RALEIGH -- The NC State men's golf team ends the 2014-15 regular season at home this weekend, hosting the Wolfpack Spring Open at Lonnie Poole Golf Course on April 18 and 19. Tee times will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday and 8:00 a.m. on Sunday.
The Season Record
NC State enters the final tournament of the regular season with a W-L-T record of 78-47-3. The Pack is ranked 48th in the latest GolfStat relative rankings, which were released on April 15. NC State has finished within the top five of tournament fields on five occasions this season.
The Course
Known as an excellent and challenging course on the NCAA golf circuit, Lonnie Poole Golf Course hosted the 2014 NCAA Men's Regional and will host the 2015 NCAA Women's Regional and the 2018 NCAA Men's Regional. Located on 250 acres inside the city of Raleigh, the golf course routing is dictated by large elevation changes. It meanders around large buffer areas that were left in place to protect streams and wetlands in the Neuse River watershed. The buffer provides a protected habitat for wildlife and native plant species. Erik Larsen and Brandon Johnson, both graduates of the NC State College of Design, were the lead architects.
For the purposes of the Wolfpack Spring Open, the golf course will play a par of 71 over 7,284 yards.
