THE COURSE:
The Arthur Hills Course at Palmetto Hall opened in 1991 to rave reviews and was almost instantly named to Golf Digest's list as one of America's Top 10 New Courses. In 2008-09, the magazine awarded the course 4-stars as one of "Best Places to Play." The Arthur Hills course plays 6,918 yards from the back tees with a course rating of 73.8 and a slope of 139. At 6,257 yards (70.6/128), the White Tees will prove to be a formidable foe for most golfers, while ladies will find the course enjoyable from the Red Tees (5,006/70.3/119).

Hills' signature style is fully on display here with undulated fairways with lots of mounding wind through heavily wooded forests of moss-draped oaks and towering pines, that frame the fairways of many holes. Lush fairways and crystalline lakes give way to large greens, with bunkers butted up against the sides, providing golfers with several challenges. Fortunately, most of the hazards are lateral and sit off to the sides of the fairways and only a handful of holes require an aerial approach on to the green.

THE FIELD:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Francis Marion, the field featured 14 other teams including: Augusta, Charleston Southern, Dayton, Furman, Gardner-Webb, High Point, Kennesaw State, Presbyterian, Radford, Temple, USC Aiken, UT Chattanooga, Winthrop, Wofford.

UP NEXT:
Seton Hall will return to action in two weeks with three rounds of golf at the Ross Collegiate Classic in Pinehurst, N.C.
