The Course:
Named for the ancestral home of the Colgate family, Seven Oaks Golf Club is nestled on the Colgate University Campus at the upper end of the Chenango Valley, in Hamilton, New York. In 1934, a young architect by the name of Robert Trent Jones was brought to Hamilton to begin work on designing the course as one of his first projects. Unfortunately, due to the great depression and WWII, the course and his plans were continuously postponed.

Jones was called back many times throughout the following years to redesign the course before a final version was accepted and it was not until 1956 that ground was broken on the first nine holes, officially opening on July 4th, 1958. Construction for the remainder of the course soon began and on September 4th, 1965 the last nine holes were opened for play.

Seven Oaks is characteristic of all Jones' courses, which include strategic deployment of water, along with extensive tee areas and large, expansive greens.

The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host Colgate, the field included 11 other schools: Bucknell, Cornell, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Rhode Island, Rider, St. Bonaventure, St. John's, Villanova and Yale.

Up Next:
Seton Hall will return to the link for three round of golf at the Hartford Hawks Invitational at Bull's Bridge Golf Club, Sept. 20-21.
