Changes for this year-
Riverside Park, Scottville
Scottville course is at Riverside Park on the south end of town- Drive thru park/campground all the way to back past bathrooms. Tee pads have just been approved- However they will not be purchased and in till 2014- one more year of grass.... liberal tee pads here. There are 15 tight wooded holes and 9 in the big field. Technical AND big air!

Leviathan, Ludington- Chainstars
The four year project to cement the long and short holes at Leviathan has begun- WE KNOW THE TEE PADS SUCK- you may tee BEHIND any mat instead of on them. Two-Three more years and all tee pads will be cement. Chainstars have been installed and Innova baskets are history! The longs have 4 new holes that will be added next year- (this year if pool size mandates)

West Shore Community College-
NEW course- Short course is finished- Pro course will be used in 2014- Tee pads also to be installed for 2014- liberal tee pads here also. Follow signs to ice arena- course is at back of ice arena.

Mason Co Park- Ludington and
Flip City- Shelby

The three courses at Mason Co Park and Flip City at Shelby remain virtually unchanged- At Mason Co Park follow park road to the split- turn left and drive to pavillion. The PRO tees will be used by ALL divisions at Flip City and the BLACK LINE on the tees is the tee- NOT the end of the pad

-Thanks to Dan “mow maniac” Gipe for mowing, tons of work and West Shore Community College course design with Jonboy.
-Thanks to Adam Geise for voluteer work all year long EVERYWHERE!!
-Bud Parrish for trimming and mowing everywhere!!
-Thanks to Bill McKenzie for letting us include Flip City!
