Fletcher: Fill the available spaces in the parking circle and the gravel lot near Hole 2 first. After these fill up, park along the edge of the grass around the parking circle or in the roped off area along the field near Hole 1 (drive over the curb straight toward the rope).
Carpool if you can!
Restrooms
Minnis: There will be one porta-potty in the parking lot and another between Holes 5 and 8.
Fletcher: There will be two porta-potties between the pavilion and Hole 4, one near Holes 10 and 11, as well as a bathroom facility on the opposite side of the parking lot.
Courtesy
Fletcher Park is a mixed-use park, so please be mindful of and courteous to other park guests. Do not throw off the tee if there are pedestrians on a walking path adjacent to the hole you are playing.
Please be courteous to other players as well! Keep up the pace of play, know when you are out and it's your turn, walk swiftly to your lie, and remember the 30 second rule per the PDGA Rulebook. Official rules are easily accessible on the PDGA Live app.
