The 10,000 square foot Haddock House, situated in the southwest corner of the Arnold Palmer Golf Complex, features coaches’ offices, locker rooms, team meeting areas and a Heritage Room that showcases the history of Wake Forest Golf. The Heritage Room and other adaptable spaces within the building will also be available for use for campus events, gatherings and receptions. Out front is a statue of Palmer himself.
