IHSAA state girls' golf meet set to move to Lafayette course from Prairie View in October
Following flooding in Central Indiana earlier this month, IHSAA girls' golf state meet set to move venues in October.
The 2026 Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) girls golf state championship will be held at Battle Ground Golf Club in Lafayette instead of its traditional site, Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel. IHSAA assistant commissioner Chris Kaufman informed state athletic directors via email that Prairie View has faced numerous issues, including severe flooding earlier this month, which have affected course conditions and the overall experience for the event.
The front nine and driving range at Prairie View reopened last weekend, and the course is aiming to reopen for full 18-hole rounds next Saturday. Kaufman collaborated with the IHSAA executive committee to find an alternate site, and Battle Ground was chosen as the new location due to its favorable reviews and recent hosting of the Indiana PGA Women's Open.
The event, scheduled for October 2-3, will take place at Battle Ground, which offers a 72-par course and measures 7,100 yards from the back tees. The IHSAA, O Neal Golf Management, and Indiana Golf Association will collaborate to ensure a successful event for all participants and spectators.
