All tee pads are in a stable condition. They are limestone base with rubber mats secured above them. Do not pull back the rubber to throw from the base, you will create pitting and increase the chance of injuries. We have spent weeks finding the best solution and look forward to you enjoying the status!
There are a lot of muddy areas on the course, we have laid tons of straw to solidify paths and the entire course is accessible without much issue.
All obs are marked with string or paint. For holes with drop zones (11 and 13), if your DRIVE does not come to rest in bounds, you move to the drop zone with a penalty stroke. If your second or third shots go OB the OB is played normally, marking your lie the last place your disc was in bounds.
Obs are as follows:
Hole 2 - Right side of the fairway, swamp marked with string
Hole 3 - River deep of basket, completely surrounded by water
Hole 4 - River to right of tee, road deep of basket, marked with string
Hole 5 - Completely surrounded by water
Hole 6 - road deep and turn around are OB, marked with string
Hole 7 - completely surrounded by water
Hole 9 - Parking lot, marked with string
Hole 11 - Path deep of basket, the river on left. If tee shot does not come to rest in bounds, move to drop zone. All shots other than tee are dealt with as normal OB with being marked the last place the disc was in bounds
Hole 12 - Completely surrounded by water
Hole 13 - Completely surrounded by water. If your TEE shot does not come to rest in bounds, proceed to the drop zone. all shots after tee shot are normal OB with being marked the last place the disc was in bounds.
Hole 15 - Completely surrounded by water
Hole 16 - Completely surrounded by water, deep left of basket. Water to the right of the fairway is casual water, take relief via flight path.
Hole 17 - Completely surrounded by water, and in or over the river. Water in the fairway to the right of the straw laden path is casual water, take relief via the flight path.
