Beginning in 2016, Steve Stricker, a Wisconsin native, has hosted an event on the PGA Tour Champions every June at University Ridge.

All eighteen greens were burned and resurfaced, which temporarily closed the course, but the practice facility remained open during the project.

On June 1, 2015, PGA Tour player and Wisconsin native Steve Stricker announced that he will be hosting the American Family Insurance Championship in 2016, a new event on the PGA Tour Champions, in late June at University Ridge.

[3] Kirk Triplett was the event's inaugural winner in 2016; Fred Couples and Scott McCarron won in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

The first hole at University Ridge (named Verona) is a par 4 that measures 396 yards from the back tees.

A carry over a rocky creek and bunkers leaves players with a great chance of reaching the green in two.

The safe play is to the wider part of the fairway, followed by a layup, and then a downhill approach over a depression to a small green, protected by numerous bunkers and a large tree short left.

This par 5 measures 623 yards from the back tees, making it the longest hole on the golf course.

The ninth hole (Hedgerow) is an uphill, double dogleg par 5 playing to 587 yards from the back tees.

The landing area is protected on the left side by a row of trees and on the right by 3 large bunkers.

The twelfth hole (Dropshot) is a significantly downhill par 3, playing 200 yards from the back tees.

A number of bunkers around the green require players to hit an accurate, slightly downhill, approach.

University Ridge's signature hole measures 554 yards from the back tees and begins a great three-hole finishing stretch.

The eighteenth hole at University Ridge (Capitol Climb) is an uphill dogleg left par 4.

This hole, which measures 440 yards from the back tees, is flanked by trees all along its right side, as well as thick grass to the left.

A total of 3 bunkers borders the left side of the landing zone, giving players a difficult tee shot.
