Program History:

In the fall of 2003, Louisburg College instituted its first women’s golf team. Since that fall, the team has grown into a solid program with members from North Carolina, Virginia and Texas. The team competes in numerous tournaments and receives plenty of year-round competition. The team practices and hosts matches at Bull Creek Country Club in Louisburg, NC. For maximum exposure, many of the matches and tournaments will be in conjunction with junior and senior colleges and universities. Team recruitment will be both state and nation wide. The women’s golf team holds tryouts in the fall and spring; interested student-athletes should contact the women’s golf coach.
