The newest multi-million dollar facility is under construction in Eugene, this time giving a state-of-the-art location for the men’s and women’s golf teams at the University of Oregon to continue their championship-level play into the future.
The Jake, a practice facility being built at Emerald Valley Golf Club just south of Eugene, is named after Peter and Jan Jacobsen, a pair of historic figures in the world of Oregon golf. It is a 6,000-square-foot facility with three indoor driving bays, an indoor putting studio, and a heated outdoor driving range.
On Wednesday, the University offered a virtual tour of the facility that is currently being built.

Expectations are that The Jake will be completed and ready for use this fall, hopefully in September or October. There is a believe that a ribbon cutting will take place on one of the weekends where Oregon plays at Autzen Stadium, allowing for alumni and notable Duck legends to be in town for the ceremony.
