Join us for the 4th annual Kayak Point Open!

The 2024 Kayak Point Open will be a 3-day PDGA-sanctioned Pro/Am B-Tier taking place Fri - Sun, July 12th - 14th. Players will play 3 rounds total, 1 round per day, except Juniors will only play 2 rounds with 1 round on Sat & 1 round on Sun. Pre-registration through discgolfscene.com is required and in accordance with PDGA Rules a PDGA membership if required to participate (since it's a B Tier).

The 2024 Kayak Point Open will once again be part of the PackEx Cup. The PackEx Cup is a summer series of 11 events located in the northwest. Players earn points to qualify for a season ending tournament where a stroke advantage is given to the highest point earners. The overall goal of the PackEx Cup is to promote the sport of disc golf and to increase the opportunity for competition for all disc golfers.

EARLY REGISTRATION:
Players who are registered for the PackEx Cup Series get early registration opportunities for all PackEx Cup events, including the Kayak Point Open. Disc Golf Resort Annual Pass Holders also get early registration opportunities as Annual Event Sponsors. Due to these early registration opportunities, and in accordance with PDGA guidelines, no more than 1/3 of the available spots can be claimed through early registration, and division caps are halved during the early registration period. Once general registration opens on March 12th at 6pm, 100% of the remaining spots will be made available (280 total players if all divisions fill).

Once the back-up pot hits $1,000, additional funds will be added to the first pot up for grabs until an ace it hit. If an Ace is not hit during this event, all Ace Pot funds will continue to roll over into the rolling tournament ace pot or the backup ace pot.

DISTANCE COMPETITION:

Enter and play as many rounds as you'd like at $10/round. Day-of sign ups also available.

---------------------------

PLAYER CHECK-IN:
Player’s must check-in inside the Clubhouse at least 15-minutes prior to their tee time. Ams and Juniors can pick up their Player Packs then too. Players should also be at the tee for hole 1 a minimum of 5 minutes before their tee time to check in with the Starter.

---------------------------

PDGA LIVE SCORING:

Scoring will be handled using PDGA Live Scoring. Players will get the scoring passcode during check-in.

---------------------------

COURSE/HOLE NOTES:

Red & Gold Courses: Players may take up to 2 meters of relief in-bounds along cart paths where logs that line cart paths hinder a lie or run-up.

Red Course Hole 3: In the event of a lost disc in the creek that crosses the fairway, proceed to the Green Tee with 1 stroke penalty.

Blue Course: Players may take relief from brush piles or large logs to the left, right, or behind their lie at the nearest point with safe footing without progressing towards the basket, without penalty.

Blue Hole 11: The line of rocks that marks the right side OB towards the green should be considered out of bounds (the rocks are the OB line). A portion of the disc must be left of the left/inside line created by the rocks to be in-bounds. If a disc comes to rest without any portion of the disc left of the inside line, it is OB. In this scenario, a player should take their lie at the last where the disc was in-bounds.

---------------------------

FOOD & DRINK:
Outside alcohol and food are prohibited on the property. Aces BBQ & Grill will be open from 11am - 5pm, plus the Pro Shop has a variety of snacks and drinks including non-alcoholic and alcoholic options. Players who register at least 1 week before the event will have the opportunity to pre-order food at a discount from Aces BBQ during registration.
