History

History: The earliest available records indicate that Wartburg’s golf program began around 1949. It began as a men’s team and eventually included a women’s team in the 1970’s along with many other sports at Wartburg. Highlights include 11-time NCAA Division III women’s team national tournament qualifiers (2005-06 and 2008-16), 11-time women’s Iowa Conference team champions, and six-time men’s Iowa Conference team champions.
