The CTP will take place on hole 17. It is open to all divisions for both rounds. If someone records an ace on this hole, they will also win the CTP prize. If multiple aces are recorded on this hole, there will be a secondary CTP throw off from Hole 17's red tee for the prize.
COURSE RULES
Attached is the course rules document which describes where the out of bounds on each hole. Please review it and use it as a guide for play. Baskets will have spray painted circles marking Circle 1 and OB lines will be marked by white stakes, paint, or road lines. For OB without stakes or paint, if your disc is touching in bounds at all play it as in bounds. If it is in question, confirm with your card what the correct play is; including if necessary to play a provisional throw. Please keep tightly to the 3 minute rule for any lost discs.
Please take care to let groups play ahead safely. If you are teeing off on hole 8, 10, or 14, please wait for the hole in front's tee pad to clear.
CAUTION** There are gravel walking paths that interact with the course. Please be aware when throwing if there are folks on the paths as they have right of way.
