The maps are very helpful and we thank you and your hard work!! Do you have a map for heritage? I’ve tried to look it up with not much success and I’m least familiar with that course. Again, thank you all for your hard work and looking forward!!

Hi Joshua - thanks for your interest in the Kansas City Wide Open! The map for Heritage is not quite finished yet - the mapmaker anticipates it being finished this weekend.

Is there a planned date for when the pins at Water Works and Bad Rock will all be in the tournament layouts?

Do you know when Cliff drive will be set for tournament layout?

Thanks! Flags were really helpful today. 18 ????????????????
Michael Krueger

Hole 18 is a 1001 foot uphill finishing hole from 11 pad to 12 short basket. That way I can watch people start, and I can watch people finish. And, I can watch people approach 9. So much fun for me!

Do you know when Cliff drive will be set for tournament layout?
Josh Barnett August 29, 2021 at 3:39am
What layout are we playing at Heritage? ma2
Jayson W August 18, 2021 at 3:25pm
This might be a rules question (I gotta study up!) but is there anything we need to do regarding caddies? Can they just join the players, or do they need to sign up somewhere?
Michael Krueger
August 18, 2021 at 3:33pm
They do not need to sign up. One thing about caddies - they have to follow PDGA rules as well. If a caddy engages in behavior that can be penalized, the player is penalized for the caddy's actions.
James Barry July 30, 2021 at 3:19am
For Bad Rock Creek, will we be playing the Gold layout?
Michael Krueger
July 30, 2021 at 6:35pm
No, it won't be the Gold layout, but it will be quite similar to the Gold layout. We will make an announcement about course layouts soon, but know for now that Hole 5 gold will NOT be used.
Darian Thomas June 17, 2021 at 3:35am
Will there be cuts? Or you get to play the whole weekend?
Darby Slaughter June 5, 2021 at 7:13pm
We only need to be available Friday-Sunday, correct? Getting one day free is either than getting a whole week off.
A little confused what Monday-Thursday are for in general.
Chris Graves
June 5, 2021 at 7:25pm
The events going on Mon-Thurs are separate c tier flex start tournaments. Good way to practice the courses if you’re available during that time. Thursday at waterworks you can get your players packs. Actual rounds are fri-sun.
Andrew Clark May 23, 2021 at 1:25am
Any idea on player pack contents yet?
Jerry Patterson
May 23, 2021 at 12:50pm
Yes! I just nailed down the players pack friday. Expect an announcement in the near future!
Tyler Grosinsky May 20, 2021 at 7:10pm
Probably a "no" on this due to the size of this event...but would I be able to be on the same card as a buddy of mine that is from out of town?
Tyler Grosinsky
June 9, 2021 at 8:26pm
Hey Jerry! My buddy from out of town is signed up and is in the same division as myself. Could Jeff Gunter (Jr.) and I get on the same card? Thanks!
Mario Ortiz May 18, 2021 at 12:14pm
What if we can’t get to water works for the player packs on Thursday?
Jerry Patterson
May 18, 2021 at 12:55pm
We have a plan in place where the Players Pack will be at one of the courses you play during the event.
Alejandro Olmo-Payton May 12, 2021 at 6:16am
so are the flex starts leading up to the weekend rounds be included in the registration for the main tournament or will those be registered as separate events similar to the “KCWO challenges” last year?
Jerry Patterson
May 12, 2021 at 10:55am
These are separate C tier flex starts leading up to the main event!
James Barry May 4, 2021 at 3:20pm
How would MJ18 play with school?
Michael Krueger
May 10, 2021 at 4:40pm
You make a good point. A cool parent would let their child have a day off from school, though. ;-)
Caleb Evans May 4, 2021 at 12:28pm
Will there be a cap on players? If so, when will be it be posted?
‘Oz’ Oswalt April 14, 2021 at 9:20pm
What are the best bbq spots near the courses? I'm really looking forward to eating some great bbq while in town. I wanna do this when I'm at my hungriest which will be right after getting done disc golfing and I won't wanna wait long while driving across town. So I'm looking for a nice combination of quality and proximity to the dg courses. Obviously I'm only playing 3 courses but we might as well do all 5 for everyone. Thanks.

You gotta stop by Kansas City Joes at some point. Z-man,rocket pig and fries are 10/10
Jerry Patterson
April 15, 2021 at 3:11pm
Looks like you are in A pool. 3 Halves Brewery in BBQ is excellent near Bad Rock in Liberty. Cliff and WW are really close together, I reccomend KC Joes.

I've already signed up so we're can my daughter go to sponsor a hole or two
