About this tournament
This year Raystown Area Discgolf (RAD) in partnership with the Friends of Raystown Lake present the 2nd Annual Raystown Open!
Since the debut of the 2 courses went so well last year, RAD decided that it might be a good idea to design and debut a 3rd course, Susquehannock Temp! Susquehannock Temp is a RAD designed course that runs through Susquehannock campground. The campground is located near Seven Points Recreation Area and is on one of Raystown Lake's peninsulas. This course is a technical course with tons of lake views and certainly some water hazards. The course uses the beautifully redone tiered campsites throughout the campground to make for some challenging greens and unique holes.
This year there will be 2 days of tournament play, Saturday, April 27th and Sunday, April 28th. Registration for the weekend will be $40.
The registration fee will give you the option to play tournament rounds on Saturday (Ravine 18/Pine 9) OR Sunday (Susquehannock Temp) OR both tournament days.
This is a trophy only event. Placement prizes will be given to single day winners and to the winners of the combined 2 days of tournament play.
Beginning on Friday, April 26th, camping check in will begin. The Pine 9, Ravine 18 and Susquehannock Temp courses will be open for free play and exploration. Disc golf vendors will be set up near Pine Shelter, and a drop in glow golf round will be available for play on the Pine 9 as the sun sets (scores kept on Udisc).
Saturday, April 27th is tournament day 1! Single round tee time tournaments will take place on Pine 9 and Ravine 18 between 830AM and 6PM. Merchandise, food, and coffee vendors will be available. Other activities will include Susquehannock Temp open play, glow golf, award ceremony, and live local music by Strait and Miller at the amphitheater to close out the day's celebration.
Sunday, April 28th is tournament day 2! To close out the weekend RAD will debut Susquehannock Temp (available only 1 weekend a year). This tournament round is available to all registrants from all divisions. The first Tee time will be at 8:30AM and the last will be at 2:30PM.
Susquehannock Temp and combined tournament placement prizes will be announced over social media, and we will work out with the winners pick up or shipping of trophies.
Checkout and cleanup of your campsite is expected by 4PM or after you finish your tournament round. Please leave your campsite in the condition you found it.
