About this course

Warren Golf Course, steeped in Notre Dame tradition, presents a formidable challenge within the rolling landscape of South Bend. Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw in the classic, minimalist style, the course embraces the natural contours of the Indiana terrain, demanding strategic play rather than brute force. Favoring those who can shape shots, it weaves through native grasses and subtly contoured greens, punishing errant approaches. The Warren notably hosted the 2019 U.S. Senior Open, a testament to its championship caliber and playability for both professionals and amateurs. While not commanding global recognition, it stands as a highly respected and challenging course in the Midwest. Beyond the course, the Warren's clubhouse serves as a hub for Notre Dame alumni, faculty, and golf enthusiasts. It is known for its collegiate spirit and the informal tradition of post-round gatherings on the patio, where stories of heroic shots and near misses mingle with the echoes of the Fighting Irish spirit. A course that rewards course management and is a reflection of Notre Dame's commitment to excellence both on and off the field.

Getting there

The journey to Warren Golf Course begins at South Bend Regional Airport (SBN), a modest but well-connected hub situated roughly twenty minutes north of the course, or alternatively at the larger Indianapolis International Airport (IND), which anchors a ninety-minute drive through the rolling farmland of north-central Indiana. From either arrival point, the approach winds through the distinctive landscape of Michiana - a patchwork of cornfields and small towns that gradually gives way to the manicured grounds of the University of Notre Dame's campus. The final miles traverse quiet, tree-lined roads that lead directly onto the university grounds, where Warren Golf Course sits as one of the most private and exclusive layouts in the Midwest, accessible only to members and their guests and reserved almost entirely for the Notre Dame community. This understated arrival - eschewing the fanfare of resort destinations - befits the course's singular character as an intimate, members-only sanctuary nestled within one of America's most storied academic campuses.
