Furman University Golf Club
Furman University Golf Club is a challenging, par-72 golf course that is widely recognized as not only the #1 public course in Greenville, but the top public course in the upstate. It underwent major renovations in 2008, which included reconstruction of all 18 greens under USGA specifications to Champion Ultra-Dwarf Bermudagrass. The renovations also included new practice facilities for the Furman golf teams, as well as enhanced public practice facilities, irrigation upgrades, clubhouse enhancements, and new tees to accommodate golfers of all skill sets. The course stretches to over 7,000 yards from the back tees and plays longer on the back nine than it does the front.
Format and Schedule
The tournament will be a 54-hole competition, starting with Saturday's 36-hole shotgun start. The final 18 holes will be played on Sunday with standard tee times. For the tournament, the course will play as a par-71 at a total yardage of 7,005.
