Lance Ringler, the favored source on college golf, is saying this course is simply too hard for the women.
The big issue is with the rough, which has been grown out for the men's event.  It takes exceptional strength to hack out of it.  Often, it appears from the reports, women aren't try to advance the ball but are hitting wedges laterially, back on the fairway--effectively treating a drive into the rough as a one-stroke penalty. 

I don't think college golf wants its top 24 teams playing to an average per player of 77.1 strokes.  That's a drop score, not an ideal team average. 

Bring out the three woods and even utility clubs off the tees.  There are some teams that simply are not recruited to play this kind of course.
