The Pfau Golf Course at Indiana University: A StunningMasterpiece Are you searching for a golf experience that will take your breath away? If so, head to the new championship golf course at Indiana University in Bloomington. The original golf course at IU opened in 1955, but the property was recently completely re-designed by highly acclaimed golf course architect Steve Smyers with assistance from Indiana’s golfing legend Fuzzy Zoeller. Smyers’ resume includes work on 90 golf courses, on six different continents. Former Masters Champion, Zoeller successfully designed Covered Bridge Golf Club in Sellersburg and Champions Pointe Golf Club in Henryville. “We built a brand new golf course, which has nothing in common with the original,” said Smyers. “Indiana University gave me a free hand. We built the golf course tomatch and complement the patterns of the existing landscape. It’s a beautiful piece of property.” To recognize the support for this project from Ned and Sue Pfau, it was named The Pfau Golf Course at Indiana University. By Mike May
