Indoor Golf Facility

With the completion of Stile Field House in the summer of 2004, the newest addition to Akron's Athletics Facilities Complex, the UA golf team moved into its state-of-the-art indoor practice facility.

The indoor golf facility is one of only two in the Midwest, with the other being at Northwestern University. In order to assist with each student-athlete's play on the course, the indoor golf facility features a putting green, bunker and a video player development simulator.

In addition to helping the players perform on the course, the golf facility also features offices for the coaching staff and a study lounge to help classroom performance.

The biggest advantage the facility gives the golf team is the ability to train every day of the year. Along with the ability to use state-of-the-art technology for performance analysis, UA's golf team now has an advantage over the nation's top competition.

In addition to the indoor golf facility, the Stile Field House features a full 120-yard AstroPlay field and a 300-meter Mondo track.

Additional components of the building include spectator seating for approximately 1,200, a new sports medicine center, varsity locker rooms and athletics equipment storage areas.

To help the team prepare for a long season on the course, the Stile Field House features a strength and conditioning center with over 8,000-square-feet of space, which includes both strength training and rehabilitation equipment.

This addition to UA athletics will enable the men's golf team and the rest of the 18 intercollegiate teams to have an advantage when it comes to recruiting the top student-athlete's in the nation.

All 18 of UA's intercollegiate athletics teams have access to the area, both in season, and for off-season conditioning workouts.

Akron's intramurals program will also use the synthetic turf field, giving students a chance to compete on a professional-caliber surface.
