Final Results

Apr. 25, 2025, GREENVILLE, MI – The Grand Rapids Community College men's golf team wrapped up conference play in dominant fashion on Friday, finishing second at the Montcalm Community College Invitational held at Glenkerry Golf Course. The Raiders posted a team score of 297 to place 2nd out of 12 teams—yet the day was far from a disappointment.

Despite falling just short of the top spot, the performance was enough for GRCC to secure its 16th consecutive conference championship, capping off a stellar regular season filled with consistency and clutch play.
