The Houston Cougars golf program is an NCAA Division I golf program at the University of Houston. The program competes in the American Athletic Conference as a men's-only sport, and its head coach is Jonathan Dismuke.
Team members who went on to professional golf careers include Fuzzy Zoeller, Fred Couples, Steve Elkington, Bruce Lietzke, John Mahaffey, Bill Rogers, Blaine McCallister and Billy Ray Brown. Future broadcaster Jim Nantz was also a member of the team for a while.
The program is one of the oldest sports traditionally played at the University of Houston, as it began in 1946 along with the football program. The team is one of the most successful college programs in history, with 16 team national championships and eight individual national championships. This makes the team the second-most successful team of all time, only behind Yale. The team also holds 20 conference championships, and 44 All-Americans.
