About
The Spring 2019 National Championship brings the best club golf teams from across the country to compete for the title and the medalist red jacket. The Birck Boilermaker Complex on the Purdue University campus will host the event on their Kampen and Ackerman-Allen courses. Both courses are ranked as some of the best in the state of Indiana.
The National Championship is a 2-day, 36-hole stroke play event. As champions of the Fall 2018 National Invitational, University of Nebraska has an automatic bid to this season's Championship. The rest of the field will be filled using our zone-based qualifying procedure. On the same weekend, The Trophy Club in Lebanon, IN will host the National Invitational.
Why the Birck Boilermaker Complex?
The Pete Dye designed Kampen and Ackerman-Allen courses at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex are rated as some of the best college golf courses in the entire country. According to Golfweek, both of Purdue's courses rank in the top 25 joining Michigan as the only other school that can claim that feat. The courses have hosted numerous collegiate events including multiple Big Ten Championships and the NCAA Men's National Championship.
