I want to play in the tourney but I have a prior engagement that evening. What time do you estimate the play to be done at? Also is the course going to be open to the general public? if so when? I can help you guys clear some brush if you need the help but I don't have great tools.

Is this the park on SW Lawnridge St between SW 10th and SW 12th?

I expect the final round to finish at 330 or 4pm. The course is open to play now! Hole #1 is next to the parking lot. Hole #9 is next to the bathroom. Holes #5 and #7 are not in yet, but the rest of the holes have tee pads and baskets. I will be going around tomorrow (10-24) and putting in tee signs and "next tee-->" signs. Work parties are weekdays at 10am. Let me know if anyone is available, we have tools.

Takena Landing is in Albany on Highway 20. It is directly across the Wilamette River from Bryant Park. It is the second stop light after you cross over the bridge to go to Corvallis.

Heads up: bees coming out of the ground close to the #8 basket.

This course is going to be great, and i applaud the fine folk who put it in.
