The Course:
Rio Verde features two traditional-style courses with a soft desert look. They are more Midwestern in style with a lot more grass than one would imagine in a desert setting. When Tom Lehman led the $6 million course renovation project a few years ago, he achieved his vision of creating two uniquely distinct courses, giving members a never-ending variety of golf experiences. Quail Run has all the elements of a traditional golf course, and White Wing plays more like a links course. Common to both courses are meticulously groomed fairways, greens loaded with personality, and outstanding mountain views.
The Field:
The field consists of 18 teams. Including Seton Hall and host Western Michigan, participating schools include: Akron, Arkansas State, Ball State, Bowling Green, Bradley, Eastern Michigan, Illinois, State, Missouri State, Northern Arizona, Northern Illinois, Ohio, Toledo, ULAR, UMKC, Wichita State and Xavier.
Tee Times:
The golfers will play three rounds over three days. There will be a shotgun start at 1:00 p.m. for Friday's first round. On Saturday and Sunday, the round will begin with a shotgun start at 8:00 a.m.

Complete results will be available after each round's completion at www.SHUpirates.com. Live stats are also available via golfstat.com.
