Michigan State University fields a women's golf team in the Big Ten Conference (NCAA Division I). In 2024–25 the roster carried 10 players, above the median of 8, with 1 head coach and 1 assistant. Team expenses were $1,864,692, well above the median of $473k — $186,469 per roster spot, top 10% of Division I women's golf programs.

The school gave $8,241,631 in athletic aid across its women's teams, about $18,562 per roster spot.
