IOS #123 Northwood Open
Northwood, Morton, IL
May 4-5, 2024
PDGA B Tier
Northwood Park is a disc golf destination with two championship level courses. The Black course, aptly named to describe a scratch (ie, par) round of disc golf that would equate to an approximate 1020 rating, is a beast of course measuring nearly 11,000′ from the long tees. The Blue course (sometimes known as the OG course) while not as challenging as the Black course still challenges many players with a great woods course. This event will give players the opportunity to play one of the best properties in the midwest.
$750 Added cash for pro divisions.
