The Course:
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the Bear Den Mountain Course is imaginatively conceived, dramatically beautiful and extraordinarily challenging. Mr. Jones, creator of more than 125 of the world's best courses, including Monterey and Spanish Bay in Pebble Beach, CA, preserved the integrity of the rolling, wooded terrain of western Little Rock while developing two majestic courses.

With its tight, tree-lined fairways, crystal clear creeks and protected wildlife areas, the 7,326-yard Bear Den Course incorporates the natural features of the site, distinguishing it from the more open qualities of the original Founders Course.

The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and Little Rock, the small field included eight other schools: Arkansas State, Bradley, Central Arkansas, Dayton, Houston Baptist, Illinois State, Oklahoma, Stephen F. Austin and UT-Arlington.

Up Next:
The 2017 fall season is now complete. The Pirates will return to action this spring.
