Whiffletree Hill Golf Course

Whiffletree Hill Golf Course is the site of Albion College's home cross country meets. The course has hosted numerous conference duals and championships, and served as the site of the 1989, 1993 and 1998 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III Great Lakes Regionals.

Albion College was the host institution for the meets, which annually brings together some of the finest runners from schools in three states -- Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. Conferences represented include the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association, Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, North Coast Athletic Conference, and the Ohio Athletic Conference.

Whiffletree Hill is located on M-60, approximately two miles west of Concord, Michigan, and four miles east of Homer, and six miles southeast of Albion's campus. Here are easy ways to get to the course:
