Why people travel
Championship events, resort golf and nationally recognized courses can justify a dedicated golf trip, while tournament weeks create a separate spectator-travel experience.
Best trip pattern
For tournament travel, plan around parking, shuttle and gate information. For a golf getaway, treat tee times, resort access and course availability as the fixed points of the itinerary.
Before you go
Check the official course or event site for public access, tee-time rules, tournament schedules, spectator policies and parking before finalizing the trip.

Venue story
Colonial Country Club was founded in 1936 and has hosted the PGA TOUR event now known as the Charles Schwab Challenge every year since 1946. It also hosted the 1941 U.S. Open, the 1991 U.S. Women’s Open and THE PLAYERS Championship in 1975.
Stay and eat
Fort Worth makes Colonial especially strong for a sports weekend because tournament golf can be combined with the city’s dining, museums and Western attractions on separate blocks of the trip.
Build the weekend
The course is close enough to central Fort Worth to make the tournament one anchor within a broader city itinerary.
