About

The Spring 2018 National Championship is headed to Norwood Hills Country Club, where 224 of the top club golfers across the country will compete on the East & West Courses. These private courses rank as some of the best in the state of Missouri having hosted the PGA Championship, US Senior Amateur, and this year's Women's Mid-Amateur.

The championship will feature 27 of the best club golf teams, as well as 8 individuals representing their schools. The tournament will be a 2-day, 36-hole stroke play event. As co-champions of the Fall 2017 National Championship, Arizona State University and the University of Minnesota have automatic bids to this season's Championship; along with Clemson University who took home the inaugural National Invitational trophy. Who will emerge on top this season in St. Louis? Only time will tell.

The National Championship highlights firsthand how much passion there is for #clubgolf. Learn about past National Champions here.
