So I am planning bringing my fifth wheel down to camp, and was hoping to get more info on where to do that. What is the best way to get in touch with someone about that? I’m not sure the emails I sent are getting through. Thanks!

Tournament central is 7138 N Escondido Rd. Maricopa, AZ. This is where you can park your fifth wheel. You can call Curtis: 480-208-9010 to make arrangements.

Is this course cart friendly?

January 9 at 3:30pm
Somewhat. You will struggle between 2 & 4. Hole 10&11 traverse up a mountain. I’d say carry your bag if possible.

I would compare this course to Buffalo Ridge if you have ever played there. It's not super cart friendly to be honest with you...

It is setup with poles at basket locations. Baskets won’t go in to a few days prior to event.

Hi! Do you have rough estimates for Friday tee times for MPO? Would love to play this year but I can only get a half day off that Friday. So if y’all are teeing off in the morning I won’t be able to make it
Malum Nothis November 27 at 10:34am
You should include a registration time and a time zone. It would really help your paying customers.

Is ma3 still playing 3 rounds?
Eric Dunton

Does MA3 play 3 rounds between Friday and Saturday? Or are they only playing 2 rounds total?
Mario Pinedo November 13, 2023 at 6:42pm
MA3 plays friday and Saturday? Im looking for tournaments that DONT play on Sunday. Just want to confirm before making any decisions. What kind of players pack do you get for a $115 fee? Thanks
Sam Russ
November 14, 2023 at 12:30am
Correct. MA3/FA3 don’t play Sunday. Players pack is customizable. $25 of entry is for course fees.

Camping is free. You can camp in desert or on private property at Tournament Central.
My most memorable story on the course: I was playing the Memorial 2017, Was on JB card and I was struggling. He didn't even hesitate to help me gain my composure. I was his competitor, but that didn't matter. This is never happened to me like this, during a situation of this magnitude. It was the final round of the event. He truly became my friend at this moment.
I played with JB lat year at the Maricopa Open in the flex tourney. Nicest guy you could ever meet. Hes the reason I love the halo star sidewinder.

Easy, sitting together on a bench during a backup at the 2021 Rumble in the Quad Cities, it was my first time playing with JB, I asked him what factors go into deciding which division he chooses to compete in at a given tournament. A few casual remarks were exchanged about it and then he looked at me and asked me how soon I'm eligible for MP50, I told him 7 years still and he looked at me and said "Good, I'm sure glad I don't have to worry about you at Master's Wolrds"! Bearing in mind he was beating me by 4 strokes in the tournament at that moment, I was playing about as good as I could and he was playing about as bad as he could... he had to know that I wasn't really a genuine competition threat for him. He had made the comment specifically to say something kind and encouraging to a guy he was just getting to know for the first time and it really made me feel great to think that he may have actually perceived me as talented on his level. It's amazing to think that a man who was struggling so much secretly was still trying to find ways to be deliberately encouraging to others. He was always kind to me every time I saw him in the too few years that followed.
