Roads, Curbs and Sidewalks:
Except for specifics listed below, Out of Bounds is "Road surface and beyond."
Sidewalks, curbs and faces of curbs on the in-bounds side of the road is in play. If your disc is leaning on or making contact with the face of an inbound curb, you are inbound.
Grass growing beyond the curb in the road is OB. A disc that strikes the face of a curb inbound and rebounds back into the road is OB and marked one meter in from where the curb was hit. A penalty stroke for OB still applies.
Where there are no curbs or the curb is missing (example: Hole 10 and Hole 15 island), OB begins at the end of the raised sidewalk or at the edge of the grass. Put more simply, treat the surface of the road like it's water. If your disc is entirely surrounded by the surface of the road (or beyond) you are out of bounds.
The 2 meter rule is not in effect.
Hole Specific OB and Course rules:
1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 16, 17, 18 = OB Road surface and beyond.
