About the Course: You'll be challenged on two 18-hole golf courses designed by Pete Dye. You'll lift your tennis game on PlexiPave® hard courts—the same surfaces used at professional tournaments such as the Australian Open. You'll dine in the formal elegance of our Candlelight Room, where entrées are carved tableside, complemented by selections from our award winning wine list. And you'll kick back with your family at our pool pavilion for a day of waterslides, cannonballs and poolside snacks. It's a social club unlike any other in Des Moines. Or anywhere.

History at the Event: For the 44th time, the Illinois State men's golf team will compete at the MVC Championship, with the Redbirds holding six tournament wins, more than any other school currently in the Conference. Two seasons ago, the Redbirds' tournament score of 836 was the second-lowest in the history of the tournament, including twice carding the lowest 18 hole score on a par-71 course. That season Felix van Dijk's first-round 65 was tied for the second-lowest single-round score in MVC Championship history, while his tournament score of 204 saw him as the runner-up and the fourth-lowest tournament score in Championship history.
