Course
The 14-hole course is set on a golf course and the surrounding forests, combining shorter technical wooded holes with open holes.
Temporary Disc Golf Park targets are used for play.
Tees on all holes will be set with artificial turf mats.
The course layout is uploaded to the Udisc app, and you can use it for practice rounds.
As of January 1, 2025, all baskets are installed, except for the tee turf on Hole 1 (new short tee by the road). The baskets on Holes 17 and 18 are currently set in their fixed positions (old baskets) but will be replaced with Disc Golf Park baskets in their exact positions (a few meters away) before the tournament.
The course map can be downloaded in PDF file from this website.
Special rules, approved by the PDGA, are played for hole 8.

Through this group, participants can report if they are late for the player meeting (without personally visiting the Golf House), report CTP results, lost or found items, etc.

The tournament center is located on the ground floor of the Golf House (near Tee 1/Basket 14), where players meeting, gatherings before and after rounds, and the award ceremony will take place.

There is a restroom in the tournament center that participants can use. Due to an issue with one restroom in recent tournaments, only one has been available for both male and female players. Additional restrooms are located in the lobby of the Terme Hotel (250m from the Golf House).
The restroom in the hotel (side entrance near the forest/Hole 1) is also available.

Additional Information
Ace Pool
Players who wish can pay 1€ in cash, which will be placed in a special fund. Players wishing to participate in the Ace Pool must pay 1€ before the start of the first round. If a player hits an ace without paying for the Ace Pool, they are not eligible for the prize.
A player who hits an ace during the tournament wins the entire Ace Pool prize. If two or more players hit an ace during the same tournament, the pool is divided.
If no one hits an ace, the Ace Pool rolls over to the next Lagoda tournament up to a maximum of 100€. Any excess above 100€ is allocated to disc golf course improvements and development.
Before Frosty Hills, the Ace Pool contains 63€.
CTP – Closest to the Pin
The CTP competition takes place across both tournament rounds on two holes, and the player whose disc lands closest to the basket wins.
A measuring tape will be available near the basket for players to measure the distance from the basket to their disc.
To qualify, the distance must be less than 3m, and players must report the result in the official tournament WhatsApp group.
The best player on each CTP hole in each round will qualify for the CTP final, with 4 players advancing.
Players qualifying more than once will have as many throws in the final as the number of CTPs they won.
The final takes place on Sunday after Round 2, where players throw 4 discs toward a target from the Golf House.
The best score wins the CTP competition.
