IOS #98 – Oswego Open
Eagle Ridge, Oswego, IL
August 24 & 25, 2019
PDGA C/B Tier
Eagle Ridge is the home course of the Fox Vally Metro Disc Golf Club. We’d like to thank them along with the Oswegoland Park District for continually improving this course. The tight woods challenge players to keep it in the fairway and the open holes gives players a breather before heading back into the woods. The elevated pin on hole 9 has tested many players nerves while putting.
This event will be two rounds of 19 holes.
More details including divisions, entry fees, schedule, etc. can be found on the details page on this site.

Divisions
Usually the women’s divisions are split between Saturday and Sunday. The IOS wants to support the Feather Frenzy event on Saturday August 24 that is part of the Midwest Women’s Disc Golf Tour. So for the Oswego Open, ALL WOMENS DIVISIONS will play on Sunday August 25.
| Saturday | Sunday |
|---|---|
| Open (MPO) | Pro Women (FPO) Pro Masters (MP40) Pro Grandmasters (MP50) |
| Am II (MA2) Am IV (MA4) | Am I (MA1) Am III (MA3) |
| Am Women I (FA1) Am Women II (FA2) Am Women III (FA3) Am Women IV (FA4) |
|
| Adv Masters (MA40) Advanced Grand Master (MA50) Advanced Sr GrandMaster (MA60) |
|
| Juniors < 16 (MJ15) |
A note on amateur divison names: The IOS team feels that the traditional division names (Advanced/Intermediate/Recreational/Novice) can be misleading. We will instead refer to them as AM I, AM II, AM III, and AM IV. See the FAQ page for more info.
