Tombros Varsity Clubhouse

The Tombros Varsity Clubhouse is the newest asset of Penn State’s men’s and women’s golf teams. The is conveniently located between the Blue and White Courses, just west of the Blue Course’s 18th hole and right next to the Walker Clubhouse.

Peter and Ann Tombros propelled the project with an initial donation in 2007. The project was additionally funded by donations from numerous alumni and Nittany Lion Club donors.

The facility provides coaches’ offices, team locker rooms and club storage. A lounge with a big screen TV allows the team to relax and study while at the course. A new heated indoor hitting-net facility and indoor-to-outdoor hitting bays give the golfers an advantage, especially in the winter months. A new V-1 video system provides the team with video instruction to help improve development.

In addition to its prime location and exceptional features, the facility will also give the program an edge from a recruiting standpoint as it is better able to compete with the programs who previously had their own facilities.

“This building will definitely start with recruiting, but when the players get here, we look at process and how much they enjoy and remember the program,” said Nittany Lion head coach Greg Nye. “The process of the daily activity, of running a program and of being a comfort to the players, it is a place where they can launch from to do the necessary practice, to do the work to get better, to compete hard and to be successful.”
