Transylvania Fall Invite
About
The Transylvania Fall Invite is a collegiate men’s golf tournament hosted by Transylvania University at the University Club of Kentucky (Big Blue Course) in Lexington, Kentucky. The event features three rounds (54 holes) of team stroke play over two days—typically 36 holes on the first day and 18 on the second, with a shotgun start for each round. The field consists of about 19 NCAA Division III teams, with each team fielding five players and the lowest four scores per round counting toward the team total. Teams qualify for the event through invitation based on competitive standing and regional representation. The Transylvania Fall Invite marks the start of fall competition for several DIII programs in the region.
