The $3 million complex is located at 4255 Marsh Road in DeLand.
Much of the facility's funding came from its namesakes: former Hatter golfer Sandy Edinger '65 and his wife, Martha, of Bradenton, Florida. (The complex's webpage lists other naming opportunities for potential donors.)
Additional highlights include two pitching greens, a large putting green and five target greens (at 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 yards). As a result, Hatters have the opportunity to improve their short game as well as hit target greens up to 310 yards away. From under roof cover, the golfers are able to hit outside onto the golf range, rain or shine.
Course highlights include the two pitching greens, a large putting green and five target greens (at 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 yards).
Also notably, the course features no grass. Instead, the Edinger Golf Complex sports synthetic turf, which offers greater opportunities for skill development and lower environmental impact, according to Shelburne and former men's coach Larry Watson. A former touring pro, Watson was an integral part of the facility's design before retiring from Stetson in July 2021.
The clubhouse, meanwhile, has locker rooms for both the men's and women's teams, plus a common area for players to study and have meetings, coaches' offices, a kitchen, and an a team room. So, the Hatters have a new home — an actual place of their own.
