College golf programs in Illinois.
The Tessaira directory lists 23 college golf programs in Illinois: 21 at NCAA Division I, 1 at Division II, and 1 at Division III. That works out to 14 men's and 9 women's teams, competing in conferences that include Big Ten, Missouri Valley, and MVC.
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 Illinois school in one of those categories may not be listed yet.
