The Course:
Banyan Creek is a private golf club that offers a quiet and serene golf experience for our members. The unique design of the course features breathtaking views of nature and wildlife, with fairways lined with oaks and pines.

The all new Banyan Creek Course is located in the gated community of Martin Downs in Palm City. The course was formerly known as the Crane Creek Course, which was home to multiple PGA tournaments before it closed over a decade ago.

Banyan Creek has been redesigned and enhanced to be on par with local trends. The course offers multiple sets of tees for all skill levels, including a driving range, practice facility, and putting green. Banyan Creek is surrounded by nature, not homes, which is why this course is a unique treasure for our golf community.

The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and UNC-Greensboro, the field included nine other schools: Bucknell, Holy Cross, James Madison, Lehigh, Old Dominion, Purdue Fort Wayne, Samford, South Dakota and BIG EAST foe Villanova.

Up Next:
Seton Hall will return to action next weekend when it begins three rounds of play at the Loyola Invitational in Goodyear, Ariz., Feb. 22-24.
