The IU course needs work to get up to the standards of the California Penal League never mind the Big 10. If that bit about Dye is true, I'm extremely disappointed.
Andy,
I agree with you completely. It was the worst course I played in college golf. My coach joked that is was the only place you wanted to hit the ball past the hole. "If you had a downhill putt, you had a chance to get it to the hole."
Are you a Hoosier?
I am, and I've played it many, many times. When did you play it? For a while the Men's team wasn't using it for competitions. The greens have been plenty fast for a while now. The greens have a lot of slope (although they're a bit one dimensional). The design is obviously quite homespun, but I don't mind that, and there are some good holes. But, they haven't been able to get any grass on about half the course for a few years now. My conditioning standards are very low, but it's just been horrid out there for years. I can't imagine how they try to woo prospects on that course, although the new team only practice area is nice enough.
