The Virginia Union University Golf Team competed in the 2026 Robert W. Dortch Jr. HBCU Collegiate Golf Classic Tournament September 21st & 22nd, 2026. The tournament was contested at The Bear's Best Atlanta Country Club which is a 6,824-yard layout and has been one of the most coveted tee times in Georgia's capital. The eighteen holes here are replicas of Nicklaus's favorite holes from some of his most impressive and best-known layouts. Each and every test at Bear's Best Atlanta fits the sloping, partly open, partly wooded grounds well. It was truly a great test for all of the golfers.
