Island Resort & Casino for the sixth annual Island Resort Intercollegiate at Sage Run

Harris, Mi -ISland Resort & Casino again organizes the Island Resort Intercollegiate Golf Championship during Labor Day Weekend, 31 August-1 September 2025, on the award-winning Sage Golf Course. This marks the sixth consecutive year of the NCAA golf tournament for men, which has become a prominent event in the early season on the collegial corrugated calendar.

The 54-Holes, two-day Slag-Play event welcomes a competitive field of 12 teams with prominent programs such as Purdue (defensive champions), Michigan, Michigan State and South Dakota State, the tournamentast. Other teams are Miami (OH), Central Florida, West Virginia, St. Mary’s (CA), Illinois State, Utep, Nebraska and Ball State.

“This tournament continues to build a strong tradition and reputation for attracting the best collegial programs from all over the country,” said Tony Mancilla, general manager of Island Resort & Casino. “Sage Run offers a unique and challenging layout that every part of the game of a player tests. We would like to see these athletes and their families experience everything that our resort and golf courses have to offer.”

South Dakota State University organizes the tournament every year, with Hergolfhoofdcoach Parker Edens at the helm. “This is always a great way to start the college wave season, with these top teams that compete together on a great, challenging golf course, said Edens.” This year we welcome another strong competitive field, and It should be filled with great wave for a weekend. We cannot thank the casino and golf course enough for their hospitality and support from college golf. “

Sage Run, designed by the renowned architect Paul Albanese, offers a layout of 7,309 meters par-72 that delivers a pure, robust golf experience, in contrast to others in the region. Inspired by the legendary royal province in Noord -Ireland, Sage Run has rolling richels, raised T -shirts, natural hardwood forests and wide fairways framed by fescue grasses.

A central drumlin ridge runs through the building, creating daring height changes and a strategic mix of short risky par 4s, Reachable PAR 5S and demanding PAR 3S. Robust bunkering, dramatic green complexes and natural contours challenged players to carefully plan every shot.

Mancilla really likes to see the alumni and families of the players experience the beautiful golf destination that Island Resort & Casino has become. “As soon as visitors see the golf course and experience the resort, they want to come back and play it for themselves,” said Mancilla.
