Introduction
The Green River men’s varsity golf team plays on two of the finest golf courses in the South Sound Region. Partnering with Meridian Valley Country Club and Washington National Golf Club as their home courses has proved to be a great relationship for the Gator golf program. Green River has won the NW Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) Championship in 1998, 1994, 1987. Most recently in 2007, Green River finished second at the 36 hole event.
