Birck Boilermaker (Kampen-Cosler)
Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex (Kampen-Cosler course): A firm fixture on Indiana's Pete Dye Golf Trail, the Kampen course is one of two championship layouts at Purdue University's golf facility ..... the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex.
Originally known as Purdue North, the Kampen-Cosler layout was substantially redesigned by Pete Dye in 1994. The complex's Ackerman-Allen course (formerly Purdue South) has also benefitted from the legendary designer's attentions.
The original North course was typically regarded as Purdue University's No.2 layout, behind the South course. That all changed after Pete Dye's radical redesign allowed the re-launched Kampen course to assume top spot. Kampen-Cosler is now rated one of the United State's best collegiate courses.
The links-style Kampen layout presents a challenge to golfers of all abilities. With its native grasslands, ponds and a natural celery bog, Kampen offers five sets of tees with the championship course stretching to over 7,400 yards. This modern championship layout is characterised by easy to walk terrain, vast fairway-hugging sand bunkers and large well-defended greens.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.

The golf facilities of Purdue University, known as the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, take their name from Michael and Kay Birck, who gave considerable amounts of their time and money to Purdue University. The sports teams and alumni of Purdue are known as the Boilermakers.
Birck Boilermaker's Kampen-Cosler course (formerly known as Purdue North) is named in honour of Emerson Kampen, a big supporter of Purdue Athletics whose statue overlooks the 1st tee, and also Purdue alumni and Purdue Athletics supporters Steve & Lynne Cosler.
