Alabama’s proposed men’s and women’s golf facility 🏌️ received its latest stamp of approval this week from the UofAlabama board of trustees. It comes with a $39 million budget, up from the $26 million price tag approved in June. ⛳️

The project, which would be located off Kicker Road east of campus, included a clubhouse, nine-hole course and separate practice course.
