The Rawls Course, home of the Red Raiders golf teams, is located on the Texas Techcampus. AlumnusJerry S. Rawls donated $8.6 million toward the total cost of approximately $15 million course. Completed in September 2003, the course features an 18-hole course, 60-acre (240,000 m2) driving range, pitching and chipping areas and an indoor facility containing three hitting bays. The Rawls Course was designed byTom Doak of Renaissance Golf Design, Inc.,Traverse City, Michigan. Starting from just a cotton field, the course was created to imitate the land east and south of Lubbock, where theGreat Plains suddenly begin falling into the valleys and canyons that lead to the Caprock region. Lubbock's strong prevailing winds figured prominently in the course's final design.[6] BothGolf Week andTurfnet magazines ranked The Rawls Course as the third best collegiate course in the United States.Golf Magazine ranked it as the second most affordable U.S. course and placed it twenty-third on their list of top 50 golf courses in the nation for $50 or less.[7]
