The WSSU golf team, whose home course is Winston-Lake Golf Course will be returning to action for the first time in over a decade.

WSSU Director of Athletics, Dr. Chico Caldwell had the following comment, "I am excited about the renewal of the golf program here at Winston-Salem State University. It offers another competitive avenue for our student-athletes to represent themselves and their school as members of the Winston-Salem State University golf program. These student-athletes are pioneers as they will attempt to bring back to WSSU, the glory that the golf program has generated in the past.
