Endicott Athletics Announces Addition of Women's Golf Program
BEVERLY, Mass. – Endicott College Assistant Vice President and Director of Athletics Brian A. Wylie, Ph.D., has announced the addition of women's golf as an NCAA Division III sport beginning in the fall of 2026. The women's golf team will compete at the exclusive Golf Club at Turner Hill in Ipswich, Mass.
The program will also utilize the newly renovated Foresight Sports Golf Simulator room, designed specifically for our men's and women's golf programs. The golf simulator room, located in the Post Center, doubles as a locker room and meeting space for each of the programs.
"We are thrilled to announce the addition of women's golf as an NCAA program here at Endicott. This is an exciting and meaningful step forward with a continued commitment to expanding opportunities for female student-athletes to compete at the highest collegiate level, and at a course like Turner Hill, which I personally think is one of the best in New England," said Wylie. "The addition of women's golf not only strengthens our existing athletic offerings, but also enhances our campus community by attracting talented, driven, young women who will excel both in the classroom and on the golf course."
With the addition of women's golf, Endicott has expanded its offering of NCAA Division III intercollegiate athletic programs to 22 total.
Women's golf is the first addition to Endicott's NCAA Division III sports offerings since women's track & field was sponsored in 2017-18.
Endicott will become the seventh Conference of New England (CNE) member to offer women's golf, joining Gordon, Hartford, Nichols, Roger Williams, Suffolk, and the University of New England.
The CNE Women's Golf Championship is held annually in the fall.
Endicott will conduct a national search for its inaugural head coach, who will recruit student-athletes for the inaugural 2026 season.
Prospective student-athletes interested in competing as a member of Endicott's varsity women's golf team can contact Jodi Kenyon, Associate Athletic Director / Senior Woman Administrator, at jkenyon@endicott.edu for further information. Prospective student-athletes are also encouraged to fill out the program's recruiting questionnaire.
