Redbird History at Clash at Boulder Creek

The tournament is being hosted for just the fourth time, and this season is the second time the Redbirds have been a part of the tournament. Last season the Redbirds finished fifth of 19 schools in the field, while setting a handful of school records in the process. ISU set records for lowest tournament score (857), lowest round (282 – twice), while Jinyoung Yun tied her own school record for lowest single-round score (67). Yun finished with a 210 – which at the time was the second-lowest tournament score in school history – while tying for fifth.

About the Course

Boulder Creek Golf Club boasts three nine-hole courses, which can be played in different 18-hole combinations. Though this Boulder City club is a bit off the beaten path, the scenic location is well worth the drive. The terrain provides different challenges on each nine. The Desert Hawk/Coyote Run combination begins with the longest of the three nines. Desert Hawk has plenty of room for lengthy drives and clear shots to generous fairways. There are also opportunities to work on your short game skills, it’s a nine that will have you using all the clubs in your bag. The back nine is just as diverse with varying elevation changes that depending on where your ball lands can either be a boon or a punishment. Water hazards also come into play on a few holes.
