Please continue to send questions our way via e-mail to [email redacted] or DGS.

The “complete” versions include a detailed Schedule of Events, our Parking Plan, Check-In location (Banquet Room), our Vendor Area (30+), all the ongoing Contests & Fun, a Tournament Central overview image, and Overall Map which highlights the Spectator Areas, General Rules that are applied locally, a list of our 140+ Sponsors), and then a Course Map and Individual Maps for each hole, including last year statistics for the MPO & FPO Divisions.

It is best to download these caddie books directly to your smart phone. If you don’t have a smart phone, not sure how you are surviving in this world. It only makes YOUR life easier!
2) Registration Closes – Sunday, May 5th, at 5 PM PST.
3) Pool Assignments – Have been finalized. All female divisions have been moved to the B Pool. The MA50 & MA60 divisions have moved to the D Pool. Course order and division teeing order can be found at https://www.lvcdg.com/24-teeing-order/ .
4) Time Times – Still anticipated to be posted Sunday evening, May 5th, by 5 PM PST.
5) Pre-Event Practice Play - Wildhorse will be very busy with ball golf play BEFORE May 6th. DO NOT expect to just show up prior May 6th and be able to play disc golf. Wildhorse has added a May the Fourth be with You event on May 4th. Please call their Pro Shop up to three days in advance to reserve LIMITED disc golf tee times for play BEFORE 5/6 or up to 2 weeks for the May 4th special event. (Call 702-434-9000, ext. 1.) Additionally, the LVC layout will NOT be set-up until very late Monday, May 6th. We cannot set-up the courses until starting around Noon on Sunday, May 5th. Please be patient as an army of volunteers prep the courses.
6) LVC Practice Play - Available to play for FREE to LVC registered players only STARTING at 1 PM on May 5th (Sunday)...yes, three and a half practice days! You do NOT need to (and CANNOT) reserve a tee time for practice play after Friday, May 3rd. Rounds and play are open to ONLY LVC FULLY REGISTERED PLAYERS. Golf Carts are available on a first-come, first serve basis. Only two people allowed per cart, and the reservation is likely only good for four (4) hours. An ID will be required to rent a golf cart, and a “Rules Sheet” will likely need to be signed by the driver. All courses are available for practice starting at 1 PM on Sunday. Practice days are NOT course specific for certain divisions…it is open practice for all divisions on all courses. (See “Schedule” posted at www.lvcdg.com.)
7) Facility Access & Badge Requirements – Starting Sunday, May 5th, all individuals MUST be badged to access Wildhorse (after you check-in, of course). So your first order of business is to check-in either in the banquet room (players, caddies, media, sponsors, & volunteers) or via the spectator tent in the round-about.
8) Parking - With limited parking available at Wildhorse and prohibited on adjacent streets, you must have a parking pass displayed on your rear-view mirror to park at Wildhorse (after you check-in, of course). So again, your first order of business is to check-in either in the banquet room (players, media, sponsors, & volunteers) or via the spectator tent in the round-about for PLATINUM VIPs only. NO parking is AVAILABLE ON-SITE for ANY non-Platinum spectators and caddies. Caddies should carpool with their players. Family members and friends should also carpool with their players. Family and friends who don’t get the one (1) caddie pass from their player are required to purchase a spectator pass.

Cost is $10 per trial for 5 throws for Driving and $10 for 3 tries for Putting. Try as many times as you would like. All fees donated directly to LLS. Each winner wins a Jacquart Events LLC $100 gift card. You can AMEND your DiscGolfScene registration to add this onto your fees, or pay the extra $10 when you register if you want in. Events are finalized Wednesday. There are NO finals Saturday night.
10) Player & Caddie Dress Code - All players and their assigned caddie cannot wear tee shirts. No ripped shirts, shorts, or pants will be allowed on the course, including unhemmed, torn or cut “vents” at the shirt collar. No offensive, profane, or obscene slogans or logos shall be allowed on any clothing. In other words, make your mama proud! LVC Finals is on Mother’s Day!
11) Caddie Bibs, Caddie Quantities, and Spectators – Players will receive a LVC caddie bib as part of their player’s package. When providing caddie services, caddies must wear their bib on the course. All other individuals are considered and treated as spectators and MUST ACQUIRE a Spectator Pass to access the property.

Additionally, the OTHER MEMBERS OF THE GROUP will also receive a warning for permitting undue delay and not enforcing the rules (3.02(D)).
