"Our 2026 schedule provides an outstanding balance of strong competition and valuable opportunities for growth throughout the season," said Dalton State men's golf coach Ben Rickett. "Men's golf continues to be one of the premier programs in the NAIA, and this schedule will challenge our student-athletes while preparing them to compete at the highest level when postseason play arrives. We are excited to see our team represent Dalton State and build upon the championship tradition that has been established within our program."
The Roadrunners will open the season on September 14 and 15 at the Coastal Georgia Fall Invitational in St. Simons Island, Ga. The event is hosted by the College of Coastal Georgia and will be held at a new venue, The Club at Sea Palms, located on St. Simons Island.
Dalton State will then head to Palm Harbor, Fla., for the Invite at Innisbrook on September 28 and 29. The Roadrunners will host the event on the famed Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort, one of the resort's signature layouts and the host course for the PGA TOUR's Valspar Championship.
The Birds return to action the following week at the Music City Collegiate, scheduled for October 5 and 6 in Dickson, Tenn. The tournament is hosted by Cumberland University and will be played at Greystone Golf Club, where Dalton State captured the team title during the 2025 edition of the event.
Dalton State closes its Fall schedule on October 18 and 19 at the Bojangles Tennessee Intercollegiate in Vonore, Tenn. The event is hosted by Tennessee Wesleyan and held at The Links at Kahite, a familiar stop for the Roadrunners in recent seasons.
The four-tournament Fall slate gives Dalton State a challenging start to the 2026-27 campaign, with each event providing valuable early-season tests against strong collegiate fields and on proven tournament courses.
