The eyes of the college golf world remain on Scottsdale, Arizona, as the NCAA Men’s Division I Championship begins this week at Grayhawk Golf Club’s Raptor course.
The men play May 28-June 2.
Designed by prolific course architect Tom Fazio, Grayhawk’s Raptor is ranked No. 12 on the 2021 Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play list for public-access courses in Arizona, and the facility’s Talon Course is No. 11.
Built across rolling desert, the Raptor features raised greens with frequently steep runoffs into deep bunkers or what will be heavy rough for the championship. Elite college players can handle the lengths the course will be set up for each championship, but they better pay attention to hitting the fairways at Grayhawk. The men will play Grayhawk at 7,289 yards with a par of 70.
