The Course – University Ridge GC (Par 72, 7286 yards): The University Ridge Golf Course is a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design and opened in 1991. University Ridge derives its name from the landscape features left by the last retreating glacier. The course sits on the terminal moraine, where the Wisconsin Glacier stopped, forming the backbone of the ridge that separates the land into groups of rolling hills and valleys. The natural ridge dictated course construction and the designers followed the contours of the land to create a natural setting that overlooks the City of Madison. The wide-open front nine rolls through a preserved prairie and marshland, while the first six holes of the back nine are cut out of a dense Wisconsin woodland. The course opens up again at the 554-yard signature 16th hole, which features 3 fairways and 12 bunkers. The 18th is the perfect finishing hole as a climb of 182 feet between woodland and prairie is required to complete the 443-yard par 4. University Ridge has hosted the 2016-2022 PGA TOUR Champions American Family Championship, the 2018 NCAA Women's Regional and 1998 NCAA Women's Championship.
