Colony at the Grand
Fairhope, Alabama

Enjoy golf, tennis and fishing, as well as wine tastings

and shopping excursions, all in one historic destination.

Description 

The Colony at the Grand occupies 175 inviting acres within the grounds of the Grand Hotel on Mobile Bay in coastal Alabama. The Colony residences are a place where the tradition of the Grand Hotel amenities reach new heights.

History walks the halls of this storied hotel, originally established in 1847. Today's resort and spa is lavishly modern, with 36 holes of championship golf and four-diamond accommodations, plus superior amenities.

The Dogwood Course is a newly renovated, 7,620-yard jewel that winds through dogwoods, magnolias and towering oaks. The par-72 Azalea Course is known for its signature 14th hole, with a large island green surrounded by a four-acre lake.

Colony at the Grand features 36 holes of Robert Trent Jones golf.

The Grand offers fine dining, a full-service spa, a lavishly landscaped pool, tennis courts and a tennis pro shop; sandy beach and boardwalk, plus a yacht basin.

The pools at The Colony add even more privacy and enjoyment for residents. Built in the resort's historic style, the pool houses and terraces recall Julep Point and overlook the lake and proposed amphitheater.

Overlooking the lake, the proposed amphitheater is the setting for cultural events. Anchoring The Colony's landscape and oriented toward sunset, the venue promises to be a memorable site.

About the Area
The Eastern Shore and Fairhope have long been know as a haven for artists and writers, attracting energetic, eclectic and engaging personalities from around the south and beyond. With a diverse mix of chic boutiques and vibrant restaurants there’s no end to what you will discover throughout the region.

The waters and beaches of the Gulf are forty minutes away, by boat or by land. For nature trails, birding or rowing, one need never leave the property.

Downtown Fairhope offers shopping, walking and more.

The charming village of Fairhope, Alabama lies on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay looking like the movie set of an American small town. Blossoms burst from planters and flower boxes along every block of the tree-shaded downtown.

Wrought-iron balconies lend a bit of New Orleans flavor—appropriate for a community that celebrates Mardi Gras with a half dozen parades spread over more than two weeks.

Couples could spend days contentedly browsing the boutiques, art galleries, antiques shops, parks, and, most deliciously, the restaurants. Day’s end brings a beautiful bonus: sunset over the bay.
