The class A state golf tournament will tee off on the shores of Flathead Lake next fall.

The Montana High School Association announced during its April 19-20 Executive Board meetings that Polson Bay Golf Course has been awarded the championship tournament scheduled for Oct. 1-2. The Polson course hosted a divisional tournament last season, which culminated at the state tournament in Butte.

PGA Head Professional Cameron Milton, who also serves as coach of the Polson High School team, said he was thrilled to hear the news and excited for the upcoming season.

“We had a really good team last year,” Milton said. “And it was full of freshmen. Our kids are kind of young, and it’s so good for them to get to play on their home course. It’s such a big deal.”

Milton said the Pirates are returning eight golfers who lettered last year.
