Notre Dame's Warren Golf Course was recently chosen as one of the top 15 college courses in the nation, according to a feature article in the September 2005 issue of Golf Digest. In addition, the University is currently in the process of constructing the Robert and Marilyn Rolfs Family All-Season Varsity Golf Facility, a state-of-the- art indoor golf complex that will be used by both the men’s and women’s teams. The facility will be located on the grounds of the Warren Golf Course.

The fairway bunkers on the 164-yard 11th hole provide an architectural deception, in that – from the tee – the front bunkers appear to be located on the sides of the green when they, in fact, are 20 yards short of it (bunkers also are located on the sides of The northwest corner of the course showcases the green for the long, 462- the green). yard second hole with the third tee in the distance. Douglas Road intersects with Juniper Road in the background.

The 152-yard 14th is one of Ben Crenshaw’s favorite holes on the Warren Golf Course. Noted for its old-Scottish style, the hole includes an elevated green and two bunkers to the right of the green that cannot be seen from the tee (unlike those to the left of the green). The hole is even more scenic when framed by full foliage in the surrounding trees.

The view from behind the 305-yard eighth hole looks to a green that is rectangular in shape and slopes dramatically from the rear, with an open front that allows either a bump-and-run shot or one that is flown to the green.

The 15th green is located just a stone’s throw from the clubhouse, yet the building is obscured by a distinctive variety of trees that rim the putting green.

This is a look from the fairway of the 364-yard sixth hole. The green is guarded by two trees and has a narrow entrance that is protected by bunkers both left and right. The Starter’s Cottage is visible in the right side of the picture.

Above is a look from the picturesque tee at the 16th hole. Overlooking Juday Creek from the elevated tee, the hole ascends up and to the left to a tiny, undulating green that is very well protected by classic Coore- and Crenshaw-designed bunkers.

The elevated tee from the longest hole on the course, the 482-yard 17th hole, overlooks a pond to the left and the large bunkers in the bank of the hill, leading to a sharp dogleg-left approach to the green.

The finishing hole’s tee shot (above) must carry the new stretch of Juday Creek and bend left to the green. The entire left side of the 18th fairway is bordered by the bed of the former Juday Creek, which has been filled to form a new stream.

The 495-yard 10th hole is another long hole that a big hitter may try to reach in two. Watch out for the creek that runs diagonally across the entire width of the fairway in front of the green.

The eastside back porch of the clubhouse (above) overlooks the finishing holes and welcomes golfers from the nearby 18th green. The westside entrance to the clubhouse sits beyond the ninth green, which is noted for its back-to-front slope and is surrounded by deceptive and treacherous bunkering.

The ninth hole, as seen from one of the Warren Golf Course's distinctive rectangular tee boxes, is beautifully framed by trees, and the clubhouse is located behind the green.

A picturesque view from the tee box greets golfers at the dogleg-left seventh hole (373 yards), with a solitary tree adding some danger down the left side of the fairway. 2005-06 WOMEN’S GOLF 13 NCAA Sports W lose agering Contact: 317.917.6222 be Don ’ you you t b 24-Hour Confidential National Gambling Helpline: 1.800.522.4700 et o n t i t . , .

Throughout its long and proud history, the University of Notre Dame has embraced the philosophy that a well-rounded athletics program — including club, intramural and intercollegiate competition — comprises an integral part of Notre Dame’s educational mission. This philosophy reflects the importance of operating an intercollegiate athletics program that fully comports with the University’s aspirations as a Catholic institution. Notre Dame therefore dedicates itself to the pursuit of excellence in intercollegiate athletics within the framework of an academic community committed to the University’s educational and religious objectives. Notre Dame also commits itself to the unquestioned integrity of its athletics programs. All individuals involved, directly or indirectly, in the athletics enterprise must maintain and foster the values and goals associated with the University’s mission as a Catholic institution of higher education. As a Catholic university, Notre Dame espouses institutional support for student-athletes. In Basic Principles Christian values and principles.
