Choose your tee time and your card
A flex start lets you choose from the available tee times rather than having every group start together. Register with friends at the same tee time, or sign up solo and let other players join your time.
Check the live registration page for available spaces. If you are planning to play together, coordinate before booking so everyone can select the same time.
A throwback to the original course
The Snowman Open is a throwback to First Calvary’s original course configuration, bringing back the OG basket positions for a 20-hole round. If you have played other layouts here, take a look at the event’s caddy books before your round rather than assuming every basket is where you last played it.
- First Calvary Baptist 20 (OG) caddy book — listed for most players.
- First Calvary Baptist Purple 20 (OG) caddy book — listed for Purple.
Beginners and players at lower skill levels can play the shorter Purple track. It offers a more approachable way to join the tournament. Choose an appropriate division and confirm your assigned tees in the event information or with the tournament director before playing.
All divisions. All skill levels.
We cater to all divisions and skill levels. Whether you are new to tournament disc golf, an experienced amateur, a junior, or a Pro player, there is a place for you at Snowman Open. Women’s and age-protected divisions are available, too.
Choose your division and play for prizes
The registration page lists professional, amateur, women’s, age-protected, and junior divisions. Choose the division that fits your eligibility and review the registration details before completing your entry.
Top amateur finishers across skill levels get to choose their favorite disc golf gear from Gray Duck Disc Golf. You do not have to compete in the highest skill division to play for prizes. Amateur payouts are through Gray Duck Disc Golf. Top finishers in Pro divisions win Venmo prizing. Contact the organizer before the round if you need to request another payment method.
Use the registration form for the current fee total, including any applicable PDGA membership surcharge or checkout fees.
