Northwestern men’s and women’s golf teams have facilities that are among the best in the country.

The Luke Donald Outdoor Practice Facility has been open since 2006, but when conditions call for it, the Wildcats can move inside and still get better at the Gleacher Golf Center.

The facility has a 5,400 square-foot short-game and putting area with raised ceilings, and the putting green is 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 at any angle and an overhead projector that utilizes augmented reality to display putting paths and drills

And for when practice is over, there’s a 1,200-square-foot student-athlete lounge.

Here’s a look at more college golf practice facilities.
