Program Overview

Philosophy: Just like the game itself, the golf program at North Carolina Wesleyan College is about shooting for improvement, one stroke at a time. How the golf program shoots for excellence is through the recruitment of stellar student athletes while continuing the search for improved training and playing opportunities.

Those who play golf, especially on a very competitive level, understand the importance of hard work, time management, and a desire for excellence.  Golfers at NC Wesleyan will be challenged both on the course and in the classroom, for in both arenas, life lessons will be taught and learned.

Though winning will be a goal for all, it will never replace the objective of maintaining a high level of sportsmanship, placing an emphasis on personal character, and recognizing the importance of teamwork.

Schedule: The Bishops play a year-round schedule and train for the full 21 weeks allotted by NCAA regulation. Wesleyan travels to an average of three tournaments during its non-traditional fall season and roughly five during the traditional spring season. Our golf schedule culminates with the prestigious USA South Conference Tournament in late April, while our regular season slate pits the Battling Bishops against top Division I, II, and III opponents throughout the year.

The USA South Conference is considered to be the strongest D-III conference in the nation and contains NC Wesleyan, Methodist, Christopher Newport, Greensboro, Ferrum, Shenandoah, and Averett. The NCAA Division III Championship has been won by a USA South Conference team 11 times since 1990.
