Hello Jewelry City Disc Golfers! The time has come to fund the course, a task I've been working on behind the scenes and am thrilled to bring to the masses. This course will not go in without the support of the community, so whatever help you can offer is so greatly appreciated. Below is each tier and the associated perks.

Ruby Tier - Season 1 Bag Tag ('25 through '26 as the '25 will either be abridged or nonexistent) - First Come, First Serve
Emerald Tier - Ruby Tier + Founder's Tag + Exclusive CTP's and Events + 15% off Course Store
Sapphire Tier - Emerald Perks + Name on a Basket (each division represents which basket you want your name on)
Diamond Tier - Emerald Perks + 5 Year sponsorship on Tee Sign and at Course Events (each division represents which hole you are sponsoring)

I will have your name as you sign up. Tags will be able to be picked up in person at the Jewelry City Putting League or at the course once it's been constructed. We will likely hold some sort of "soft opening" for the Founder's club members as well as get their names in on the welcome sign for players to see.

If you'd like to help the course outside of the fundraising tiers, please email me at [email redacted]. Any straight up monetary donations can be sent to the Non-profit PayPal account at "Jewelry City Disc Golf".

If you are considering or have purchased a Diamond Tier sponsorship, please email me to coordinate! Cost per impression with Google Ads is $1, cost per impression at Highland Park (at 10,000 solo rounds a year and ignoring non-disc golfers) is $0.01. Place your ad with us and grow your business! If you would like to donate tee pad materials on lieu of a monetary donation, please also reach out to me!
