The NCAA allows each division 1 men's golf program 4.5 scholarships and in division 2, 3.6 are available. For women there are 6 scholarships available in division 1 and 5.4 in division 2.
As a high school golfer you should be aware that the standard of play at college level is very high. I would recommend that you watch a few rounds to gauge the actual standard of the game. Remember that only the absolute top players will be approached with offers of golf scholarships.
Most golfers will have to market themselves. You can try to do this yourself or use our CGB Student Athlete Marketing Service.
IMPORTANT: You are not breaching any NCAA or NAIA rules by using CollegeBoundGolfers.com
How to get recruited and play college golf.
CBG Student Athlete Marketing Service can help you when applying for college golf scholarships. You might consider yourself to be the best golfer in the world but to get recruited and be in line for a golf scholarship you need to tell the college golf coaches who you are and why you deserve to be recruited. COACHES CANNOT RECRUIT YOU IF THEY DON'T KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE.
Not all athletic scholarships are a full ride like football and basketball; so called "head count sports", most are classed as "equivalency sports", like golf. This means that coaches can "share" their allocation between a larger number of players.
There are 289 division 1 and 186 division 2 colleges that offer men's golf scholarships and for women there are 217 division 1 and 90 division 2 colleges that offer scholarships.
That's a total of 1,970.1 men's golf scholarships available in the NCAA alone. For women's golf the total number on offer in the NCAA is 1,788.
The process of finding and contacting coaches and dealing with the ruses and regulations enforced by the NCAA and NAIA is quite a daunting process for both athletes and parents. The use of our CBG Student Athlete Marketing Service is a must for all athletes who are serious about playing golf at college level.
Many fine young athletes are overlooked each year because they didn't submit their athletic profile to the "right" colleges or left out vital information. It's also a fact that many colleges simply don't allocate all of their golf recruiting funds because "suitable" athletes didn't approach them.
