The Course:
This Par 72 premium daily fee public golf course is highlighted by natural sand dunes, and native flora and fauna. Butterfield Trail Golf Club features over 55 feet of elevation changes and avails itself to drama and relief with vertical transitions, making each and every hole a "signature hole." Offering Dominant Plus Bent grass greens, Butterfield Trail provides an unmatched golfer experience and the perfect addition to Sun Country Golf. Located just a long iron shot away from the El Paso International Airport, planned 150-acre industrial park and several partner hotels, Butterfield Trail is an easy choice to take a golf getaway without having to venture too far off the beaten path.

The overall 18-hole Tom Fazio design elaborates on natural topographical features to "keep the golfer's ball into play" and negotiates El Paso's formidable wind with "uphill holes, downhill holes, and carvings into the ground."

The play space is forgiving and playable for everyone regardless of skill level, as it features wide swaths of turf estimated at a little over one hundred acres, and 5 sets of tees. Enjoy the clear blue skies, and scenic natural vistas at Butterfield Trail...Old West. New Setting.

The Field:
In addition to Seton Hall and host UTEP, the field was comprised of nine other teams including: Air Force, Army West Point, Marquette, NM State, San Jose State, Texas State, UT-Rio Grande Valley, UTSA and Western New Mexico.

Up Next:
This completes the 2016 fall season for the Seton Hall. The Pirates will return to action this spring.
