AM Players Pack- This is being finalized now. But know we put players pack items in at cost and not at retail for this event. The players pack will likely be a mix of discs and swag. Stay tuned for more announcements as we get stuff finalized with this.

We expect this event to fill really quick as the continued A tier status brings even more of an elite status to what already is one of the premier events in the Northwest. Please consider purchasing a tee sign to support the event and make sure you get to play. In the past MPO, MP40 and MA1 have filled in under a minute. Some of the other divisions can take 3-5 minutes to fill. Don't take a chance on missing out.

There are still a few campsites (as of April 8th) available, but the tournament staff are not responsible to help with camping reservations. Please visit the following website to book your site. Please remember check out is 11:00am, if you don't reserve Sunday evening, you will need to be out of your campsite fully before your final round. Pro tip, just book Sunday night too!

Amateur side of the event will be players pack only, we will make sure players get HOOKED UP in value and will be playing for trophies per the PDGA trophy guidelines which can be found here.

Each division must pay out a minimum number of trophies as listed below. TDs may offer more trophies than the minimum at their discretion. For the purposes of acquiring and awarding trophies, TDs may specify a cutoff date for determining how many trophies each division will get, so long as that date is no more than two weeks prior to the start of competition.
One player: no trophy required.
2-4 players: 1st place only.
5-12 players: 1st and 2nd place.
13+ players: 1st through 3rd place.
Pro side of the event will be playing for paypal payouts and trophies for 1st place in each division.


Divisions that have zero sign ups by April 20th will be eliminated due to PDGA policies except FPO, FA1, MA1 and MPO if they somehow don't have anyone in them.

Fees- The park is $750/day for us to reserve the course, so $2250 for the three day event. Judging by a field of 200 players we will be splitting that evenly amongst all players for a total of $11.25/player. This amount will vary depending on the number of players who actually end up playing that weekend.

Pass through fees (Course Reservation Fees & Water) Estimated $14/person
PDGA A Tier Fee $5/Player
TD Fee $5/player- help cover the costs of course markings and trophies

Pro players will play for their share of $3000 added cash plus the roughly $126 that remains after the pass-through fees.
AM Players Pack- We will put the remaining $76 towards players pack items!

We are always fully transparent with where your money goes for our event! We want to make sure this event is a must play each summer and the player experience is a key factor to that.

We are not doing division caps or holds for this event. Simply put, the first 108 pros and 100 am players to sign up are in, regardless of specific division.

As a note, all refunds will be charged a $10 handling fee as outlined in the PDGA refund policy at a minimum. I UNDERSTAND NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN AFTER MONDAY, JULY 14TH, 2026.
