What is the disc golf course like at Solitude?
In our opinion, the disc golf course at Solitude is awesome! It is one of the most challenging and fun mountain courses in the nation. The terrain is rugged, so be prepared! And at 8,000 feet in elevation, the weather can change very quickly, too. It can go from cold to hot, sunny to rainy and any combination of the foregoing at a moments notice. There can also be mosquitoes and other insects to pester you, so bring bug repellent. And don't forget the sunscreen!
What if I want to play in a division that doesn't appear to be offered?
We've listed the divisions that we typically fill at our tournaments. However, we're more than happy to add other divisions if there are at least four players in that division. Use the contact form to let us know the division you'd like to play in and we'll work out the details. If we don't have at least four players in that division by the first day of the tournament, we'll move you to the next closest division with at least four players. We'll also offer a "trophy only" option. We'll get back to you on what the registration fee will be.
What's the best way to let other people in the tournament know that I need a place to stay or that I need a ride or whatever?
