The Bruins golf team is excited to get back on the course as the team announced the schedule for their
2026 Spring season.
The Bruins will compete in five tournaments over the course of the Spring as the team looks to build on momentum from the fall season. The team completed well in the fall across eight tournaments including the NCCAA National Championship in Palm Coast, Florida.
The Spring season opens at home on February 17 with a singles match play exhibition against Montreat College at the Greer Golf Club.
"We are happy to open the season again with an exhibition match competing with Montreat College," said Head Coach Denny Scott. "We have been doing this for a few years, and it has become a great partnership in competition to begin the season. It involves a match play format with each golfer paired in a singles match with a golfer from the opposing team. This gives golfers the opportunity to sharpen their skills in preparing for stroke-play tournaments later in the Spring. Some strong relationships have been built using this format where the team members learn to strive together in competition while have an iron-sharpening-iron experience."
The next week the team will make the trip to Gaffney, South Carolina to participate in the Pioneers Spring Invitational hosted by Spartanburg Methodist College.
Coach Scott said," we look forward to returning to the Spartanburg Methodist tournament at Cherokee National Golf Club. We competed there for the first time back in the fall season and fell short of our goals in that event. I know the team is looking forward to the chance to rise to the challenge and improve our results at that specific golf course and that specific tournament again this Spring. It is a strong field and a challenging golf course.
In March, the golf team will compete in two tournaments. March 2-3 will see the Bruins in Gainseville, Georgia. The team will wrap up the month in Travelers Rest, South Carolina at the Trailblazer Spring Invitational hosted by North Greenville University at the Cherokee Valley Golf Course.
"The Golden Tiger Invitational and the Trailblazer Spring Invitational are tournaments we have consistently enjoyed in the Spring season," said Scott. "These golf courses are fun to play and the levels of competition are very beneficial for us in pursuing the goals for our program."
"The highlight of the Spring season for us is always the Competitor's Cup," said Scott. "After maintaining the cup for three years (2022, 2023, and 2024), we lost it to Columbia International University last year when they hosted it in Columbia, South Carolina last April. This year we will be hosting it at Greer Golf Club and hope to bring the cup back home as we wrap up the Spring season."
