Champions Café Upgraded to Micro-Market

We are excited to announce that Champions Café has been upgraded to a new self-serve micro-market concept. Micro-markets are on the leading edge of today’s food service trends for colleges and universities across the nation. With its self-serve technology, the location is able to continuously stay open allowing you to purchase food anytime the Golf Course is operating.
 
The micro-market design allows us to offer you more food items, including:

• Hot and cold beverages
• Grab-and go sandwiches, salads, hamburgers, and pizza
• Snacks and pastries
• Fresh-brewed coffee
• And more!

Micro-markets also promote contactless payments by accepting mobile transactions such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. The cashless location also accepts Paw Points and credit/debit cards.
