IOS #120 Oswego Open presented by Fox Valley Metro
Eagle Ridge, Oswego, IL
August 19 & 20, 2023
PDGA 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.
The Fox Valley Metro Disc Golf Club has also enabled this event to be a full B-tier event. Thank you Fox Valley Metro! $750 Added cash for the pro divisions.
This event will be two rounds of 21 holes. All divisions will play one round from the short tees, one round from the long tees.
More details including divisions, entry fees, schedule, etc. can be found on the details page on this site.
