Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility

In April 2011, the LSU Golf House was given a well deserved renaming to the Mary and Woody Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility.

The Tiger Athletic Foundation paid tribute to the couple for their generous donation that helped redo the University Club, making the course more challenging for collegiate golfers. Playing on the course helped the LSU women to their best ever third-place finishes in both the 2011 and 2012 NCAA Championships and most recently appearances in the 2021 and 2022 NCAA Championship.

The Tigers also captured their first SEC Championship in 30 years this past April (2022) in Birmingham.

The facility features office and storage areas for both teams, indoor hitting bays, computer analysis stations and meeting and locker room space for both teams as well as graphic displays of the history of both golf programs through the years. The outdoor hitting area is expansive where players can work on all facets of their game.

The inside of the facility as well as the U-Club clubhouse is also getting an update to showcase the many highlights of the program over its history, including national and international events the Tigers have taken part in.
