DULUTH, Ga. | The Jackson State men's golf program hits the course for the first time since 2017 on Wednesday morning in the opening round of the Bridgestone HBCU Invitational hosted at the TPC Sugarloaf.

The tournament features Florida A&M, Howard, Southern, and Tennessee State along with the Tigers. Tournament pairings and tee times will be announced later in the day on Tuesday following each team's practice sessions.

TPC Sugarloaf's par-72, 7,259-yard championship golf course (also known as "The Stables and The Meadows" courses) was crafted to fit harmoniously with its surroundings on the site of the former Rollins Farm. Named by Golf Digest among the "Best New Private Clubs in the U.S." when it debuted in 1997 and by Golfweek among the "Top 100 Best Residential Golf Courses for 2007-2008," the course features tree-lined Bermuda fairways and a challenging layout featuring streams, lakes and hills.

The course includes a third nine, The Pines course. While these nine holes are slightly shorter in distance, The Pines course is every bit as compelling as The Meadows and Stables courses. All three nines offer four sets of tees on each hole, enabling golfers of all abilities to enjoy the subtle nuances and intricate design features. TPC Sugarloaf boasts an impressive 10-acre practice facility featuring multi-tiered hitting areas, 2 360-degree short game areas including a 20,000 square-foot putting green surrounded by sand traps, and an expansive private teaching area to accommodate private and group golf lessons.
