College golf is very popular in the United States, where there are more than 1,000 colleges with men’s and women’s golf teams. In the best universities, it is not uncommon to find players who are in the top 500 of the WAGR (World Amateur Golf Ranking). The structures are very professional, with renowned coaches, physiotherapists, physical and mental trainers, and many other advantages available to athletes. However, it is important to know that not all universities are comparable in terms of golf infrastructure and facilities. This will not prevent students from enjoying their studies, while being able to practice golf daily with their teammates, and travel to regional or national competitions to represent their university.

At most universities, it is possible to combine golf and studies effectively. However, there will always be some universities that are rated higher academically and others that are better known for their golf facilities and high level of competition. Before making your final choice, it is essential to determine which is more important to you, the athletic and the academic.

The level of scholarship eligibility and the geographical area can of course also be determining factors in your final choice. Some players will aim to go professional after their university education. In this case, it will be important to find a university that has a very competitive golf team and plays in a strong league. Other players may want to use their golf skills to get into a university with a strong academic reputation, such as Harvard, Yale, or Princeton. Other universities such as Stanford, Duke, or UCLA are also highly regarded, both academically and athletically, but the budget will also be higher and it will be more difficult to meet the admission requirements. Families who cannot afford to spend a lot of money on their child will prefer universities with large scholarships, while families with a larger budget may want to consider a university with a higher golf and/or academic reputation.

Golf is a year-round sport in college, but the official NCAA/NAIA season is in the spring, which is called the “spring season”.

1. Fall Season: August-December (4-6 tournaments)
2. Spring Season: January-May (4-6 tournaments, conference tournament, national tournament if team OR player qualifies individually in the conference tournament)
