Course Information
Eckerd College will host the women's championship at The Bayou Club in Largo, Florida. This year marks the first time the Sunshine State Conference Championship will be played at Bayou.
Founded in 1991, The Bayou Club was designed by legendary golf course architect Tom Fazio. Located in the heart of Pinellas County, the award-winning private championship course is the luxurious centerpiece of the exclusive Bayou community.
The Bayou Club was the host site of the Eckerd Pro-Am with 20 PGA Tour professionals, including Gary Player, Ian Baker-Finch, and Jeff Maggert, paired with local club professionals.
The outstanding course layout gently weaves through oaks, pines, marshes, and bayous. Water comes into play on 16 holes. Nature's sights and sounds abound. Great blue herons, playful otters, manatees, jumping fish, and bald eagles enrich your golf experience.
Throughout the year, golfers of all calibers enjoy outstanding playing conditions on lush Bermuda fairways and new Champion Dwarf Bermudagrass greens, the same putting surface found on 12 PGA Tour venues, including Pinehurst No. 2. In the National Turfgrass Evaluation, Champion had STIMP meter speeds nearly two feet faster than other ultra dwarf grasses.

Spectators who are walking must either stay on the cart paths or in the rough at least 50 yards away from players at all times.
Communication between spectators and players is prohibited and may result in a penalty to the player as it can be seen by a third party (fellow competitor or a coach from another team) as giving advice to the player.
The penalty for a player asking for and/or receiving advice from a spectator is two strokes under rule 8-1.
The definition of advice is "advice is any counsel or suggestion that could influence a player in determining his play, the choice of a club or the method of making a stroke."
