When you think of Purdue University, you think of exceptional academics and fantastic collegiate sports. But with today’s feature, you’ll start associating the Boilermakers with golf thanks to the awesome features of the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex located right in West Lafayette.

Designed by legendary course architect and golf legend, Pete Dye, the Ackerman-Allen Course, also known as the old South Course, is one of the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex’s two championship-style gems. Built in the mid-1930s by Indiana Golf Hall of Famer Bill Diddle and now reimagined as a 7,500-yard parkland style challenge, this testy 18 intertwines rolling hills, tree-lined fairways, white sand bunkers, and even some water to test your ability to hit it straight and avoid the trouble. Rated 76.8 and measuring a slope of 137 from the back set of tees, a smart strategy at Ackerman-Allen is all about course management and shot execution if you want to shoot a low score on the day.

Also designed by Pete Dye, Birck Boilermaker’s exclusively private Kampen-Cosler Course, is the perfect counterpoint to the fantastic Ackerman-Allen parkway-style masterpiece. Playing almost 7,500 yards from the back set of tees, this links-style challenge recalls the best of Europe’s original golf courses, testing your game with traditional challenges like vast sand bunkers — all recently renovated — as well as native grasslands, ponds, and a natural celery bog. Rated one of the most difficult golf courses in Indiana and set to host the 2024 NCAA Regionals as one of the top collegiate courses in the nation, Kampen-Cosler is truly a pleasure to play thanks to not only the fantastic course design, but also the exceptional conditions and relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere.

Though the two outstanding courses give you more than enough reason to visit the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, the awesome amenities are truly the icing on the cake. No matter if you want new equipment, or just some Purdue golf apparel, the complex’s golf shop carries all you need to play, and look, your best. If you’re in need of some practice to help perfect your game, Birck Boilermaker features a full-service driving range, short game area, and even indoor heated range bays to help you battle the elements any time of the year.

Two fantastic golf courses, one fantastic golf destination. Don’t wait – plan your trip to the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex now!
