Kilmarlic Golf Club Receives Rave Reviews at ODU/OBX Collegiate Invitational

OUTER BANKS, N.C. (October 31, 2011) - Two-time national champion Georgia head coach Chris Haack has taken his Bulldogs to play some of the nation's most storied courses and traveled to various exotic locales in his 16 years leading the SEC stalwart.

"Kilmarlic Golf Club is a tremendous tournament course with a little bit of everything," Haack said. "It gets really exciting and rather stressful for a coach on the back nine with three par-5s, a drivable par-4 and trouble left and right on most every hole. Anything could happen with birdies and bogeys lurking on every swing."

Long-time Old Dominion head coach Murray Rudisill, who has led the Monarchs golf program for 36 years, echoed those sentiments.

Rudisill relayed that Kilmarlic - a Tom Steele design that played host to the prestigious North Carolina Open in 2004 and 2009 - proved the perfect venue for the country's top collegiate players for the second straight year. "It has just tremendous par-5s and par-3s," Rudisill said. "That's the beauty of the course - great risk-reward. They've had two North Carolina Opens (at Kilmarlic) so it challenges the college guys. It's not a seaside, links-type of course. It's more of a traditional course. The facilities are beautiful and it's always in pristine condition."
