College golf programs in Iowa.
The Tessaira directory lists 17 college golf programs in Iowa: 7 at NCAA Division I, 1 at Division II, and 9 at Division III. That works out to 3 men's and 14 women's teams, competing in conferences that include American Rivers Conference, Big 12, and Missouri Valley.
These are verified programs in our directory rather than a full census. We are still adding NCAA Division II and III women's teams and NAIA and NJCAA programs, so a Iowa school in one of those categories may not be listed yet.
