Visit Indiana Golf is highlighting the best 18 golf holes from 18 different public golf courses across the Hoosier State. Hole 14 of Indiana’s Signature 18 can be found on The Pfau Course at Indiana University. It officially opened to the public in 2020!
After about 2 and 1/2 years of developing the Pfau Course, it's now ready! The new course is located on the same land as the old IU Championship Golf Course. Designed by highly acclaimed architect Steve Smyers and two-time major winner and Hoosier native Fuzzy Zoeller, it offers a unique, world-class layout set in the natural beauty of southern Indiana.

The "eyebrow" bunkers on the 14th hole are part of 147 throughout the entire course.[/caption]
Each hole of the course totally differs from the prior layout. There's a woodland feel on the front nine with Scottish link elements on the back nine. It plays as a par-71 from a maximum of 7,908 yards and a minimum of 4,586 yards. Almost 150 eye-catching bunkers turn Pfau into a unique golfing experience!
Featuring a state-of-the-art massive short game practice area and two driving range spots, the Pfau Course also offers the finest practice facilities in the area to develop your game. IU's men's and women's golf teams will use the course, but it's open to the public.

Hole 14 on The Pfau Course at Indiana University.[/caption]
The 14th hole at The Pfau Course can play anywhere from 268 yards to 459 yards. Smyers designed a sharp dogleg right with ten deep bunkers that guard the right side of the fairway. From the forward tees, this hole can play as a risk-reward drivable hole. From the back tees, it’s a strong par 4 that begins with a daunting tee shot, and there’s no shame in recording a bogey-5 from this position.
