The Concession Golf Club will host the 2013 Big Ten Match Play Championship Feb. 8-9.
Men’s golf teams from all 12 Big Ten universities will compete in the two-day tournament. Northwestern won the tournament last year and will look to defend its title on the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course.
“We are very honored once again to host the Big Ten Match Play Championships here at The Concession Golf Club and we are looking forward to welcoming the nation’s top collegiate teams and golfers,” says Bruce Cassidy, Jr., the club’s General Manager. “Here at The Concession we take great pride in presenting tournament-ready playing conditions for our members every day. We encourage area residents and golf fans to come out to the club to watch these talented golfers and to cheer for their alma mater.”
The Concession Golf Club also has been selected to host the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships, marking the first time in the competition’s history that the same course will serve as the site for both tournaments in consecutive weeks.
