College golf programs in Illinois.
Illinois is one of the deepest college golf states in the Tessaira directory. We list 42 programs here: 21 at NCAA Division I, 5 at Division II, and 16 at Division III. Between them that is 14 men's and 28 women's teams, playing in conferences led by College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin, St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, and Big Ten.
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.
