Hole Specific
Hole 1: Yards to the right are OB.
Hole 2: Over fence or wire into house lawn or in wooded area is OB.
Hole 16: On/Over walking path along river is OB.
Hole 17: On/Over walking path along river is OB. Drop Zone must be used for throws from the tee that go OB. Path under road is IB. Do not play from the top of the cliff. Casual relief is granted to a safe location back away from edge. For any lie after the initial tee shot a player has the option to take Optional relief and proceed to the drop zone for a one stroke penalty. Lost discs may also use the drop zone with the normal penalty. Since some disc positions result in impossible lies (e.g. when stuck in a crack on the wall face), 1/2m relief (not 1m) is allowed from the cliff wall. Please spot for group behind you before proceeding to Hole 10.
Hole 10: Mando tree is marked with yellow ribbon. Must be right of main trunk. If the disc passes left of the mandatory, play proceeds with penalty from the drop zone or the previous lie.
Holes 13: On/Over walking path along river is OB. Mando tree is marked with caution tape. Must be left of main trunk. If the disc passes right of mandatory, play proceeds with penalty from the drop zone or the previous lie.
Hole 19: All roads are OB. Left and right of Road is OB. The two islands are IB. If your throw goes OB, your next lie is limited to a) the previous lie, b) the last place inbounds for the area/island of your previous lie, or c) the drop zone. Which means if you go OB from the tee, you should go to the drop zone.
