Bloomington, Indiana – Golf Magazine has recognized The Pfau Course at Indiana University as not only one of the premier golf courses in North America, but one of the most affordable as well.
Last week, Golf Magazine tabbed Indiana University's new home golf course as one of the Top 100 Courses You Can Play in North America, placing it 85th on the list. It was the latest honor for the one-year-old course, which was one of only three courses in the state of Indiana to make Golf Magazine's highly-anticipated and prestigious list.
Earlier this week, the magazine recognized the Pfau Course again, this time as one of the 11 most affordable courses that you can play on that top 100 list. The 11 courses identified were the only ones where the general public, max peak-season rate is less than $100.
"Two of our primary goals when we built this course was to create a top-flight, championship level public golf course that was also reasonably priced for IU students and the general public," IU Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Scott Dolson said. "That's what makes these types of honors so meaningful and rewarding. I applaud the tremendous job that Steve Smyers and Fuzzy Zoeller did in designing the course, and the great work of Greg Bishop, Jimmy St. John, Anthony Robertson, Sherry Weber and the entire Pfau Course staff do on a daily basis."
Here's what Golf Magazine had to say about The Pfau Course at Indiana University:
"A bright spot for Midwest golfers last year came in the form of this course opening on IU's Bloomington campus. Rave reviews quickly followed for a design that features tree-lined fairways on the more secluded front side and a wide-open feel on the back. Named for a major donor to the project, the course can extend to a meaty 7,908 yards (leave that for the college team!), but every green, save the 18th, accepts run-up shots. There are nearly 150 bunkers — the sharp dogleg-right 14th, the shortest par-4 on the course, has 10 alone on the right side of fairway — but architect Steve Smyers gives you a respite on the sand-free par-4 5th and 6th."
