Amateur Match Play Championship

Seeding Round Story

All players traveling to University Park Country Club  are guaranteed an 18-hole seeding round and at least one round of match play. After the 18-hole seeding round, the field of 96 will be divided into a Championship flight of 32 players and four additional flights of 16 players. Ultimately, there will be a Match Play Champion (from the flight of 32) and four separate flight winners.

At University Park Country Club, golfers will enjoy the 27 holes of championship golf designed by Ron Garl. Each 18-hole combination boasts its own distinct set of challenges and no two rounds are ever the same. Lush fairways traverse the natural woodlands and native habitat that have been painstakingly conserved to create a playing experience unlike any other.
