Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex

Purdue University's Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex contains two 18-hole courses: Pete Dye's Kampen Course (redesigned with 32 Purdue students and rebuilt over the old "North Course"), and the Ackerman Hills course (the old "South Course"). Dye himself is a Purdue alum, so he was the logical choice to redesign the North Course into a collegiate championship-level golf course.

Purdue University's Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex contains two 18-hole courses: Pete Dye's Kampen Course (redesigned with 32 Purdue students and rebuilt over the old "North Course"), and the Ackerman Hills course (the old "South Course"). Dye himself is a Purdue alum, so he was the logical choice to redesign the North Course into a collegiate championship-level golf course.

Dye and his students certainly accomplished the job; the Kampen Course (4.5 stars from Golf Digest) has hosted (thus far) these high-profile events:

2009 Big Ten Championships
2008 NCAA Men's Division 1 Championships
2004 NCAA Men's Golf Central Regional
2003 NCAA Women's Golf National Championships
2001 NCAA Women's Golf Central Regional
2000 Western Junior Regional
2000 Men's Big Ten Championships
1999 Women's Big Ten Championships

Have played both courses. Kampen is a classic Pete Dye design. Fabulous to the eye, both demanding and difficult but not to the point of discouragement.
Ackerman is in very good condition. Course is of moderate difficulty except for the greens, many of which are extremely tricky. Many holes have fairly sharp doglegs so the course would be difficult to play for the first time without someone who has played it before.
