COURSE INFORMATION
The Dye Course at the Clubs of Stonebridge Ranch was designed by legendary architect Pete Dye with assistance from his son and opened in 1988. The par-72 layout measures more than 7,000 yards and features Dye's signature design elements, including railroad ties, island tees and strategic risk-reward holes.

The course includes picturesque views, nearly 40 acres of lakes and resurfaced G-12 Championship Bermuda greens. Over the years, the course has hosted PGA qualifying schools, major amateur events and NCAA Championships.

Dye once described the course's closing stretch by saying it features four of the hardest finishing holes he ever designed.

LAST TIME OUT
Utah Valley most recently competed at the Arkansas State Spring Invitational in Jonesboro, Arkansas, where the Wolverines placed ninth in the 11-team field with a three-round total of 31-over-par 895. Paxton Maxwell led UVU with a top-20 finish, tying for 16th at 2-over-par 218, while Ty Brady tied for 19th at 4-over-par 220.
