The postseason road for Iowa boys high school golfers around the state has been laid out.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association announced the four sites that will hold district meets in Class 4A. Those will determine who advances to the state championships, which take place October 12-13 in Pleasant Valley at the Davenport Country Club.

Cedar Falls, Le Mars, North Scott and Waukee Northwest will serve as host schools for those district meets. The top three teams from each district will qualify for the state championships, along with the top two overall individual players (plus ties) from each site’s non-qualifying teams.

The Class 4A district golf meets take place October 5, starting at 10 a.m.

Several Golfers Likely To Be Fighting Over Top Spots

Jonathan Ward of Waukee currently sits atop the state’s leaderboard with an 18-hole adjusted average of 68.82. North Scott’s Jaxon Adkisson is second at 70.08 followed by Chase Perrin from Dallas Center-Grimes, with an average of 70.34. 

North Scott has the lowest team adjusted 18-hole average, with Dallas Center-Grimes, Pleasant Valley, Waukee Northwest and Southeast Polk rounding out the Top 5.

Last year, Andrew Johannsen of Johnston won the state title with a 2-under. Johannsen recorded a par on the 36th hole to finish at 71. Adkisson and Ward were a shot behind Johannsen last year.

Dowling Catholic claimed team honors ahead of the Dragons, who were the defending state champions.

The other three classes - 3A, 2A and 1A - all play spring golf in Iowa. That is when they hold their state championships.

Here are the sites, courses and where teams will be playing for the district meets.
