Welcome to Club Golf
GCU Club Golf
GCU Club Golf has two levels of participation: Regional and Academy. Our goal is to provide an out of classroom experience that students will remember for a lifetime! Instruction is available for everyone and getting out and enjoying this great game, meeting new friends and participating in a sport you can play for the rest of your life is what we are all about! The GCU Club Golf season begins in September and goes until late April.
Club Golf Regional
The Regional Team at GCU, our competitive teams, play within an organization called the National Collegiate Club Golf Association (NCCGA). Club Golf plays two regional tournaments each semester against other universities like Arizona State, The University of Arizona, The University of New Mexico and the Golf Academy of America. These regional events are qualifying events for Nationals. Currently the GCU “A” Team is the defending National Champion!
Club Golf Academy
GCU Club Golf Academy is where students participate if they are newer golfers, golfers who are not comfortable competing or for those that did not qualify for the Regional Team. We want everyone to be able to learn the game at their own pace. We have instruction available and the Academy program has all of the same benefits of the Regional team other than playing in the regional tournaments. We also will be hosting intra-squad tournaments at the GCU Golf Course twice per month. This is how you will become a better golfer. There will be different formats and prizes available at each event. Of course, none of this is mandatory, but participating is what it’s all about!
