Birck Boilermaker (Kampen)
The Kampen course at the 36-hole Purdue University Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex was known as the North course when it debuted in 1996.
A Pete Dye design, the Kampen (named in honor of Purdue supporter, Emerson Kampen) is one of the nation’s top collegiate courses, which measures more than 7,400 yards from the tips. It has hosted a number of important tournaments down the years, including the 2004 Indiana Open, won by Purdue University’s Lee Williamson, who now plays on the Web.com Tour.
The facility’s second course, the South, was originally fashioned by Bill Diddel in 1934 and was later renamed Ackerman Hills before undergoing a complete remodel by Pete Dye in 2016 – the new course was re-branded Ackerman-Allen upon reopening.
