The University Club of Baton Rouge in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is the home of the LSU Tigers and LSU Lady Tigers golf teams and serves as the host site for all of LSU's tournaments.
The University Club is a private facility that was built to be the permanent home of LSU Golf. It has a 7,700 yard, Par 72 Championship-Caliber, 300-acre course.
The University Club was developed on land donated to the Tiger Athletic Foundation (TAF) and subsequently leased to the University Club. The Tiger Athletic Foundation is a private, non-profit corporation which serves as the fund-raising and development arm of the LSU Athletics Department. Membership in the club is offered to members of the Tiger Athletic Foundation and then extended to the general public, who first must become members of the Tiger Athletic Foundation. The club is owned and managed by a corporation made up of LSU supporters. The Tiger Athletic Foundation also supports the club.
The course was originally designed by Jim Lipe and opened in 1998. The course was later redesigned by former LSU All-American golfer David Toms and the original designer, Jim Lipe in 2010. It's redesign took advantage of the natural topography keeping in mind the Louisiana wetlands that surround the golf course.
