Parking/Transportation Info:

This year we are going to try offering parking at the DG Center & at the Basin. Our hope is that everyone will give courtesy,respect and the right of way to competitors. This means when you are arriving for your round or leaving after your round that you yield to players on the course. In particular holes #1, #4 and #18 on Fox Run Meadows.

Parking will be available at the DG Center until approx. 10:30am on both Saturday and Sunday. After that time parking will be available at the Basin parking area and players will walk the road to the DG Center. Give yourself plenty of extra time to arrive and park and if arriving after approx. 10:30am please do not pull in the DG Center to park. We will have several parking attendants to help at both parking locations.

When parking at the Basin please tread lightly on the grass when pulling in and out. Also, please be careful and mindful when walking on the road to the DG Center. Walk to and from the Basin on one side of the road only so that the road is safely shared with other users.

A parking attendant will help coordinate departure for those that are leaving the DG Center during competition. Please wait for the okay from the parking attendant before departing so that competition is not impacted for those on Fox hole #18 and #1. There will also be an attendant (until 10:30am ) near Fox #1 to help those arriving not impact players teeing on Fox #1.


Friday Am payouts: DGVT will be on site and setup on Friday from 1-5:30pm if any amateur player has DGVTour payout to use please try and do so this day if you can. We have event and DGVTour payouts to administer on Sunday so redeeming any previous DGVTour payouts on Friday is a big help to us and to you.
