GREENSBORO, N.C.—Greensboro Sports Commission President Kim Strable and UNCG Director of Athletics Kim Record have announced the 2012 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Greensboro Regional will be staged at the Grandover Resort. The regional, previously scheduled to take place at Forest Oaks Country Club, will be held on the East Course of the resort. Grandover Resort also served as the site of the 2011 NCAA Division III Men’s Golf  Championships.

“The NCAA was incredibly impressed with the Grandover golf facility as the host site for the Division III national championship last May,” said Strable. “They enjoy having full service amenities on-site and within close proximity to the venue so this change proved to be a very nice fit.”
 
The golf regional will be the first time UNCG has hosted a multi-team NCAA Championship event since the 1998 Division I Women’s Soccer Championship.

“We are pleased to partner with the Sports Commission in hosting some of the best collegiate golfers in the country,” said Record. “We are expecting a great season from our men’s program and naturally it would be incredible for our players and the entire Greater Greensboro community if we can earn our way into the field at Grandover.”  

The regional sites will be held May 17-19, 2012. The championship is scheduled for May 29 through June 3. Along with UNCG, the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Committee also chose Michigan, Georgia, Western Kentucky, Stanford and Oklahoma as regional hosts in 2012 (see below).
