Jake Harris Jan 8 On the drone footage, is 4 correct? I'm not familiar enough to know numbers. I thought it was the basket across the walking path. Sorry....just wanna be sure.
Chris Sutherland Jan 8 Yes, noted below in other sticky post.
Larry Burge Sticky Made a few minor changes to the course layout. Slightly different OB lines on 8. Back to the tower position for 9 and now it is an island. Hole 13 is now just Lakeside 12. Dec 6
Larry Burge Dec 18 Another minor change. Monster Hole 4 will now play from Parkside 10 to Parkside 14 short. The basket has been moved and the map and layout info has been updated.

Bo McLaughlin Dec 30 It’s normal OB rules, no drop zone. If you cross the island at any point you get to advance to that point to putt
Larry Burge Dec 30 As Bo said, normal OB rules. There is no drop zone. It is only 150' or so from the sidewalk to the nearest in bounds portion of the green.
Jake Harris Played this past weekend for a practice round, and I noticed that the mando tree on 16 seemed to be in a different position than what the map shows. Is it the painted tree? or the tree to the far left? Dec 30
Larry Burge Dec 30 It is the marked tree on the far right. A little easier this year. Leaves you with the option of the skinny straight gap.
Ben Rowe are all divisions playing the monster 2026 layout? https://udisc.com/courses/sparkman-park-tA3t/layouts/150263/caddie-book Dec 27
Larry Burge Dec 27 Yes. The Monster has no chill...or short pads.
