Where can your golf athlete actually play?
A named, specific list of college golf programs that fit — scored against your scoring average and handicap and what it really took to make each roster. Every division, D1 through D3. Not a brochure. A map.
Golf programs we've mapped
Each one scored against the athletes it actually recruits.
Scored against real rosters
Not a brochure. We place you against what it actually took to make each program's roster, division by division.
Reach, match, and safety by fit
Ranked by where you can realistically play and contribute — playing time and roster need, not prestige.
Real net cost by family income
What each school costs after aid at your income band, so the list is a plan you can afford, not a wish.
Coach outreach that's ready to send
A personalized first email to each program's coach, built from your own numbers.

What it takes
The golf level that gets you recruited
Golf recruits on tournament scoring average — most coaches read it directly. Here is the level each band typically reaches. Divisions overlap, so treat this as a directional bar, not a cutoff; your record and progression rank you within it.

Golf recruiting, answered
What does it take to get recruited for golf in college?
It varies by division. FiftyStar scores you against your scoring average and handicap of the athletes each program actually recruits, across 201 golf programs from D1 through D3, so you see where your numbers really fit instead of guessing. Building the map is free.
How do I reach out to college golf coaches?
A short, specific email with your numbers and your film gets a reply where a mass blast gets ignored. FiftyStar drafts a personalized first email to each program's coach, built from your own golf numbers, ready to send.
What is the difference between D1, D2, and D3 golf recruiting?
They are different levels of play and roster need, and the right fit is about playing time, not prestige. We map all of them (6 D1, 58 D2, 107 D3) and rank where you can realistically play and contribute.
Is FiftyStar free for golf recruits?
Yes. Building your Target Map, the named and scored list of golf programs that fit, is free. Season Pass adds the maintained training plan, tracking, and the full recruiting calendar.
