NOTICE: I was approached by the Powder Mill property owner due to last weekend's event. For future events, all organizers MUST provide their own insurance including Named Insured Certificates for the property owners. UPDGA is responsible for the Powder Mill, Silver Creek, and Al Quaal courses, and has entered into Land Use Agreement easements with the property owners to provide, construct, and maintain them. The Association maintains insurance policies covering all property owners, as we ... more
In reality, it's not even logical to just decide to run an event in someone else's neighborhood, in their park, without getting permission, and most likely paying some fee associated with the reserved/dedicated use. By no means would I just go down to Iron Mountain and run an event at City Park. WTH are some people thinking???!
If you don't say something directly to the offending party, you know it will happen again.
Oh I get it. Yes, anyone who tries to schedule will be made aware. But we cannot tell all potential "outside TDs"

Nice of them to clear some lanes for us. Interesting to see how that changes things once everything greens up.
they did a bunch of cutting on hole 8 yesterday cleared it out a bunch by the basket
right now its holes 1,4,a little of hole 5 by the teepad, hole 7 on the anhyzer line of the tee, 8,9,10 somewhat, 13 down the hill past basket, 16 a little by the basket, 17, and a little of 18 by tee
I used to rely on those trees on 4 to catch my shanked drives. I need to look again, but it might've opened up a big FH hyzer line, though.

I just bought 5 brooms from dollar tree for a dollar each. They were placed on holes 2, 4, 5/7, 9/17, 11. If you have some extra cash feel free to pick up more.

Navigation - take a picture of the course map with you for your first round, it's posted on the welcome board. Most greens have a sign pointing to the next tee (as long as someone hadn't vandalized it), and each tee sign likely shows the location of the next and adjacent holes. Look around and follow the obvious paths off the green. If you see a 4x4 post with a huge 12x18 sign, it's a tee sign.
10-11 is a long walk down to the river
11-12 blue requires walking down along part o ...

News! All tees have been upgraded to grippy rubber mats. The frames have been filled and compacted then topped with recycled glued rubber pads similar to track material. Enjoy!
