“The Par-3 tournament has every hole set up as a short hole instead of from its regular tee box,” said Don Kramer, Moose Run general manager. “Par-3 means, for a [practice] golfer, you should make it in three shots. Everything is less than 200 yards. We’ll set up all 18 holes in that fashion. It’s a different type of event people don’t normally get to play.”
Moose Run hosts a variety of different events throughout the year, each with its own set of rules and play style; the Par-3 tournament is no exception.
“It’s a four-person scramble, so that means – say I was on a team – the four of us would tee up and hit the shot,” Kramer said. “Whoever hits the best shot – then everybody will tee off from where that shot landed. You’re always playing from whoever hit the best shot on the team. You play that way until the ball is in the hole.”
Participants can bring their own clubs and golf balls, both are available for purchase or rent at the course.
“We have everything you need to participate,” Kramer said. “We have standard rentals and plenty of premium rental clubs.”
Golf balls are also available to be purchased on-site, but due to their tendency to go missing, are not available for rent. Club rentals are not included in the event price.
“The cost includes green fees, cart fees, and lunch from Grizzly Grill; we’ve got a pretty diverse menu. For this kind of thing we will usually set up food buffet-style,” Kramer said.
Because this tournament is limited to Par-3 layouts, it provides a unique opportunity for beginners to explore golf in a structured environment.
“We’ll put them in different flights by ability,” Kramer said. “Then there will be gross and net prizes. Gross meaning without considering the flight’s handicap.”
For people who may have never touched a club in their life, Moose Run can help provide a strong foundation to work with.
“If you’re new to golf, the best thing you can do is get some instruction,” Kramer said. “I know people who play golf all their life and haven’t gotten any better until they decide to start taking lessons at 50, 60 years old.
“Come see our teaching professionals and let them give you some lessons.”
