Welcome to the 35th Annual Columbus Ice Bowl!



The Columbus Flyers thank you very much for participating in our first tournament for the 2026 season. Like in previous years, the Columbus Ice Bowl is a sanctioned XC-Tier benefitting the Mid-Ohio Food Collective. We will be accepting direct donations of food and money throughout the tournament and we greatly appreciate whatever you can spare to help the food insecure in our city.


We will have several ways to purchase items in order to assist our charitable cause. We will have a vast array of products for sale at cheap prices and we will also have Brent Rosen’s famous wheel on site for a chance at fabulous prizes. $5/spin will earn you a guaranteed prize and you might even win a raffle ticket towards 3 prizes of large financial value. Prizes include free Flyers membership for 2027, a free Flyers tournament entry, cloth baskets, and 3 brand new Hexagons courtesy of Six Sided Discs!


Lastly, if you are interested in joining our club and haven’t done so already, we will have a quick way to sign up during the tournament. All folks that sign up during the tournament will receive a free Columbus Flyers hat and a free spin of the prize wheel just for signing up.



Your tournament director for the Columbus Ice Bowl is Andrew Hypes. Before the tournament, please direct all questions to [email redacted] and during the tournament do not hesitate to reach out to Andrew at any point for any clarification you may require. No question is too small or niche in the pursuit of competition and fun.


All competitors will be required to keep score during play, no exceptions. We will have paper scorecards on hand should you require them. If you are able to download the PDGA Live app, please do so. The PDGA Live code for this tournament is bowl2026. With this passcode, you are already able to log into the tournament page where you can find hole pars, distances and OB particulars.





General Tournament Info



Registration will be open from 8:30-9:30 at the pavilion across the street from hole #A. When there, John Bumpus will be handling check-in for all competitors. Once that is completed, proceed to the merchandise center where we will be selling all sorts of Flyers memorabilia as well as handing out Player’s Pack discs. 9:30 is a hard deadline. If you are not in line to check-in by 9:30, you could very easily be denied entry into the tournament. We will conduct a short player’s meeting at 9:35.


Play will start at 10 AM sharp. We will have tee assignments up on the PDGA page for this tournament Friday evening, but please make sure of your starting hole at check-in since last minute additions/drop outs are always a thing.


Since Hoover is currently a state recognized wetlands for the weekend, you have the option to tee to the side of any tee should you consider that the safe option. Please don’t wipe out and hurt yourself in the name of a local C-Tier.


After play hopefully wraps up around 1 PM, we invite you to join us back at Tournament Central for an awards ceremony and an address from the Flyers staff themselves. If you didn’t play well and want to get out of potentially adverse weather, we get it. But if you could stick around for another 30-45 minutes after the round to hear what we’re striving towards, we would be eternally grateful.










Course Particulars



We want to make the OB rules as simple as possible for this tournament while not being too easy. Good rule of thumb is if you are on any blacktop road or beyond, you are OB. This OB comes into play on holes #1, #2, #4, #6, #7, #9, #A, #B, #C, #E, #F, #H, #i, #15, #16, #17 and #18.


The only other OB on the course is on #9. If you are surrounded by water in the depression on the right side of the hole, you are OB. Please treat any/all standing water there as OB and take your drop from where you went in. Additionally, the gravel paths on #9 and #H and the culvert on #8 are NOT OB. I would not advise you throw in that direction for competitive reasons, but you will not be penalized stroke-wise should you find yourself there.


We will have water bottle stations set up on holes #9 and #F as well as at Tournament Central. It is always imperative to hydrate so please make sure to take advantage of these stations and delegate water should your cardmates oblige.
