CAL GOLF SORGAE FACILI

The California men’s and women’s golf programs have an exclusive short-game facility at the Metropolitan Golf Links in Oakland. The lead donors that brought the $600,000 project to fruition were Ed and Mollie Arnold, Ellen and Joffa Dale, Jay deBenedetti, Lon and Becci Haskew, Judy Isaac, and Pat and Kent Newmark. The two-and-a-half acre state-of-the-art short-game facility opened in 2007 after breaking ground the previous year following a long planning process. It is conveniently located on the southwest corner of the Metropolitan Golf Links near the Oakland International Airport, approximately 15 minutes from campus. Built to USGA specifi cations, the facility features two extremely large greens – one for putting and chipping, and the other for the aerial game, including pitching and bunker play.
