HOLE 1 - PAR 3

JMA Wireless Dome

You might think this is a standard college field, but it is actually the JMA Wireless Dome. This domed stadium is located on the campus of Syracuse University in the University Hill neighborhood. It serves as the home for the Syracuse Orange football, basketball, and lacrosse teams. Whether you are visiting for a game or just passing through the neighborhood, the scale of the structure is hard to miss. I've seen plenty of things from the air, but this roof is one of the most distinct landmarks in the city. It is a central hub for athletics in Syracuse, New York, and stands as a primary example of the university's sporting presence in the United States.
