Golf course

Colleges & Universities Penn State

<p>I recently learned that Penn state has a golf course at university park. Do any of you guys know if students can use it/take lessons etc?</p>

2

<p>Don’t know about regular access/lessons - but PSU requires students to take 3 hours of Health & Physical Activity classes - and golf is offered as one of the options.</p>

<p>Now that sounds interesting! When you say that Penn state requires students to take these classes you mean that they count towards getting your degree?</p>

<p>Yup - counts toward your degree. (Note: be sure to check specific degree curriculum for any special requirements)</p>

This link shows the Health & Physical Activity courses</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for the info! I believe that engineering degrees (aerospace for me) it doesn’t count towards your degree :/</p>

<p>Look at page 5 of the link below. The 5th and 7th semesters both require 1.5 hours of Health & Physical Activity (GHA). </p>

<p>These General Ed classes are university requirements. Everyone has to fulfill them. The only difference is that some curricula may specify courses for students to take - ones that fulfill the Gen Ed requirement AND the degree requirements. For example, Arch Engr requires you to take several Architecture courses, which fulfill the Gen Ed Arts requirement. </p>

<p>I’m going to buy a membership for the summer/fall. For students, I think it’s around $200</p>

<p>Golf is definitely available as a GHA. It is always funny to see the introductory classes out on the course, getting instruction in how to drive and park the carts.</p>

<p>LOL!!! 1moremom - maybe I need to take that class! DS#2 is my golfer (varsity team) and he just cringes whenever I drive a golf cart!</p>
