Opened in 2006, The 49er golf program's short-game practice facility is located at Rocky
River Golf Club in nearby Concord, N.C. A result of the collaborative
effort of the University and the City of Concord, it provides 49ers
golfers with a place to practice each and every aspect of their game,
any day of the week. The facility includes an 8,500 square-foot bent
grass putting green, chipping areas of both zoysia and bermuda grasses, a
green side and fairway bunker and a 22,000 square-foot practice tee.
The facility, located adjacent to #2 tee, also includes a
full locker room equipped with bathroom/shower facilities. Each player has his
own individual locker to store all personal items.
The facility also features indoor hitting bays for those
rainy days. It also includes a state-of-the-art swing analysis system. The
walls are decorated with historical 49ers golf achievements and murals.
The facility includes a rec-room that features a full-size
ping pong table and space for the players to relax.
