COLLEGE GOLF
College golf in the USA – at the right level for you
We find the program that fits you and drive the recruiting process together with you and your family.
DIFFERENT PATHS TO COLLEGE GOLF
There's room for more players than you might think
Schools vary widely – in golf and in academics. Some Division II teams play better golf than Division I teams. That means there are college golf opportunities at many levels, and finding the right fit matters more than the division.
FOUR THINGS THAT MATTER
Your golf level
Where your game fits. There are teams for everyone from elite players to those still developing.
Your grades
Strong grades open more doors, qualify you for academic scholarships and make you more attractive to coaches.
The team's needs
Coaches recruit for different needs each year. At a school where you'd be a key player, you'll often get more playing time – and a better scholarship.
Staying in touch with coaches
Coaches want to see real interest. Reach out more than once and keep them updated on your results and grades – we help you do it.
Powerhouse programs
SEC, ACC, Big Ten and Big 12. The highest level and the toughest competition for roster spots.
Strong Division I programs
Strong schools outside the major conferences. A high level of play, with a better chance of a key role.
Academic elite
Ivy League and similar schools, where grades carry the most weight. The Ivy League does not offer athletic scholarships.
Top of Division II
The best Division II schools often play better golf than many Division I teams.
NAIA
Smaller schools that offer athletic scholarships – a good option for strong players and for those still developing.
Division III and junior college
Division III if academics come first. Junior college as a starting point, with the option to transfer to a four-year school.
The divisions at a glance

HOW WE WORK
We do more than find you a college
Recruiting can take one to two years, so we recommend starting around age 15–16. Throughout that time we're actively working for you – from the first conversation until you arrive on campus.
-
01
We get to know you
We meet you and your family, in person or online.
- Golf, grades and your goals
- What matters most to you – golf, academics and budget

02
We build your player profile
Coaches get a lot of emails. Your profile has to give them what they need – fast.
- Tournament results, grades and highlight video
- Introduction letter and references

- Follow-up with every coach, and updates as your game improves
-
04
We prepare and plan
When a coach shows interest, we set up the conversation – and get you ready for it.
- Preparation for calls with coaches
- A timeline for tests, grades and registrations in the BSA Guide
-
05
All the way to the USA
When offers come in, we help your family see the full picture.
- Comparing offers, total cost and scholarships
- Applications, visa and pre-departure prep
The BSA Guide – the whole process in one place
You get your own digital folder, organized in the order of the recruiting process. You don't need to know everything up front – it's all there when you need it.
- A shared to-do list, so no deadline slips through
- Templates and examples for every step
- Step-by-step instructions for tests and registrations
- Mock interviews before your real coach calls
We talk to both coaches and admissions offices, and make sure your academic record is presented correctly.
What parents say
Fredrik handled everything thoroughly and professionally – reassuring, creative and always available. We couldn't have asked for better support.
You're amazing, Fredrik! Thank you for everything you've done.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
Transparent from day one
College costs vary widely, and most scholarships cover only part of them. We help you compare the total cost before you decide.
Two payments
Already playing college golf?
If you want to move to a stronger golf program or a school with a higher academic profile, we can help you transfer.
Your college journey starts here
The first meeting is free. We'll look at where you are today and which opportunities are realistic. We can't promise an offer – but we do promise honest, thorough work every step of the way.
