INDIANAPOLIS – On Friday, the Indiana University Board of Trustees approved the design of the renovation project at the Indiana University Golf Course at their meeting on the campus of IUPUI. The approval clears the way for the project to move forward this fall.
"We are very appreciative of the Board of Trustees' approval, which enables the Indiana University community to have a golf course worthy of the Indiana University name," Vice President and Director of Athletics Fred Glass said. "The renovation will improve the environmental impact and sustainability of the golf course, enhance its economic viability, preserve its public accessibility, and provide a first-class course for our varsity teams to practice and compete on."
The redesigned golf course, which will include a new clubhouse and driving range, will feature new hole layouts that challenge beginning through advanced golfers. The course also will be revitalized by returning part of the current course to native landscape, including the addition of about 70 acres of new trees, shrubs and other plantings to replace and augment dead or diseased trees. Golfers will be able to choose from several tee box locations and the greens will be designed for the approach shots of many skill levels. The par 71 course has a maximum yardage of about 7,700 yards and a minimum of about 4,500 yards, depending upon the tee location selected.

"We could not be more excited and thankful about today's approval," said Indiana Men's Golf head coach Mike Mayer. "There are numerous people that have put many long hours into this process to this point and we cannot thank them enough. This course will be a game-changer for Indiana University and our program."
The new clubhouse with cart storage and an attached outdoor covered pavilion will be located near the Indiana University Foundation, along with the driving range. The clubhouse will include visual references to the campus including stone accents and an exterior clock with details reminiscent of the Frances Morgan Swain Student Building tower clock. The interior will include a golf shop, Alumni Hall, space to showcase the history of IU Golf, casual dining and snack bar, and public restrooms/locker rooms.
"On behalf of the Indiana Women's Golf program, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude to everyone involved in making the renovation of the IU Golf Course happen," Indiana Women's Golf head coach Clint Wallman said. "The improvements being made to the course will be top notch and we are looking forward to its completion."
The course is expected to open for play in Spring 2019 (subject to change).
