The Seminoles compete in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).

They play their home matches on the Don A. Veller Seminole Golf Course on the university's Tallahassee, Florida campus, and are currently led by head coach Trey Jones.

Some notable alumni of the program are Paul Azinger, Hubert Green, Jeff Sluman, George McNeill, Jonas Blixt, Daniel Berger, and Brooks Koepka.

Florida State is one of just five universities to have had four alumni win the major championships and Florida State alums have won a total of 58 PGA Tour events.

In 2017, the University announced that Nicklaus Design had been hired to renovate the course at a cost of $4–6 million.
