Golf first appeared at Trinity in the early 20th century. As it became popular, the Golf Association was formed in 1908. The first tournament was heavily delayed due to weather and had to be handicapped due to light concerns.

Intercollegiate play began in 1935 and was organized by Ray Oosting. Home matches were played at Rockledge Country Club in West Hartford. The first official season in a league came in 1953. The highest-ranked season for the men's team was the 2018-19 season, in which they were ranked eighth.

Women's golf began at Trinity in 2017 with several women competing in tournaments individually. Through the advocacy of Sarah Vimini '19 and Emily Schroeder '20, Trinity joined the NESCAC as an official team in the 2018-19 season. Women's golf has boasted one recipient of the Susan E. Martin Award: Gabriella Christensen '21.
