Returning to the Reserve at Spanos Park, the upcoming NCAA Division I Men’s Golf West Regional, begins Monday, May 16 and concludes Wednesday, May 18. The competition is one of six NCAA regional qualifying events.
“Visit Stockton is thrilled to continue our partnership with the University of the Pacific to host the upcoming NCAA Men’s Golf Regional in Stockton,” expressed Visit Stockton CEO Wes Rhea. “Not only does it allow our residents and visitors to enjoy top notch collegiate competition from the best student-athletes in their sport, but it also provides us the opportunity to showcase our fantastic sports facilities and venues.”
