Tee assignments:
- Red tees (short layout): FA65, FA70, FA75, FA80, FA3, FA4, and all junior divisions.
- White tees (standard layout): all other divisions.
Note: the painted stakes represent the front corners of teeing area on each hole (not the mats).

Course notes:
- No OB.
- No 2-meter rule.
- Holes 1 & 2: Creek plays as casual. If your disc lands in the creek, establish the first available lie from the last place the disc was in bounds with no penalty stroke.
- Hole 5: MANDATORY. Discs must pass to the right of the mandatory tree while playing this hole. If you pass to the left of the mandatory tree on the tee shot, take your next throw from the red tee with a one stroke penalty. If you miss the mandatory on any other throw, the player has the choice of throwing from their previous lie with a one stroke penalty or throwing from the red tee with a one stroke penalty.
- Hole 9: NOTE: There are two white tee placements on this hole. Divisions with white tee assignments will play from the longer left position.
- Hole 15: No OB. Rope on left side of fairway is not OB for this event.
- Hole 16: MANDATORY. Discs must pass to the left of the mandatory tree. If you miss the mando on the teeshot take your next shot from the red tee with a penalty stroke. If you miss the mando on any other shot (other than the tee shot) re-throw from your previous lie with a penalty stroke.
- Hole 18: PLEASE use a spotter from your group while playing this hole to avoid backups.

We will use PDGA live scoring.
All players must keep score (PDGA rule section 808 scoring) and I am requiring that at least 2 players in each group keep score using the PDGA live scoring app.
