WARNING
The field has been altered and very few if any flat
targets. Wear ankle supporting hiking shoes and be prepared for a walk of about
1 1/2 miles for the course. Get some exercise in early and walk some stairs or
hills if possible. The course is challenging and more so than in previous years.
NOTE: When entering or exiting the high fence gate, please wait until the gate starts to close before continuing to keep animals from escaping. Management would be highly appreciative!
