Although Northwestern's golf teams do have a dedicated practice area at the back of the Glen Club's range, their rota of courses for practice rounds is pretty awesome. Apparently they have access to a large number of North Shore venues on a regular basis.
Those NU guys are a lucky bunch. I believe their old head coach prior to Pat Goss was/is the Pro at Conway...hence why they play there quite a bit. When Luke was still in school they played and practiced at Glen View probably 3x a week due to John Cleary being an assistant coach of NU and a Pro at GVC.
The story goes that after graduating and turning pro, Luke asked about joining GVC as he likes the course, it doesn't get a lot of play, and he was living in Evanston at the time. The then President of the Club told him to "file an application" and to go through the process like everyone else...Luke then immediately joined North Shore CC.
Today, NU gets their pick of clubs on the North Shore. Generally speaking from the guys I know who have somewhat recently graduated they all hate the Glen Club, think Shoreacres is too easy, North Shore has a lousy range, Skokie has limited flight range balls that stink, etc... aka they are doing their best professional golfer impression!!!
