Lake Forest College

After serving as head coach in the Forester women's golf team's first three seasons and spending the next eight as the associate head coach, Tamlyn Tills returned to the helm of the program prior to the 2025-26 academic year. It will be her 15th season working with a varsity golf program at the collegiate level.

With Tills on staff, the Foresters have finished among the top teams in the league in nearly every year of the program's existence. After placing fifth at the Midwest Conference Championships as a first-year program in 2014, Lake Forest climbed a spot in the standings to fourth in 2015, moved up another place to third in 2016 and 2017, and was the runner-up in 2018. Lake Forest changed leagues in 2020 and has averaged better than a third-place finish in five St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship Tournaments with a top placing of second each of the last two seasons and in the spring of 2021.

The Foresters have had 19 all-conference performances in the program's first 10 seasons with at least one player in the top five at the league championships in all but two years.

The Foresters have also been successful in the classroom with 28 SLIAC All-Academic or Academic All-MWC awards in program history.

Tills was the head women's golf coach at Loras College from 1999-2002. The Duhawks finished as high as third in the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference standings and in the top half of the league in each of Tills' three years as head coach. A pair of Loras players earned a combined three All-IIAC honors under her direction.

Upon joining the Forester staff as the head women's basketball coach in 2008, Tills also took over as the advisor and head coach of the golf team, which competed under club sport status until 2014. She has won 300 games as a collegiate basketball coach, including 164 with the Foresters.

Before coming the Lake Forest, Tills was the head women's basketball coach at Concordia University Chicago, Loras College, and Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota. She was also an NCAA Division I assistant coach at Marquette University and California State University-Fullerton and worked in the front office of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks.

Her coaching career began at Divine Savior Holy Angels High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she was the athletic director and volleyball and basketball coach.

Tills was also a successful collegiate athlete and is a member of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Hall of Fame.

She resides in nearby Libertyville.
