PGA Pro David Toms unveiled the redesign yesterday at a special event for University Club Plantation residents, club members, and those interested in membership. Attendees of the September 16th event saw firsthand how the renovations transformed University Club into a course unlike any other in the Southeast.
The renovation project began nine months ago through the support of the LSU Golf program and the Tiger Athletic Foundation.
