GameAbove Opens Its Golf Performance Center
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for EMU's golf programs' new world-class indoor training site.
The GameAbove Golf Performance Center at Eagle Crest Golf Course held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Jan. 16. The momentous occasion marked the culmination of a visionary project that promised to redefine the landscape of collegiate golf training.
The two-story facility, perched elegantly overlooking the 18th green and Ford Lake, was made possible through an $8 million investment from GameAbove. It is a testament to the commitment to golf excellence. This state-of-the-art training complex, spanning 13,000 square feet, offers any golfer adequate space to improve their game. With locker rooms, meeting spaces, indoor putting and chipping areas, and cutting-edge simulators, the facility provides an unparalleled training environment for all elements of the game.
The building features a dedicated practice range spanning 6,619 square feet, allowing golfers to hone their skills with targeted training sessions. A specialized area covering 5,383 square feet has been designated for chipping and putting, ensuring that every aspect of the game is meticulously addressed in the training regimen. Additionally, including two TrackMan 4 Simulators, totaling 1,974 square feet, adds a cutting-edge dimension to the training experience. These simulators bring the outdoor game indoors, allowing precision training regardless of external conditions.
GameAbove broke ground for the facility on Sept. 30, 2022, and invested $8 million in it.
Besides the performance center, Eagle Crest also saw an expansion in 2023 that recently opened. It includes a 2,700-square-foot clubhouse addition with an expanded kitchen and lounge and four golf simulators.
