DESTIN, FL, Oct. 2, 2012 /CNW/ - The award winning Raven Golf Club and Baytowne Golf Club will host this year's Golfweek Division III Collegiate Men's and Women's Fall Preview Tournament this Oct. 13-16.

Thirty-three teams will have the opportunity to play on two of Florida's premier courses. The four day tournament will challenge players on two stunning courses. Golfers will play on the beautiful greens while having to overcome the courses' water hazards and sand bunkers to win the coveted title.

This event marks the first women's Division III tournament hosted by Golfweek. Fifteen women's teams will compete over 54 holes at the Baytowne Golf Club while 18 men's teams will compete at the Raven Golf Club.

This is the second year that Sandestin was selected to host a Golfweek Collegiate Series event. The 2013 NCAA Division III Men's and Women's Golf Championships will be hosted by Methodist University also at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

"We have witnessed some great golf on some outstanding courses, and with the year's lineup of players and venues, the event is getting even better," said Lance Ringler, Golfweek's assistant editor and collegiate events writer.
