Frequently Asked Questions
How many colleges have golf programs?
There are over 2,100 college golf programs in the United States across men's and women's divisions. Men's programs total over 1,100 schools and women's programs total nearly 1,000 schools, spanning NCAA Division 1, Division 2, Division 3, NAIA, and JUCO (junior college) levels.
What is the difference between D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO golf?
NCAA Division 1 schools are typically larger universities offering athletic scholarships with the highest level of competition. Division 2 schools also offer scholarships but at a smaller scale. Division 3 schools do not offer athletic scholarships. NAIA is a separate governing body from the NCAA with its own championships. JUCO (junior colleges) are two-year programs that often serve as a pathway to four-year university golf programs.

For women's golf, D1 programs have 6 scholarships and D2 programs have 5.4. Division 3 and some NAIA programs may offer academic scholarships but not athletic scholarships.

Women's college golf has grown significantly, with nearly 1,000 programs across all divisions. While men's programs slightly outnumber women's, women's D1 programs actually offer more scholarships per team (6 vs 4.5).
