Development and funding

[edit | edit source]

The Lonnie Poole Golf Course was designed by Arnold Palmer and the design team at Arnold Palmer Design Company. It was the only collegiate course ever designed by Arnold Palmer.[1]

The course is named for Lonnie Poole Jr., NC State alum and founder of Waste Industries. Poole and his wife provided a naming gift to fund the golf course as well as a lead gift for the clubhouse construction. Other donors from the NC State community have also contributed to the development of the clubhouse and practice facilities, which was built solely on private donations.[2]

Operation

The purpose of the facility is to provide a public golf course on the Centennial Campus of NC State University that serves as a venue for the men’s and women's golf teams. It also facilitates turfgrass and stormwater research associated with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS). The golf course also serves as a teaching and training facility for the Professional Golf Management (PGM) Program in the College of Natural Resources.[2][3]
