Turner Park Course Rules for 2025-05-03
Generic Rules:
1. Do not ever trespass into fenced off areas. Inside them is OB.
2. On any street is out of bounds. Beyond any street from in-bounds fairway area is out of bounds.
Exceptions are holes 4 and 17, immediately in front of tee pad; and hole 1’s driveway as marked.
3. Smooth cement sidewalks adjacent to curbs/streets are OB, unless marked otherwise.
All creek water is OB, unless specifically designated otherwise.
Walking trails are not out of bounds. Temporary standing water is not OB.
Tee Pads from other holes are not OB. (But, landing on them is embarrassing.)
4. If you miss one or more “mandos” and end up OB, then the lie for your next shot is determined by the first infraction
that occurred during the throw. (Exception: See rules for hole #6)
5. There is no 2-meter rule at Turner Park.
6. Street Curb Rule: The out of bounds line is defined as the edge of the cement that is adjacent to the main edge of the
grass/dirt/etc; not leaves or overgrown grass. Touching leaves or overgrown grass is of no importance. If any portion
of a disc resides on the in-bounds side of the defined OB line, then the disc is considered to be in bounds. Whenever
street curb sections are separated for drainage or driveways, then the OB line may defined as the in-bounds edge of a
painted line that spans the separation. If there is no painted line, the group is to estimate it to the best of their ability.
When in doubt, error on the side of “in-bounds”.
7. Disc Under Bridge Rule: If a disc is under a bridge and the disc is not considered to be out of bounds, then the disc
may be relocated out from under the bridge in a direction that is away from the basket to the nearest safe lie, or to the
top of the bridge above the disc, without incurring a penalty stroke.
(Use group decision for identification of nearest safe lie.)
8. Disc On Bridge Rule: Bridges are in-bounds. If a disc lands on top of a bridge, then it may be played as it lies, if the
lie would otherwise be in-bounds. If lie is unsafe, then see relocation from #7.
Note: Hole 8 is closed. It will be made up as 18A and 18B. After hole 7, proceed to hole 9.
Rules for Holes: [Course Par = 57]
Hole 1 (Medium: 380 Ft, +15 Elev, Par 3):
There is a mando pole on the right, just before the driveway. Most of the driveway is in-bounds.
There is line painted on the driveway, near the “mando” pole, that defines where the OB boundary crosses the driveway.

from the drop zone, or you can re-tee.
Hole 7 (Long: 207 Ft, -6 Elev, Par 3):
Neither the cement platform in the valley, nor the drainage platform left of the basket, are OB.

unplayable in the “boggy marsh” area, you may take non-penalized relief at the nearest lie out of the “bog”.
Hole 12 (295 Ft, -5 Elev, Par 3):
See generic rules for water and bridges. Special Turner Park Safety Rule: If your disc is not OB, but is at an unsafe lie on
a steep slope adjacent to the creek, then you may move your disc, in a direction that is not lower than the lie nor closer to
the basket, to a safe lie, without incurring a penalty stroke.
