Overall

You may select a tee time. 10 to 12 players will be allowed to tee off per hour. A round of PinGolf will take approximately 1&1/2 to 2 hours to complete. If you have other plans for the day, email me and let me know what time you would like to tee off. Anytime between 1PM and 6PM is fine. Green fees are $20.

PinGolf Rules:

1.Each player will complete one 18 hole round of PinGolf

2.Each "PinHole" has a target score. The number of balls it takes to reach the target score will represent the "PinStrokes" for each hole.

3.The maximum number of PinStrokes per hole is 8. If the player doesnt reach the target score after playing 7 balls, the player will receive an 8 and move on to the next PinHole.

4.Extra balls are to be played, and do not count as PinStrokes. Extra balls are turned off wherever possible.

5.On the final hole (No Good Gofers), there is a skill shot opportunity for a hole in one. Before plunging, call the scorekeeper over to witness the attempt. If the shot is made, play will immediately stop, and the player will be given a score of 1 for the hole. If the skill shot is missed, play continues until the target score is reached or until all strokes have been played. Anyone who sinks their initial hole in one attempt on the 18th hole will receive a No Good Gofers promo plastic/key fob.

6. There is a water hazard on hole 5 (TSPP). If a player does not reach the target score after 5 strokes, the player will be considered to be "in the water" and assessed one penalty stroke. The players points will be recorded, and he/she will be allowed to play one more stroke to try accumulate enough remaining points to reach the target score. If successful, a "7" will be scored. If not, an "8" will be recorded.

All games are set up to knock when the target score threshold is reached.
