HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Miller Auditorium

Located at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the James W. Miller Auditorium is a performing arts center. This theatre building opened on January 12, 1968, and serves as a performance venue for the campus and the city. During the opening ceremony, the university's third president, James W. Miller, was in attendance. The auditorium was later renamed in his honor to recognize his role at the institution. I've found that the wide plazas around these university buildings make for a very smooth roll if you're banking your ball toward the entrance. It is a prominent spot for the arts in this part of town, whether you are visiting for a show or just passing through on your way to another campus landmark. Keep an eye on the curbs as you approach the venue.

Waldo Stadium

You will first notice the massive scale of Waldo Stadium, a football stadium in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It is a significant local landmark with a seating capacity of 30,200 spectators. The stadium's inception was in 1939, and it has served as the home of Western Michigan University Broncos football as a complete stadium since that same year. If you look closer at the history of the grounds, you can find that the Broncos football team actually used the site in a rudimentary form as early as 1914. I've seen plenty of folks get lost in the crowd here during a big game, so keep your eyes peeled for the exit signs. It is a great spot to see how the city supports its athletes and students through the seasons.

Kalamazoo Institute of Arts

Let me show you the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts. Located in Kalamazoo, Michigan, this art museum was founded in 1924. While many visitors come to see the curated collections, the site also functions as a school where people can study the arts. It is operated as a nonprofit organization, which means its primary focus remains on public service and education rather than profit. It is a central part of the local culture in the United States, offering a space for both viewing and creating art. I've noticed it is a great spot to slow down and appreciate some creativity while you are exploring the city. Whether you are an art enthusiast or just passing through, it is a landmark that balances its role as a museum and an educational center for the public.

Kalamazoo Valley Museum

Let me show you the Kalamazoo Valley Museum. This museum was founded in 1881 and has grown over the years into a center for science, technology, and history. It is now operated by Kalamazoo Valley Community College, which ensures the community has a dedicated place to explore these subjects. You can pick out a variety of exhibits here without worrying about the cost, as admission to the facility is free for everyone who walks through the doors. I've noticed that the free entry makes it a welcoming spot for people from all walks of life to spend an afternoon learning about the region. It is a great way to see how the city has evolved since the museum first opened its doors long ago.

The New Vic Theatre

This isn't a cinema or a concert hall. Instead, the New Vic Theatre is a theatre troupe based here in Kalamazoo. For anyone visiting the city, it is a primary spot to see live acting and stage productions. I always think the energy of a live troupe is a great way to spend an evening in town.
