University Ridge Golf Course is a public golf course located in Verona and Madison, Wisconsin. It is the home course to both the men's and women's golf teams for the University of Wisconsin. Also, since 1994, it has been home to both the boys' and girls' WIAA state golf championships for all divisions. The Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course is also located on the property. ==History== University Ridge was designed to be the home course of the men's and women's golf teams for the University of Wisconsin. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. and was finished in 1991. In 1994, it also become home to both the boys' and girls' WIAA state golf championships for all divisions. Through 2008, the black tees (then the gold tees), measured only 6888 yards. Other than holes 1, 8, 13, and 18, all holes had new tee boxes built for the then gold tees. In many cases when the holes were extended, the blue tees were moved to where the former gold tees were, and the white tees moved to where the blue tees used to stand. In fact, the blue tees used to measure 6429 yards, and the white tees measured 5853 yards. The red tees, however, have always stood where they do today. On August 7, 2012, University Ridge began their "20-Year Tune Up" project. All eighteen greens were burned and resurfaced, which temporarily closed the course. However, the practice facility remained open during the project. A result of the 20-Year Tune Up was the addition of a new set of tees, the green tees. The green tees are now set up between the blue tees and white tees. On June 1, 2015, PGA Tour golfer and Wisconsin native Steve Stricker announced that he will be hosting the American Family Insurance Championship, an event on the Champions Tour, which will take place between June 22 and June 26, 2016 at University Ridge. The first two days will be a pro-am event, and the last three days will be the event itself with a no-cut format.() 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University Ridge Golf Course」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
