This is an unsanctioned fun and family-friendly tournament.
Players of all ages, including kids and parents are able to register to play.
If you are brand new to the sport, from 5:00 pm and on we will have people on-site to teach the rules, offer tips on how to throw, and play a few practice holes with anyone that comes early. Experienced players are welcome to come early to play a practice round or join the newcomers to share knowledge and help introduce new players to the sport! We will also be available with glow sets for $5 for 3 discs to help you set up for a glow round.

FAQ
What if I’ve never played disc golf before?
Great. Learn to play with us! You can sign in early and get your player pack that includes your own disc to keep and play with (along with other fun goodies!). We can give you a bit of instruction before you try a few holes or warm-up at the practice basket. You can join the beginners' tier, play from the short tees and try your best. This tournament was put together to introduce new players to the sport and the friendly disc golf community.
What if I’ve played before and wouldn’t consider myself a beginner?
Awesome! Bring your discs and talent to the novice or Intermediate division and play from the short or long tees against some other players near your skill level. Maybe even show up early and share some of your tips with our new players!
What if I’m a very talented and competitive disc golfer and the only reason I enter tournaments is to win?
This is not the tournament for you. Sandy Hollow will hold more competitive tournaments for more highly ranked players in the future so keep an eye out for those and we will be happy to have you then. In the meantime, if you are willing to play a more recreational tournament on a beautiful course, share some of your experience and be a good representative of the fun, supportive disc golf community, we would love for you to sign up!
