INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA has named the Mountain East Conference as the host for the 2023 Men's Golf Championship at Avalon Lakes Golf and Country Club in Warren Ohio.

The MEC previously served as a host for multiple NCAA Division II Atlantic/East Regional Men's Golf Championships, and was also the host for the 2019 NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championship at The Resort at Glade Springs. Additionally, the MEC served as a co-host for the 2014 and 2015 NCAA Division II Women's Lacrosse Championships, as well as the 2014 and 2018 NCAA Division II Softball Championships. 

"The Mountain East Conference is excited to once again be selected to host a NCAA National Championship event," said Commissioner Reid Amos. "We are thrilled to be partnering with Avalon Lakes Golf and Country Club to stage the 2023 Division II Men's Golf event and we are confident that their Pete Dye designed masterpiece will deliver an outstanding experience for the student-athletes."

"It is a privilege and honor to partner with the MEC in hosting the 2023 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship," said Nick Dinsmore, General Manager of Golf, Avalon Lakes Golf and Country Club. "We are looking forward to the event and providing the participants with an outstanding experience."

This is the third time for this specific NCAA championship bid process, which created the largest host site
announcement ever, spanning 86 championships across a four-year cycle. Previously, selection announcements varied by sport. This process now gives the NCAA and host sites more time to plan each championship experience.

Bidding for 86 of 90 NCAA championships began in August 2019 and more than 3,000 bid applications were
ultimately submitted. Each sport committee, per division, selected the host sites it believed would provide the ultimate experience for the respective student-athletes, resulting in more than 450 total championship event sites being awarded. More than 54,000 student-athletes compete in NCAA championships each year. The four championships not included in the process due to preexisting site arrangements are: Division I baseball, Division I football, Division I softball and Division III women’s ice hockey.
