MONTGOMERY, Ala. | Alabama State University will celebrate the grand opening of its new Hornet Golf Clubhouse on Thursday, April 9, at 9:00 a.m. CST. Located near the Houston Markham Football Complex, the facility is among the first on-campus golf clubhouses at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU).

The ceremony will include remarks from university leadership, recognition of key contributors, and a ceremonial ribbon cutting.

The clubhouse represents a major investment in ASU Athletics, enhancing student-athlete development, recruitment, and overall competitiveness.

"We will be among the first HBCUs to have a facility like this located on our campus," said ASU President Dr. Quinton T. Ross, Jr. "What we are unveiling is the result of a collective vision by ASU's leadership team to help us train and develop scholar golf-athletes and generate interest among student-golfers nationwide to join Hornet Nation."
Vice President and Director of Athletics Dr. Jason Cable emphasized the facility's broader impact.

"This is a state-of-the-art facility that is rare not only among HBCUs but across Division I programs," Cable said. "Our golf clubhouse and training facility will add tremendous value to the student-athlete experience at Alabama State. Golf is a global sport that extends far beyond graduation and plays a major role in professional and social environments. This facility will allow us to continue preparing our student-athletes for success both on and off the course."

The clubhouse will also support the university's "CommUniversity" initiative by fostering engagement with the Montgomery community.

The grand opening is open to university leadership, student-athletes, alumni, community members, and supporters.
