History

Under legendary head coach Mike Griffin, the Trojan men were one of the most dominant golf teams in the NCAA, winning two Division II national championships and also finishing as a runner-up. In total, the Trojan men have won three NCAA Division II national championships in 1976, 1977, and 1984. They also finished once as runner-up in 1978, 1983, and 1992. From 1975 to 1993, the Trojan men's golf team made 19-straight appearances in the NCAA Division II Golf Championships. The Trojan women's golf team also saw a lot of success in that period, as they won three different national championships in 1984, 1986, and 1989.

Trojan Oaks Golf Complex

The Trojans golf team's home practice course is the Trojan Oaks Practice Course, located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The facility, which underwent a $1.5 million renovation in 2013, used 40 acres of the original Trojan Oaks Golf Course and created a 9-hole, par-34 practice course plus state-of-the-art putting and chipping greens, a wedge practice area, a full driving range, and a new golf clubhouse.
