Princeton, N.J. - Princeton University was recently ranked as one of the best colleges for men's and women's golf in the 2005-06 Golf Digest College Golf Guide.

Princeton ranked first in the women's academic rankings and second in the men's academic rankings. Additionally, Princeton ranked 21st in the women's overall rankings.
Princeton received the title as the "Best College for Golf" in the women's academic rankings, edging three other Ivy League schools in the top-five. Princeton ranked second in the men's version, being only outranked by Emory.
