Karsten Creek To Host 2011 NCAA Men's Golf Championship
August 16, 2006 | Cowboy Golf
Opened in 1994, the Tom Fazio layout has played host to four men's collegiate tournaments. The 1996 Karsten Creek Collegiate was the course's inaugural event and preceded the 2001 NCAA Men's Division I Central Regional. In 2002, Karsten Creek held the Ping/Golfweek Preview in preparation for the 2003 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships. On the women's side, Karsten Creek played host to the 2001 Big 12 Invitational.
A pair of junior events are on the horizon as well for the par-72, 7,408-yard layout as it will host the American Junior Golf Association-sponsored Ping Invitational on Oct. 6-9 as well as the 2007 AJGA Rolex Tournament of Champions.
Next year's NCAA Championships will take place at Golden Horseshoe Golf Club in Williamsburg, Va., while Purdue's Kampen Course in West Lafayette, Ind., will be the 2008 host site. The 2009 tournament is slated for Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio and The Honors Course near Chattanooga, Tenn. was chosen for the 2010 event.
