Fall Season
Wake Forest will tee up their fall schedule close to home, starting off the season at the Bryan National Collegiate in Greensboro on September 6th.
The Deacs will look to reclaim their titles at two events this fall. In their last outings at the Highlands Invitational and Steelwood Collegiate in 2023 and 2018 respectively, the Deacs claimed both the team and individual titles. The Highlands Invitational is set to begin on September 15th in Chicago.
Making their way up the coast to one of the top courses in New York, the Demon Deacon make their return to the Maidstone Club for the seventh-annual Hamptons Intercollegiate, set to start on October 6th.
The first inaugural Bryson Invitational starting October 13th includes 15 teams across nine conferences, giving the Deacs a strong opportunity to compete in the fall.
The Steelwood Collegiate, meanwhile, will close the fall season on October 25th.
Spring Season
The Deacs will begin the spring portion of the season in picturesque tropical settings, with their first tournament of the 2026 calendar year at the Palmas del Mar Collegiate in Puerto Rico.
Wake Forest will then head out West for back-to-back tournaments in California. The Prestige will start February 16th and the Desimone Invitational will begin on March 9th.
Closing out the month of March, the Deacs' annual trip to the Valspar Intercollegiate will include a competitive and prominent field to help the Deacs prepare for postseason play.
Finishing the regular season, the Invitational at the Ford will give the Demon Deacons one final opportunity to prepare for competitive postseason competition.
The Postseason
The ACC Championship will return to a familiar course this year, as the Deacs will compete against their conference foes at the Shark's Tooth Golf Club in Panama City, Fla. In 2022 at the same course, Wake Forest captured the ACC title, the first under head coach Jerry Haas. The tournament will begin on April 23rd and the final championship match will be on April 27th.
Wake Forest will then be one of six host sites for the NCAA Regionals, playing at Bermuda Run Country Club in Winston-Salem. NCAA Regional play will run from May 18th-20th.
