Venue & Date Change
The event is officially moving from Dorval to Golf St. Zotique, and the new date will be Friday, August 21, 2026.
Why the Change?
Dorval could not accommodate a shotgun start. Without it, our tee times would be too spread out, limiting the number of golfers we could host and disrupting the flow of the day making it challenging for us to all have breakfast together and complicating the putting and chipping contests.St. Zotique, on the other hand, can fully accommodate a shotgun start.
This will easily allow us to host the 100+ golfers we are expecting so that everyone can start, play, and finish together. They only had August 21 open for a group of our size, which is why the date had to be shifted.
The KMSPL 50th Anniversary Golf Tournament stands as one of the signature events of 2026, our 50th Anniversary season, bringing together players, alumni, friends and family to celebrate five decades of league history.
The tournament takes place at Golf St Zotique on Friday, August 21, 2026, with the day kicking off with a full buffet breakfast served at the course.
From the opening tee shots through the final holes, the event is designed to be a relaxed but competitive day that reflects the spirit on which the league was built.
Following golf, the celebration continues with dinner at the Chalet at 6:00 p.m., featuring food by Arahova Kirkland. The evening does not stop there. Bocce begins at 7:30 p.m., followed by poker at 11:00 p.m., giving everyone plenty of reasons to stay, reconnect, and enjoy the night.
Let's make this the biggest and best ever! Our goal is 112 golfers.
The cost is $150 per person, covering the full day of golf, food, and evening activities.
More than just a tournament, the day is about shared stories, familiar faces, and celebrating the friendships formed through the KMSPL over the last 50 years. From the fairways to the card tables, the 50th Anniversary Golf Tournament captures what the league has always been about.
50 Years of Good Fun, Great Friends, and Community Spirit.
