Spartans Complete Fall Slate This Weekend at the Landfall Tradition

EAST LANSING -- The 26^th-ranked Michigan State women's golf team will wrap up its fall schedule this weekend at the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, North Carolina. The three-day tournament hosted by UNCW will take place Friday – Sunday at the Country Club of Landfall.

"It's another great opportunity," MSU head coach Stacy Slobodnik-Stoll said. "There will be several of the top teams in the country participating, so it's another great field. We just have to continue to see where we stack up and what we need to work on over the winter break to be ready for the spring.

"We always love this tournament; it's a great field and a great place. We always get great support from a lot of awesome Spartan fans."

The Course
While the Country Club of Landfall sustained some damage due to Hurricane Florence, the club's Pete Dye course will be ready to go this weekend. The par-72 course will play at 6,166 yards. Learn more about the course at the tournament website here.
