The Cardinal Golf & Country Club, Greensboro, NC
For the past 25 years, Guilford College has been fortunate to call The Cardinal Golf & Country Club its home course. The par-70 Pete Dye-designed course measures 6,640 yards from the back tees with a 137 slope and 73.4 U.S. Golf Association rating. Dye is overseeing the course's extensive renovations that will run into early 2007.
The Cardinal is also the site of the annual Tom O'Briant Memorial Tournament hosted each fall by Guilford College and named for Guilford Hall of Famer Tom O'Briant. Past participants in the O'Briant Memorial include the PGA Tour's John Rollins, Len Mattiace and Billy Andrade as well as North Carolina men's golf coach John Inman. Wake Forest golf coach Jerry Haas and former PGA Tour member John Maginnes are among the tournament's individual winners.
Guilford thanks the Cardinal's PGA Professional Scott Stratton and his staff, course superintendent Gary Stafford, club president Grayson Southerland and all of the Cardinal's membership for their generous support of the Quakers' golf program.
