The Northwest men’s and women’s golf teams have some of the best facilities in the country.
The Luke Donald Outdoor Practice Center has been open since 2006, but when conditions demand, the Wildcats can move indoors and improve further at the Gleacher Golf Center.
The facility features a 5,400 square foot short game and putting area with raised ceilings, and the putting green measures nearly 3,000 square feet. There are three bays with Swing Catalyst force plates and a TrackMan.
Another cool feature is the 19-foot by 8-foot digitally adjustable putting platform, which includes a 3D-modeled green that can be tilted to any angle and an overhead projector that uses augmented reality to display putting paths. putting and exercises.
And when practice is over, there’s a 1,200-square-foot student-athlete lounge.
