About Tuscon Country Club
When course architect William Bell first singled out this magnificent property - this rich lowland that the Navajo and Yavapi once farmed, and magically transformed it into a golf course like no other. The 18-hole course (7000+ yards) is tree-lined, in a Midwestern style of design. It is the best walking course in Tucson, with nature's abundant creatures surviving and thriving in this area. Tucson Country Club provides a tremendous golf experience for all levels of golfers. Kids and beginning players can comfortably develop their games. In contrast, the more accomplished players can certainly be challenged by the course's length, bunkering, and subtle breaks on the greens (via TusconCountryClub.com).
Tournament Field
The 14-team field will include host Arizona, Central Arkansas, Abilene Christian, Long Beach State, Sacramento State, UTEP, Wyoming, George Washington, Nevada, New Mexico, Denver, New Mexico State, Utah State, and Utah Valley.
