NEW YORK, NY—As part of its second annual College Golf Guide, Golf Digest ranks the NCAA’s best colleges for golf in its September issue (on newsstands August 8). Defending Atlantic Sun champion Campbell placed 41st on the prestigious list.

The rankings and College Golf Guide package provides a blueprint for high school students with dreams of playing golf in college and professionally (“Golf First” ranking), as well as students focused on education who still desire to play competitive golf (“Academics First” ranking).

“Our purpose with the College Golf Guide is to promote the idea of playing golf during the college years,” said Jerry Tarde, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Golf Digest. “Technology today has given students the ability to have complete control over the college search process, and for the 225,000 boys and girls playing high school golf, our guide offers a crash course in getting started.”

The Camels have claimed seven of the last 11 A-Sun women's golf championships and features A-Sun Player of the Year Alejandra Shaw.

Five criteria form the basis of the rankings: a college golf team’s adjusted scoring average, player growth while on the team, academics, climate and coaches/facilities.
