WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Tony and Vi Golding Head Coach Kim Lewellen<\/a> and Lyons Family Associate Head Coach Ryan Potter<\/a> have announced the Wake Forest women’s golf 2026-27 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wake Forest makes its return to the ANNIKA Intercollegiate this September to open the fall slate, looking to defend both team and individual titles. The Deacs make a quick turn around for the Jackson T. Stephens Cup, which takes place this year in Frisco, Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Demon Deacons round the fall schedule in October at Finley Golf Club for the Ruth’s Chris Intercollegiate, followed by the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, N.C.<\/p>\n

In January, Deacs will go international for the Collegiate Invitational in Guadalajara, Mexico. They’ll resume stateside tournaments at the Moon Golf Invitational on Feb. 14 at Suntree C.C.<\/p>\n

March marks an action-packed month, starting with the Darius Rucker Intercollegiate in Hilton Head, S.C. The following week sees the Deacs out west for the Juli Inkster Invitational at TPC Harding Park. Wake Forest closes out the month at the Charles Schwab Women’s Spring Collegiate in Fort Worth, Texas.<\/p>\n

This April, the ACC Championship returns to nearby Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C. Wake Forest. After winning both individual and team titles at the NCAA Tallahassee Regionals in 2026, the Demon Deacons will look to repeat regional success May 10-12 (location TBA) and a return to the national stage. The 2027 NCAA Championship heads back to La Costa Resort on May 21-26 in Carlsbad, Calif. to crown a new champion.<\/p>\n
