Burke Golf Course

Burke Golf Course serves as the home course for the University of Notre Dame's golf programs, located on the university's campus in Notre Dame, Indiana. The course has been part of the Notre Dame athletic tradition since the mid-20th century, providing a practice and competition venue for the Fighting Irish men's and women's golf teams while also accommodating faculty, staff, and student recreational play. The layout occupies relatively flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of northern Indiana, with mature tree-lined fairways that frame the holes and require accuracy from the tee. The course features a traditional parkland design that reflects its era of construction, with straightforward hole corridors and greens that demand solid approach play. Water comes into play on several holes, adding strategic considerations to club selection and shot placement. Burke Golf Course hosts various collegiate tournaments and serves as a competitive venue within the region. The facility operates within the university's recreational sports framework, maintaining a connection to Notre Dame's broader athletic identity. The course provides a practical setting for collegiate competition while remaining accessible to the campus community, balancing its dual roles as both a competitive venue and a recreational amenity. Its location within the university grounds gives it a distinct campus character, with views of Notre Dame's architectural landmarks visible from certain points on the property.
