College golf facilities: East Tennessee State and Warren-Greene Golf Center

Take a look at the Warren-Greene Golf Center.

East Tennessee State has been one of the better mid-major programs in recent years, and seeing its practice facilities shows a big reason why.

TheĀ Warren-Greene Golf CenterĀ was designed by world-renowned golf architect Tom Fazio and sits on 14 acres of land overlooking the ETSU campus. Named in honor of longtime ETSU men’s golf coach Fred Warren and ETSU golf supporter William B. Greene, Jr., the Warren-Greene Golf Center includes six target greens, two bent-grass greens (one for putting and one for short-game work), three tee areas, a fairway bunker and four greenside bunkers.

The accompanying 3,000-square-foot, two-story building contains coaches’ offices, meeting rooms, the Hal Morrison Hall of Fame room, players’ lounge, two indoor hitting bays and an observation deck.

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

No. 19 Lady Vols shut out East Tennessee State tennis

No. 19 Lady Vols defeat East Tennessee State, 7-0.

No. 19 Tennessee (6-2) defeated East Tennessee State (1-4), 7-0, on Saturday at Goodfriend Tennis Center.

“Every single one of our players is ready to win at a high level,” Tennessee head coach Alison Ojeda said. “These guys normally push us pretty hard and they pushed us per game, not per set. What I mean by that is we are winning games 40-30 instead of deuce or 40-15 instead of 40-30. When you start to do that from one game to the next, to the next and next. Then, you start to win sets 6-0, 6-1, and 6-2s, so we are ready to perform at a higher level against better competition. From a team standpoint, we got better all across the board today.”

Here are 5 of the biggest stories from men’s college golf this fall

A busy fall has set the stage for an exciting spring in men’s college golf.

It seems as if national champions were crowned just yesterday, but instead we’re at the end of the fall college golf season in one of the craziest starts to the year in the sport’s history.

Sure, the top teams have claimed tournament titles and new stars have burst onto the scene, but that doesn’t mean the season has been short on drama and storylines and events that have altered the sport.

College golf is entering a quiet time until February, when it will quickly ramp back up as teams begin the pursuit to make it to Omni La Costa in Carlsbad, California, site of the 2024 NCAA Championships.

Here are some of the biggest stories from men’s college golf this fall.
