Golf in Lafayette

Lafayette is the Tippecanoe County seat and the commercial half of a twin-city metro completed by West Lafayette across the Wabash River — the side where Purdue University sits. The two cities share an economy built around engineering, agriculture, and the industries that cluster around a major land-grant university. The Wabash River defines the local geography, cutting the metro in half and providing the river valley terrain that distinguishes this corner of west-central Indiana from the flat prairie further north. Lafayette itself is older and more industrial in character; West Lafayette carries the university energy. One course anchors the Lafayette side, with additional facilities spread through Tippecanoe County.
