The 2006 WAC Championship travels to San Jose, Calif., and Coyote Creek Golf Club. This year's Championship will be held April 24-26, 2006. Drawing inspiration from the land's natural contours, Jack Nicklaus has designed the Tournament Course to reward every skill level and to take advantage of the picturesque terrain. The par-72 course plays 7,027 yards from the tips, but has five tee positions on each hole to accommodate all golfing abilities. Click here for complete information on the WAC Championship.
