YPSILANTI, Mich.

Rich Harvest Farms is a private, 18-hole, 1,800-acre golf course and country club that wad built in 1989 and expanded in 1999. Owned by Northern Illinois University graduate Jerry Rich, Rich Harvest Farms hosted the 2007 NCAA Central Regional Men's Golf Championships and was the 2009 site of the Solheim Cup USA v.

Despite firing a final round 302, EMU finished in third place at the 2011 MAC Championship with a cumulative score of 1,198 (297-300-299-302). Kent State University captured its third consecutive league title, finishing at one-under par 1,151 (292-275-292-292) on the par 72, 7,180 yard TPC River's Bend course in Mainville, Ohio.
Nick Carbary (Kalamazoo, Mich.-Mattawan) finished in a tie for fifth place with a six-over 294 (71-75-71-77) while Brian Churchill-Smith (Oakville, Ontario, Canada-Oakville Trafalgar) placed 10th with a 299 (74-76-71-78).
Kent State's Mackenzie Hughes claimed individual medalist honors with a four-under 284 (70-67-73-74) earning him a two shot victory over teammate John Hahn as the Golden Flashes had four players finish in the top 10.
