RE: MAC Golf 2017
Many of the MAC men's teams are playing in a bit of a MAC tourney tuneup in Columbus in OSU's Robert Kepler Invitational at the Scarlet Course. The 15 team field is all Big 10 and MAC teams. Miami, EMU, Akron, Ball St., NIU, BG, and KSU are all playing.
Round 2 is currently underway with the final round Sunday.
OSU/Kepler Inv. LIVE SCORING
The women's MAC Tournament is underway at Silver Lake CC. (about halfway between Akron and Kent). The second round is complete. This one is really no contest. The top 4 KSU women are all ahead of the rest of the field, and KSU leads by 19 with the final round Sunday.

Don't they have their own golf course?

I honestly don't know. I was more confused by EMU hosting a tournament in central Ohio.

They almost always play neutral sites and they rotate the "host" duties regardless of where the tourney is. Anyone could be the host at the tourney site.
The Virtues is a great place to play. It's out in the middle of nowhere, so you don't have to worry about much. Plus Tuesday and Wednesday next week rounds for $47 bucks. I'll take that.

It was KSU's 24th MAC championship for the men.
EMU, who is ranked #110 at Golfstat, probably had the most disappointing result. Most of the other MAC schools are in the the 130-150 range with a couple up in the 160's. (There are 293 schools who have D-I men's golf.)

RE: MAC Golf 2017
I'll take a fifth place that is only a half-dozen shots off the medal platform.
All things considered the NIU men's and women's (2nd place) golf programs had a solid year!

The EMU course is too short. But it is nice.
