About the course

Park in lower lot, 1st tee is up the stairs by the front entrance / mailbox, where we have course maps available. Course is closed on Sunday mornings and/or when funerals are taking place. Loaner disc sets are available just inside the first set of doors at the main entrance to the church, inside a yellow box. Some Course Notes: -New baskets have been installed 5/23/24 -We have a mixture of tee pads marked with tee signs (back right corner of the tee pads or right side where existing surfaces are used). Some are existing concrete or asphalt with the "front of the tee pad" marked with paint, others are outdoor carpet-covered rubber mats. Please feel free to play #13 from either the asphalt (preferred by many) or sidewalk (the tee pad markers are just off the sidewalk). - We have garbage bins available by the bend on #2, after # 4(13), 7 (16) and # 9 (18) on the course, so please help us care for the church property. Mando's (we hope to add signs eventually): Hole 3 - right of the 1st tree Hole 9 - left of the group of 4 birch trees. If you miss the mando, take your penalty stroke and go the the marked drop zone to the left of the two other birch trees (it should make sense when you're there). Recommended "Hazard": All asphalt (Hazard penalty stroke, but play from where the disc lies). When leagues play, this rule is followed. Have fun out there!

There are small arrows you can get that clip to the bottom of the baskets showing which way to the next tee. That would help for signage and make the course easier to navigate. If you were to also make all the tee pads the same material, then the course would be a lot more consistent and consistency Makes the game more fun for others to play.
