Saturday March 25th: FPO, MP40, MP50, MA1, MA3, FA1, FA3, MA50
Sunday March 26th: MPO, MA2, MA4, FA2, FA4, MA40

Course: Highland Park in Joliet, IL

After careful consideration, we are eliminating hole 1 for this weekend. The fairway and greens around both baskets are extremely mucky and under water. You will continue to play hole 2 after hole 18.

In replacement, after hole 10 to A pin you will continue to 11’s long pad and play to 10’s B pin before you continue to 11 white to A pin. Please yield when appropriate between these three holes.

While there are many different temp holes that could be made, this decision was made with respect to the safety of all players and not forcing a natural tee pad to be used under the conditions this weekend.
