Golfing during College

Only recently, I've started hitting up my local driving range and 9 hole course frequently. By frequently, I mean daily. I've definitely been bitten by the golf bug. That's why I am worried that I will get no opportunities to golf when I go to college in mid-August. It is right in the middle of a large city, but I think there might be a decent public course not far from my dorm. Would it be too unusual for me to keep my clubs in my dorm and take a taxi or something to the course on occasion? I just really don't care to give up golf. If this sounds very strange, it is because I am from an extremely rural area and am a little confused as to how this will work in a metropolitan area. I am also wondering if anyone (other than collegiate golfers) bring golf clubs to college.

Thanks!

I always just kept them in my dorm closet when I stayed in a dorm.  Just remember that it takes away space from your small dorm room and make sure its okay with your roommate.  To get to the courses I just become friends with others who had cars or who commuted that I could ride with.  I would never pay for a taxi.

But trying to find the time to play is the hard part.

Why would it be unusual?  I am in college and play all the time but I live at home still and have a car so transportation is not an issue for me.  I am sure you will be able to find someway to get to the course, bring the clubs!

I do not have enough money to do that, thankfully? Lol! Actually, I'm not sure how my income vs expenses will be, so that might not be true.

When I went to college the local course would let students play for $8 during twilight, on weekdays.  All you had to do was show them your college id.  Might have something like that in your college town?

Just found this: " The Vanderbilt Men’s Golf Club was created in order to promote the game of golf among Vanderbilt students and faculty/staff. By introducing golf to those who have not played before and providing experienced players with more opportunities to practice. It is our hope to make the game of golf more accessible to Vanderbilt students. We plan on accomplishing this goal by bringing together Vanderbilt golfers and making the regular playing of golf more affordable for everyone. All Vandy students and faculty/staff of every skill level are more than welcome to join us to either learn the game for the first time, or continue to develop their abilities in a fun and laid back atmosphere." Apparently this is only on Friday afternoons, but it sounds like a good deal.

There you go!!!

I'm working full time, and in college, and I still get out 1-2 times a week.

Golf clubs in my dorm were a normal sight. Granted me and my roommate are both professional golf management students.
