if i may say something... i cant leave the state of oregon.. so havent been to leverich in a bout a year and a 1/2... but it kinda sounds like the manor at the park is going to ****?!?! 1st off tee's and basket locations are made to be just that... from point "A" to point "B" a course is designed a certain way for many reasons... mostly because of flow and land usage/area avail for the course... when people start playing from an un-designated tee off point that goes to an un-designated hole-pin location... it creates havoc due to crossing flight paths for the actual assigned holes... thus people get hit or throw on others playing the regular layout of any course... and vise versa... if i can kindly say w/ out some one chewing my ass out... its prolly not a good idea to throw a safari type layout in an open to the public course unless that open to public course has been closed down to the public I.E. for a tourney/event etc.. which would allow for players or tourny directors to be able to do their jobs by allowing a different/alt layout for any given course for that event.
now if say some one is playing from short tees and another group is playing from long tees... it doesnt matter the group that was their 1st be it on either or tee location has the right of way and should tee off 1st... but it is proper and polite to let a smaller group if they play fast to let them play through... (what i like to do is have the smaller group play along w/ us on that hole then we kindly let the smaller group play through on the next hole)... it keeps the round of d-golf flowing and seems to make every one happy.. plus its a good way to meet new friends etc..
i hope this kinda helps resolve the tention at your park... just remember a course is better than no course... locals will be locals and new comers will be new comers.. its your job to show them the way of the land ;)
