 The University Club's 18 hole championship golf course has a layout that is open. Jim Lipe, the course architect took advantage of 300 beautiful acres bordering protected wetlands to create a challenging and attractive layout. The fairways are generous, aided by the intermediate cut between the fairways and the rough. Long hitters will appreciate the monsterous #3 hole, a 620 yard, par 5. Although the hole is very long, there is a saving grace-a prevailing wind at the golfer's back. This is a course that will require golfers to use every club in the bag.

 The University Club has recently installed a state of the art GPS system in the club's new fleet of golf carts. The Parview Global Positioning System uses satellite transmissions to provide golfers with graphic hole and green overviews, exact distancing to fairway hazards and landmarks, pin placement, an elapsed timer to monitor pace of play, scoring, a live tournament leader board, weather and safety messaging, two-way communication, and food and beverage ordering - all brought directly to the golfer via the high resolution color monitor mounted in the golf cart. The addition of GPS is further indication of the University Club's commitment to excellence in service and facilities to the membership.
