The Course
Boulder Creek Golf Club features three unique 9-hole layouts, nicknamed Desert Hawk, Coyote Run, and El Dorado Valley. At the Clash at Boulder Creek, Desert Hawk is played as the front nine while Coyote Run is played as the back nine. Desert Hawk utilizes stunning water features on the opening and closing holes, and plays as a combination between an oasis and the desert. Hole 1 features a long pond that golfers must carry with their tee shot, while hole 9 has water in range to the right of the tee shot and the left of the approach shot. Coyote Run provides a chance for unique scoring opportunities due to the subtle elevation changes and many arroyos meandering throughout the course. The course features wide and lush fairways for drives, but tricky approach shots with the irons. Hole 8 features a beautiful lake nestled in front of the par 3 green, forcing golfers to not only carry the lake, but the wide bunker that is situated between the water and the putting surface.
The Field
20 teams will compete at Boulder Creek Golf Club in Boulder City, Nevada. Alongside NDSU and hosts Northern Arizona, the field will include UNLV, Weber State, New Mexico State, CSU Bakersfield, South Dakota State, San Francisco, Kansas, Wofford, Houston, Drake, UTEP, Southern Utah, Boise State, California Baptist, Utah Tech, Tarleton State, Utah Valley and Fresno State.
Bison Competing
The Bison will take five golfers down to Nevada for the tournament. The lineup will include Hannah Dunk, Norah Roberts, Avery Bartels, Belle Kongshaug and Jeri Lafleche.

Count 'Em

After coming in a tie for seventh at the NDSU Fall Invitational, Dunk earned an eighth-place finish at the Yellowstone Intercollegiate, an 11th place finish at the Diane Thomason Invitational and a 13th place finish at the MSU/Payne Stewart Memorial. She's helped the Bison to four consecutive top 5 finishes to open the schedule for the second time in the past three seasons.
