Craig Marsh enters his fourth season as head coach of the Bellevue University women’s golf program in 2026-27 and his first as the Bruins’ Director of Golf. In his expanded role, Marsh will oversee both Bellevue golf programs while also serving as the head men’s golf coach.

Marsh succeeds longtime men’s golf coach Rob Brown, who was the first and only head coach in the history of the Bellevue men’s golf program.

In 2025-26, Marsh guided the women’s team to a second-place finish in Bellevue’s inaugural season in the Frontier Conference. The Bruins also captured two tournament titles during the campaign.

Marsh led Bellevue to a 14th-place finish at the 2025 NAIA National Championship, marking the program’s best national finish since 2016. The Bruins also secured their sixth consecutive North Star Athletic Association championship and won four tournaments during the 2024-25 season.

Marsh was named NSAA Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season after all five Bellevue golfers finished among the top seven at the conference championship and earned first-team all-NSAA recognition. Maria Pinedo led the Bruins by earning NSAA Golfer of the Year accolades.

In his first season at Bellevue in 2023-24, Marsh guided the Bruins to their fifth consecutive conference championship and 10th appearance at the NAIA National Championship. Bellevue won five tournaments during his debut season.

Before joining Bellevue in July 2023, Marsh spent two seasons as the head women’s golf coach at NCAA Division II Black Hills State University from 2021-23.

Marsh previously led the Hastings College women’s golf program. His recruiting and fundraising efforts contributed to several program upgrades, including the addition of an indoor hitting bay and flight monitor.

He began his coaching career at Kelly Walsh High School in Casper, Wyo., where he led the boys’ and girls’ programs to six combined Wyoming Class 4A state championships. Marsh guided the boys’ team to state titles in 2012, 2017, and 2018, while the girls’ team captured championships in 2016, 2017, and 2018. He was named the Wyoming Class 4A Boys Coach of the Year three times and Girls Coach of the Year five times.

A Class A PGA Member since 2005, Marsh is a member of the Golf Coaches Association of America and the Women’s Golf Coaches Association.

As a player, Marsh won the 1997 Wyoming Open with a 6-under-par total of 204 after rounds of 67, 71, and 66.
