I will likely have open spots on Sunday for late registrations or walk-ups. If you're planning to play or waiting to see if there are drops, please register for the waitlist! I've got three players who are definitely dropping but I would like to do right by them and refund them in full (if possible). I can't do that in accordance with PDGA rules unless there is someone on the waitlist to replace them.

Layout Update as of 6/13/25 ...

Walked the course this morning with Professor Steffen. Fairfield University has always been a course in a constant state of flux year after year due to campus projects. 2025 is no different, as a proposed parking lot extension at Holes 1 and 2 was supposed to start last week (and has been delayed) but necessitated the shortening of Hole 2's basket. Furthermore, the graduation tent is still up on Bellarmine Hill for Hole 12, which does present us with a fun potential temporary hole. See full layout notes below:

Hole 1 - no change
Hole 2 - regular tee, new basket location approximately 75-100 shorter
Hole 3 - no change. Note that the campus installed a new bench on concrete pad in front and left of basket which will be flagged with caution tape. If your disc comes to rest on the concrete or bench, take casual relief in accordance with PDGA rules
Hole 4 - no change
Hole 5 - long tee in front of School of Business on sidewalk. Marked with red dots just down the stairs
Hole 6 - no change
Hole 7 - no change
Hole 8 - no change
Hole 9 - no change
Hole 10 - no change
Hole 11 - We will return to the Par 4 tee location next to the Jesuit dorm. Tee will be the concrete in front of the building. All asphalt and beyond to the right is OB. If your disc does not cross any in bounds surface or touch an object that is in bounds, proceed to the drop zone (which will be the regular tee).
Hole 12 - If graduation tent is removed by tournament day, no change to the hole. If the tent is still in place and has yet to be removed, we will be playing a TEMPORARY HOLE INSIDE OF THE TENT!!! Tee will be located at central tent entrance closest to mansion, basket will be located in far right corner of tent, dance floor will be OB. Discs that somehow go outside of tent will also be OB. Hopefully, the tent will be gone, and all of this is a moot point!
Hole 13 - tee is on grass at bottom of hill near dumpsters ... NOT ON THE ASPHALT
Hole 14 - no change
Hole 15 - no change; if any shot lands in pond, players will proceed to drop zone which is located behind Hole 3's tee with penalty. All players will have the option to proceed from tee to drop zone without having to throw any shot BUT WITH ONE STROKE PENALTY
Hole 16 - new tee marked with concrete pavers, same basket location
Hole 17 - no change
Hole 18 - no change

Please note that Hole 18A used last year instead of course Hole 16 is not in play this year.
