Open Field
The open course will be set on a field that is actually made up of two adjacent fields totaling more than 80 acres. These irrigated fields of Orchard Grass are used for three cuttings of haylage during the spring and summer months and pasture during the fall. The field slopes up slightly from the post to the setout with a few rolls that will wreak havoc if you find yourself off line on the fetch. There will be room for a 525 yard open outrun, 450 yards on the second leg of the double lift.
