Tee Times are up!

Adam Tauer    December 17, 2021 at 3:04am

I’m a little confused what the “sidewalk river OB” means. Does that mean sidewalk itself is OB, but if you are resting before or beyond the sidewalk that plays in bounds?

Jordan Castro    December 16, 2021 at 11:29pm

This update will also be on disc golf scene for players who’s email isn’t listed.

I listed the final course map below.

There are white lines out on the course. Don’t worry about those. Our lines are painted in orange. Tee pads are also painted in orange. Tee off between the lines and wherever is safe. Group Consensus. 

The layout is on Udisc under Vista Del Camino.

The Island, Drop Zones and Tee Pads have been marked.

Everybody will be playing the same tee pad except for on Hole 21 the final hole. The Dam Hole. 

Ma2 and Ma3 will play the Short pad. The Short Pad is also the Drop Zone. 

We did sidewalk as a river because we know there are players who may not be able to throw as far as others. 

If you have any questions, please let me know and you can always throw a provisional to make a call.

If I contacted you about a basket, please bring it. If others have a basket and want to bring it, we can definitely take them and will use them for practice baskets.
