Join Madison County Recreation Department for the 2nd Annual Raiders of the Lost Ace Disc Golf Tournament Fundraiser on Saturday, July 20!
This tournament is specifically raising funds for concrete tee pads on the course.
Duke it out among fellow competitors for your chance to take home the cup and earn bragging rights for the year. Whether you've been playing disc golf for decades or this will be your first exposure to the sport. The course is a mix of open and wooded holes. Whether you're a beginner or an avid player, you'll feel confident in your throws when playing this course.
The tournament will be a doubles competition with a shotgun start at 10:00am. The competitor field will be limited to the first 72 individuals who register which will allow groupings of four to start on each hole and keep pace of play flowing smoothly. Competitors will be asked to provide a self-assigned division at the time of registration. All competitors are automatically entered into a Closest-to-the-Pole competition. Concerns regarding the self-assigned division of another competitor should be emailed to the Tournament Director. Emails should contain detailed justification as to why you're raising concern. The weight of proof lies with the competitor's division of choice. Divisions will not change without a phone call to the competitor.
First place finishers in each division and the winner of the Closest-to-the-Pole competition will receive a cash prize.
Registration fees are $50.00 (includes tournament t-shirt) and have the option to purchase mulligans. All competitors will receive an automatic entry into the Closest-to-the-Pole competition. Registration by July 12, 2024. No registration will be taken on tournament day.

Closest-to-the-Pole (CTP) Details:
Participation in the tournament automatically enters you into the CTP competition. On the day of the tournament, the designated CTP hole will be announced to competitors (sorry, you're going to have to practice the entire course leading up to the tournament instead of just one). A Madison County Rec Department staff or volunteer will be present at the hole to mark competitors' discs with survey flags and take measurements. Measurements will be taken along the ground from the leading edge of the disc to the pole. An ace on the CTP hole wins the CTP competition. Multiple aces or a tie on the CTP will trigger a post-round shootout on the same hole.
Other Pertinent Information:
Please respect the wishes of those on your card during play.
Madison County Recreation Department code of conduct and park rules apply. Please note that MCRD parks are tobacco (look-a-likes and vape included) and alcohol free. Pets are also prohibited.
Course layout for the tournament will be the same as the current 18-hole course layout.
The long tee pad on hole #5 will be used for Advanced, Intermediate, and Recreational divisions, while the short tee pad will be used for the Novice division.
Competitors have the option of throwing from the tee pad or from an area of equal size immediately adjacent to the tee pad. Competitors may make this decision at each hole.
Practice rounds may occur up until Friday, July 19. The course will be closed on the day of the tournament to allow staff to get it "tournament ready."
