BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The chase for championship glory returns to the greens as the 2025 Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships are scheduled to unfold April 14-16 at the picturesque Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail – Oxmoor Valley.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Birmingham, The Ridge Course presents a dynamic challenge with its dramatic elevation shifts and lush tree-lined fairways. A nod to the area’s rich mining heritage, the par-5 3rd hole features a green fortified by a striking shelf of exposed shale rock—just one of many visual and technical highlights awaiting this year’s competitors.

The tournament format will span 54 holes of stroke play, with champions crowned based on total scores. If inclement weather disrupts play, 36 holes will serve as the official minimum for determining the title winners. Should the final round begin but not reach completion by all teams, results from the first two rounds (36 holes) will stand as final.

The action tees off at 7:30 a.m. CST on Monday, April 14.

On the women’s side, defending champions Alabama State aim to extend their dominance with back-to-back titles. In the men’s competition, Arkansas-Pine Bluff eyes a historic three-peat as they return with momentum and confidence.
