The LSU men’s and women’s golf teams enjoy a state-of-the-art practice facility at their home course, the University Club of Baton Rouge. The Mary and Woody Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility provides a premier year-round training environment, enabling student-athletes to focus on improving their performance.
This $850,000 facility, funded by the Tiger Athletic Foundation, serves as a dedicated golf development center for the LSU golf programs. It has played a vital role in shaping elite talent, including 2017 National Player of the Year Sam Burns and 2024 Annika Award winner Ingrid Lindblad.
The University Club offers exceptional practice amenities, including a 100-yard-long tee box, 3 target wedge greens, a 10,000-square-foot putting green and a multi-tiered chipping green equipped with practice bunkers for comprehensive skill refinement. Inside the facility, a cutting-edge putting green with adjustable elevation and angles allows players to master every aspect of putting. Additionally, the indoor hitting bay features a TRACKMAN swing analyzer, which captures and evaluates critical details of the golf swing.
The facility, known as the “Golf House,” is fully equipped to meet the needs of the teams. It includes men’s and women’s locker rooms, offices for coaches, a kitchen, and ample indoor and outdoor storage. The Webb Family Meeting Room serves as a central hub for team activities and discussions, featuring a recovery station, massage chairs, and a conference table.
A recent renovation has enhanced the facility, adding striking graphic designs in the lobby and meeting room that celebrate the history of LSU’s golf programs. These designs prominently display the men’s program’s five NCAA National Championship trophies, underscoring the legacy of excellence at LSU Golf.
