About Us
Our club team competes in the National Collegiate Club Golf Association (NCCGA) and plays in 2-3 NCCGA tournaments per semester. Our region is comprised with the likes of UVA, Virginia Tech, VMI, Longwood, Roanoke College, and other Virginia universities.
Team size varies each year. On average, there are 30-50 members on the team who all play, practice, and socialize together.
How to Join
Tryouts to make the team are held every fall, usually the first weekend of September. Format of tryouts may vary each year depending on number of students interested and other logistics. However, everybody will play at least one 18-hole round.
Time Commitment
Once on the team, each member must qualify to travel to the regional and national tournaments. This qualifying process includes playing 18 holes when the player is able to and then playing in a mandatory 18 hole, tournament style, qualifying round. The top 8 players will travel to the tournament. For those who do not qualify for tournaments throughout the semesters, there will be a few different “in-house” weekend tournaments held at the team’s home course.
Our home course is Heritage Oaks Golf Course, located approximately 10 minutes from JMU’s campus. In regard to practice, there are no mandatory practice times, but members of the team are usually found playing and practicing together throughout the week. As mentioned, there are a few "in-house" weekend tournaments held at Heritage Oaks where the team can stay in the competitive mindset while still having fun. These tournaments include different formats such as 4-person scramble, skins, Ryder Cup, and others.
Dues
Dues vary with each semester but are usually $200 per semester. Dues include funding for NCCGA tournaments, club merch, social events and 1-2 “in house" tournaments.
Awards, Recognition and Championships
Recent success has included bids to the NCCGA National Championship in New Jersey and South Carolina as well as winning a regional tournament in Williamsburg, VA.
