COURSE

Please note that parking is ONLY allowed on the road side, only organisers holding a special permit can drive on the grass.
Description: If you have already been to Őrség Open, then you know what to expect, the course will be the same as in previous years, maybe some smaller changes will be administered depending on how the farmlands look like. If you have not yet been to Őrség, then please expect an agricultural/forest landscape, in the heart of a national park, with tight wooded holes, long crushes, and some holes where finesse is required to score well.
Facilities: We will have tournament tents at the course to keep us safe from the sun and the rain (if any), and some benches where we can chill between, before and after rounds. Two refreshment and medical stations will help us stay hydrated and safe.
Map: The course map is almost the same as last year with some minor changes – map will be available soon.
