The event is set to be held at Birdwood Golf Course. Set against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Birdwood Golf Course originally opened in 1984 and was designed by Lindsay Ervin.
In 2018 the course underwent a 20-month renovation led by legendary PGA Professional Davis Love III and Love Golf Design. When it reopened in July of 2020, only five holes remain relatively similar to the original course, sharing the same corridors, direction and par as their predecessors. Golf Digest ranked it the No. 3 new course in 2021, Golf.com ranked it the No. 7 course in Virginia and GolfLink listed it as the ninth-best college course.
The Cavalier Regional Preview consists of 36 holes on Monday with the final holes 18 holes of play Tuesday.
In its first tournament of the season, Bailey Davis tied for eighth with a 2-under showing at the Cougar Classic.
