The Kampen Course

Welcome to Lafayette/West Lafayette, Indiana, home of Purdue University and the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex. The Kampen Course, a Pete Dye design, is an 18-hole, links-style, par-72 championship golf course featuring large bent-grass greens, fairways and tees. The layout presents a challenge for golfers of all abilities with vast sand bunkers, native grasslands, ponds and a natural celery bog. Kampen offers five sets of tees with the championship tees playing over 7,400 yards and the forward tees playing at 5,300 yards.
Kampen is rated one of the top collegiate courses in the nation and has been awarded 4.5 stars on Golf Digest's “Places to Play.” Kampen receives high marks as it is ranked as one of the most difficult golf courses in Indiana. The course has also played host to a number of prestigious collegiate and public tournaments such as the 2000 Men's Big Ten Championship, the 2003 Women's NCAA Championship, the 2004 Indiana Open, the 2005 Women's Western Amateur, the 2008 Men's NCAA Championship and the 2011 Men's Big Ten Men's Golf Championships.

  1. Kampen sure looks like a tough golf course! And it looks great, too! No wonder lots of competitions were held in this course. A good thing about this is that it’s also environment-friendly because they monitor water quality and recycle them. Nice!
