Kampen-Cosler Course

The Kampen-Cosler Course is an 18-hole, links-style championship golf course designed by renowned architect Pete Dye and located at Purdue University's Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex in Indiana. The par-72 course features large bent-grass greens, fairways, and tees, with the championship tees playing 7,400 yards and forward tees at 5,300 yards. Five sets of tees accommodate golfers of all abilities.

The course presents substantial challenges through strategically placed waste bunkers, native grasslands, man-made wetlands, and a natural celery bog. Notable characteristics include large greens—some exceeding 40 yards—and bunkers surrounding nearly every green. The par-5s are particularly demanding, with three holes measuring over 600 yards.

Kampen-Cosler is rated among the top collegiate courses in America and ranked as one of Indiana's most difficult courses. It has hosted prestigious tournaments including the 2008 Men's NCAA Championship, 2003 Women's NCAA Championship, 2000 Men's Big Ten Championship, and 2004 Indiana Open, among many others. The course is named after Emerson Kampen in recognition of his support for Purdue Athletics. Pete Dye's design uniquely serves as both a championship venue and educational classroom for Purdue students.
