WOLCOTT, Colo.- Charlotte Women’s Golf is set to tee off in the Golfweek Red Sky Golf Challenge beginning on Monday, a three-day, 54-hole tournament held at the Red Sky Golf Course hosted by Golfweek.
Red Sky Golf Club, designed by Tom Fazio, features significant elevation changes and a diverse range of terrain. As Fazio describes it, “Red Sky Golf Club not only provides the opportunity to play great golf, but also to encounter dramatic Rocky Mountain landscapes in their pure environmental forms.” Some of the highlights of the course include open sage-covered hills, dense aspen forests, a highland lake, hand-planted sage and juniper bushes, and elaborate bunkers.

This title was the fourth in program history and the first for McMahan’s tenure at Charlotte.
Ting Uang tied the lowest round in program history by shooting a 67 in round one. Caroline Johnson was one stroke behind at 67 for a new personal best and tied for the second best score in the Charlotte record book.
