The the Kampen Course is an exciting layout designed and built by Pete Dye along with Purdue students and course superintendent Jim Scott and staff.

Kampen has been the host site for the Men's and Women's Big Ten Golf Championships, NCAA Women's Golf Championships, NCAA Men's Golf Central Regional Championships, and NCAA Men's Golf Championships! The Kampen Course has earned acclaim as one of Indiana's premier public courses, as well as one of the nation's leading collegiate golf courses.

The Kampen Course also acts as a living research area for Purdue students with a surrounding natural celery bog and with environmentally sensitive created wetlands. Pete Dye's characteristics are shown in the large greens with mild undulation and subtle breaks, along with thick bluegrass rough and fescue waste areas, which, while varying in size, tend to be accommodating.
