About this tournament
Updated!! - This event has been changed from a 2 day event to a 1 day 2 round event in order to encourage more sign ups. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
Join us for the first annual Aviation Heritage Memorial! The wiregrass and surrounding area is deeply rooted in aviation history. Starting back in March 1910, when the Wright brothers established the Nation’s first military flight school in Montgomery, AL later named Maxwell Field. Today it is an aviation tactics training school for the Airforce. In 1950 the Army began training future aviators out of Fort Rucker here in Dale County.
The LZ is themed after aviation, which is obvious by the memorialized UH1 Huey forever flying over the park entrance. This will be the first B tier at The LZ, and weeks after the 1 year grand opening! Registration closes on March 15th for the shirt order to be submitted in time, so don't delay!
All players will be playing 2 rounds shotgun start on their respective tournament 18 hole layout. The course will be tournament ready at least 1 week prior to the event for practice rounds. Minimum of 3 players per division with exception for gender and age protected divisions. It is important to note that the PDGA now requires an active PDGA membership to participate in a B tier event. PDGA membership costs $50 a year, and pays for itself if you play 5 events in a year. (https://www.pdga.com/membership)

I'm excited to announce we have partnered with 2 hotels in the wiregrass area for a massive room rate discount. 10 rooms are set aside for players at each hotel for at the Fairfield by Marriot, and the Hampton Inn for the weekend starting Friday March 31st until Feb 2nd. The room rate is set at $111 plus tax per night, nearly 30% off!! If you are planning on staying to practice, and stick around for the flex start Sunday, please consider staying with our partner hotel and taking advantage of these great group rate discounts.
- To make a reservation with the Fairfield by Marriott call 334-348-1580 and give the front desk attendant the code DGTS. The last day to make reservations for this group at the Fairfield by Marriott is March 15, 2023. After this date reservations will be granted on space available basis only.
- To make reservations at the Hampton Inn in Enterprise, AL, please call 334-347-5763 and give the front desk attendant the code DGT. The last day to make a reservation for this group at the Hampton Inn is March 15, 2023. After this date reservations will be granted on space available basis only.
Note: The Tournament layouts are slightly modified from the standard course layout. Hole 4 is removed to add a longer tournament pin placement for Blue and Gold layouts on hole 8. Red layout plays to this basket as the PZ hole after normal hole 8. Hole 4s tee serves as the Gold tee for hole 5. The LZ hole will be played by Blue and Gold layouts. Hole 7 will be moved to an alternate location to the right. Hole 17 will be moved to an alternate more difficult par 4 location. Hole 18 will be moved to the island across the street. Tentatively hole 1 will be moved to a further alternate peninsula green pending land use approval. These changes are intended to slightly increase the course difficulty while simultaneously dampening the “home course advantage” for more evened out and accurate ratings for all players.
