In addition, the "Black 9" provides a longer version of the course using the same tees and targets, but in a different order. BLACK 9 (when played as the back 9). Black 9 is also available as a layout in UDisc numbered holes 1 through 9. Hole 10: Tee 1 to Basket 8 Hole 11: Tee 9 to Basket 5 Hole 12. Tee 7 to Basket 3 Hole 13. Tee 4 to Basket 6 Hole 14.

Accessibility
Limited mobility/cane accessible - For the Original 9 layout, holes 1 and 2 are flat and right off the parking lot, so they are accessible. There are no built paths, so moving through grass is always required. There is an elevation shift for hole 3 and also for hole 4, then back up for hole 5. After that, it's flat or downhill for holes 6 through 9.
