Superior Pines Second Annual Disc Golf Tournament, August 16, 2025
Burt Township School Forest, Grand Marais, Michigan
About the Course:
The Burt Township, Alger County school system built the course in 2011 as a student project on property owned by the school. The course consists of 18 holes with long, scenic tees totaling 5,008 ft in length and a par 58. Last year was the second year for the tournament with 8 participants so there is plenty of room for many more. Last years tournament broke even and this year it is hoped some revenue will be going back to the school. We appreciate your participation and look forward to seeing you in August.

Tournament:
$20.00 entry fee per participant. Two rounds over the same 18 hole course with each round separated by a free lunch consisting of a Coney, or regular hotdog, chips and bottled water. A prorated payout to 25% of the field after the school gets 20% of the gross.
Optional Closest to the Pin:
$2.00/round closest to the pin contest per participant. Play either or both rounds at $2.00/round. Hole #10 (177 ft) in round one and Hole #17 (174 ft) in round two. Payout is 100% of participation fees to the school and winner in each round gets a custom, dyed MVP disc from UP Disc Golf. There will not be any ties in this competition.
Optional Ace Pool:
$5.00 ace pool contest per participant on any of the 18 holes in both rounds. Payout is 80% of the participation fees to the winner and the school receives the balance of 20%. If no winner during the tournament, then a closest to the pin contest is held on hole 19 after the tournament is over. The payout then is 50% to the school and winner gets the other 50%. If a tie, then payout is still 50% to the school and the tied participants equally split the remaining 50%.
Optional Putting Contest:
$2.00 putting contest per participant after the tournament is over. Three chances to make a put from each station on hole 19 or be eliminated (if you miss all 3 chances at the current station, you’re out). If there is a tie on the last station (none of the remaining participants makes the put) a sudden death competition will begin at that same station. During the tie-breaker, the players will alternate single throws until the winners put is made in the fewest attempts. Order of throw will be determined by the pick of the draw. Payout then is 100% of the participation fees to the school and the winner gets a custom, dyed MVP disc from UP Disc Golf. There will not be any ties in this competition
