LOOK: ‘The Jake’ golf facility is making quick progress

The Oregon Ducks golf practice facility is quickly going up out at Emerald Valley Golf Course.

One of the newest state-of-the-art athletic facilities is currently being built for the Oregon Ducks men’s and women’s golf teams out at Emerald Valley Golf Course in Creswell, and it appears to be coming along nicely.

‘The Jake’ is a multi-million dollar practice facility that is going up just south of Eugene, 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.

The facility broke ground earlier this spring and is expected to be completed at some point this fall, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony expected ahead of one of the Ducks’ home games during the 2023 season. This past week, Emerald Valley GC gave an update on how things are coming along a few months into the process, and it looks like a lot of progress is being made.

LOOK: Oregon offers virtual tour of ‘The Jake’ golf complex at Emerald Valley Golf Club

This virtual tour of ‘The Jake’ is incredible. The Ducks’ new golf practice facility is expected to be completed this fall.

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.
