Sponsors:

❇️ MINT Discs - a massive thank you to our friends and partners for making this event possible. MINT paved the way for our club to raise funds, and if it weren't for that, we would not have been able to generate the revenue for the Benbrook redesign. MINT continues to be extremely generous throughout the course construction process, and we could not have made this course a reality without them. We are extremely grateful for the partnership with this local company. MINT's support has enabled our club to make some big waves in the Cedar Park, Leander, and Georgetown region.

❇️ Red Horn Brewery - We appreciate our friends for being such gracious hosts throughout our putting league, AND for donating refreshments for this event.

❇️ Benbrook 2.0 - We are ecstatic to showcase the completely redesigned course from Mike Olse for OUR club's first large-scale tournament. This is our first B-tier, and we are thrilled for many more. Benbrook 2.0 hosted 2 national events in the past 6 months (NADGT & USWDGC), and we are proud to highlight the new layout to the public once again, with several new upgrades.

If you haven't played the new layout, we now have concrete tee pads and new MVP baskets. Every hole is different from the original 2008 design. We have 7 completely new holes in the eastern portion of the park. Old holes 4, 5, 16, and 18 will be recognizable, but each hole has either a new tee or basket location (or both).

Several course upgrades have already been performed: concrete tees, new baskets, a putting facility, 6 fantastic creek crossings, an intricate triple mandatory, and trash receptacles.

A few more improvements are in the works: individual hole signs, a course map, a street sign, more benches, a water fountain, and a shade structure.

❇️ About the Hill Country Hyzers Disc Golf Club: ❇️
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, committed to growing disc golf in the north Austin area. We host approximately 12-15 low-cost disc golf events each month, attracting locals to Central Texas parks. We focus on four tenets: improving existing courses through volunteer work, advocating for new course installations, bringing new players to the game, and donating to local charities. 100% of the proceeds generated by the club go to the HCHDGC fund to finance future course improvements at Benbrook and other local disc golf venues. The Board of Directors does not accept any compensation. Connect with us if you are interested in getting more involved with the inner workings of the club.
