THE COURSE
Founded in 1954, NCR Country Club is located in southwest Ohio featuring two Dick Wilson-designed courses. Dick Wilson designed other signature courses such as Bay Hill, Cog Hill, Doral, and Laurel Valley.

"This is our first trip to Dayton and NCR Country Club. NCR is a championship Caliber course, having hosted several USGA events and a PGA Championship," said head coach Steve Bailey.

With a championship pedigree, the South Course provides a demanding par 71 layout covering 7,055 yards of wooded, rolling terrain. NCR C.C. has played host to the 1969 PGA Championship, 1986 U.S. Women's Open, 1998 U.S. Mid Amateur, 2005 U.S. Senior Open, 2013 USGA Women's State Team Championship and the 2022 U.S. Senior Women's Open.
