About the Course
The tournament will be played at TalonsCove Golf Club in Saratoga Springs. TalonsCove is a links layout found on the northwest coast of Utah Lake. Gene Bates is famous for designing courses with long par 3s and TalonsCove is no exception (220, 225, 255), but the greens are large enough to handle long approaches. The setting is unique with the beautiful light blue Utah Lake hugging the property and the towering Mount Timpanogos in the distance. 


Team UVU
Competing for UVU this week will be Abbey Porter, Caylyn Ponich, Pati Uluave, Chloe Jang, and Millie Terrion.
