The Hall Takes on Georgia State Invite This Week

JOHNS CREEK, GA. – The Seton Hall women's golf team will return to action on March 24-25 for three rounds of golf at the Georgia State Spring Invitational at Rivermont Golf Club.

Tournament Details:
GEORGIA STATE INVITATIONAL
Host: Georgia State University
Location: Johns Creek, Ga.
Course: Rivermont Golf Club
Course Vitals: Par-72, 5,945 yards
Dates: March 24-25, 2025

THE COURSE:
Rivermont's centerpiece is the Championship 18-Hole Golf Course originally designed by Joe Lee which underwent a complete re-design by golf course designer, Michael Riley in 2006. The improvements transformed what was already an excellent layout and course into one of the most critically acclaimed courses in Georgia today. Over the last forty-seven years the course has maintained the integrity and beauty of the natural environment and continues to challenge to the low handicapper as well as the new player. Continued improvements over the years, specifically in 2015-2016 and 2019-2020 have helped elevate Rivermont's reputation among golfers both locally and even nationally.

Rivermont has been honored to host nearly thirty qualifiers for the United States Golf Association (local qualifying for the US Open and sectional qualifying for the US Senior Open, the US Mid-Amateur, the US Women's Mid-Amateur and the Men's Four-Ball Championship) as well as more than a dozen Atlanta Amateur Championships for the Georgia State Golf Association. We have also hosted events for the Georgia Section of the PGA, the Atlanta Junior Golf Association and the Southern Golf Association. In 2018, Rivermont hosted the Georgia State Golf Association Junior Championship in June and in 2019 Rivermont Golf Club received an award as the "Best Golf Club" in Johns Creek. In 2023, Rivermont will host the Georgia State Amateur Championship.

LAST TIME OUT
Freshman Marta Aguilar (Casares Malaga, Spain) shot a tournament-best 1-under-par, 71, to vault up the leaderboard and win the individual title of the Northern Kentucky Invitational on March 9.
