The cutting-edge Lasch Family Golf Center serves the highly ranked MSU men’s and women’s golf programs, offering an iconic, sophisticated and welcoming home for training, studying and socializing. The center features an indoor putting zone, team locker rooms, coaching offices and a modern student-athlete lounge. It also offers a high-tech simulation room, a weight room and a kitchen area.

A striking angular roofline, glass curtainwall and softly glowing Spartan logo greet visitors at the main entrance. An abundant use of glass wraps around the adjacent outdoor putting green and conveys the lush, natural element of the outdoors throughout. This transparency offers direct views to both indoor and outdoor activities from the coaching offices. Cherry-wood ceilings extend from exterior soffits directly into interior planes. Porcelain tile used throughout the center withstands golf cleats and resembles natural stone.

Inside the lounge, wood tones blend with subtle earthy greens, giving the feel of a sophisticated golf club. Trophies and awards are displayed on glass shelves. Locker rooms feature wooden lockers with aerated shoe storage and technology ports. Material choices afford a spa-like feel while meeting the required durability. An indoor putting and chipping green offers an airy practice space, featuring multiple terrain simulations that can be regraded to offer limitless training possibilities.
