There’s been an arms race of sorts brewing in college athletics, especially over the last two decades.
Across the nation colleges and universities have been beefing up their golf practice facilities, producing some incredible practice areas for their student-athletes that you have to see to believe. From all the latest video technology to locker room entertainment, golf facilities are becoming the place to be on campus.
So, your friends at Golfweek are showcasing a database of college golf facilities.
