THE COURSE – Par 72 | 7,505 yards
Originally opened in 1962, Seminole Legacy Golf Club recently underwent a $10 million renovation of all golf facilities. The course offers surprising elevation changes of up to 50 feet, and offers stunning visuals highlighted by 100-year-old live oaks and stately pine trees. It is the home of Florida State men's and women's golf.

TCU finished fourth at the Big 12 Championship on April 28.
