LONE PALM GOLF CLUB CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING OF STATE-OF-THE-ART GOLF FACILITY WITH RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY
LAKELAND, Fla., May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On Wednesday, May 21, Florida Southern College celebrated the grand opening of its new, state-of-the-art golf clubhouse at Lone Palm Golf Club in Lakeland, Fla, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring remarks from student-athletes, alumni, community leaders, and distinguished guests. The 4,000-square-foot facility marks a major milestone in the continued tradition of excellence for Florida Southern's men's and women's golf programs. Designed to serve as a hub for performance, training, and recognition, the clubhouse features a Championship Lobby showcasing all 33 titles earned collectively by the men's and women's teams. The space also includes dedicated offices for coaches, two TrackMan hitting simulators, a cutting-edge PuttView studio, a fitness and rehabilitation area, a versatile meeting room, and a modern student-athlete lounge. "We're incredibly excited to open this stunning new clubhouse," said Drew Howard, Director of Athletics and Dean of Wellness at Florida Southern College. "Florida Southern golf has a proud tradition of competitive excellence and a longstanding partnership with Lone Palm Golf Club. This new space not only honors that legacy—it secures it for the future." The building also honors two influential figures in the program's history: the pro-style locker rooms have been named in recognition of Robbie Davis, women's golf head coach and Doug Gordin, former men's golf head coach—each known for their leadership, mentorship, and lasting contributions to Florida Southern's national success. "Thanks to the generous support of our alumni and donors, we've built something that will elevate our programs and help us attract the very best student-athletes to Florida Southern College," Howard added. The opening of the new clubhouse sets the stage for future achievements, providing student-athletes with the resources, technology, and environment needed to continue competing at the highest level.
