and English settlers, led by a certain William Smalling Peters.

Tournaments

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).

Who's Who

Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.

Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
