Men’s Golf to Wrap Up Fall Campaign in Cincinnati – Morehead State University Athletics

Posted by Admin October 20, 2024 Golf

For the third straight week the Morehead State men’s golf team will hit the links in competition. The Eagles will trek to Cincinnati for the Xavier Invitational on Monday and Tuesday at Maketewah Country Club.

The original course was designed by Tom Bendelow and opened in 1910. It was redesigned by famed golf course designer Donald Ross in 1919 and opened for play in 1922. A further expansion and redesign was completed by Ross in 1929. The course plays 7,109 with a par of 70.

“We love making the trip to Maketewah,” said Morehead State head coach Matthew Martin. Xavier puts on a great event and the golf course is fantastic.”

The Xavier Invitational will be the last of the fall season for Morehead State. “We have enjoyed success there and look for that to continue as we end the fall season,” said Martin.

After the winter break, the Eagles will kick off their Spring campaign February 16-18 at the Casablanca Collegiate in Mesquite, Nev.
