FYI for those of you planning to wear cleats:
15 of the 18 holes will tee off from a natural surface, three holes will tee off from concrete.

No, you'll be throwing from the world famous sugar pits. The very same sugar pits that give Sugar Land it's name.

Do you guys still need a basket for this tourny? I have one that can be used. Just let me know Eric.

We had a good mix of players out at the course last Saturday to playtest the temp holes. Based on the feedback some tweaks have been made. The final map is in the works.

As with most disc golf courses, but seeming especially true at Imperial Park, the course difficulty will vary depending on what wind strength shows up on the 28th. There are a fair number of birdies out there to be had if you can putt well against the ditch on the early holes, navigate the key trees on the middle holes, and avoid the OB on the temp holes.

You should also have griff summin up the worm hole he is always talking about. That may had some extra effect to the current conditions and layout.

If you're an EasyScorecard Pro user you can download this course layout to the app. Search for "Imperial Park - 18 hole"; if you already have that course downloaded you'll need to refresh it to pick up the tournament tees.
