Bus Assignments

Bus assignments are done at check-in (Friday 5-7 pm & Saturday 9:30-10:30 am at GameChangers).

Bus assignments are on a first come first serve basis.

We recommend checking in on Friday night if you’d like to have multiple teams assigned to the same bus.

Your entire team doesn’t need to be present at check in, 1 person can represent the team.

Bus Route

Buses will stay on the course route moving from one hole to the next consecutive hole. Players should continue on the course in order from the hole where you begin (i.e. if you begin on hole 4, your next hole is 5, etc.). Buses will follow a route and remain at each hole until the hour, 20 minutes after the hour & 40 minutes after the hour (ex: Noon, 12:20, 12:40, 1:00, 1:20, etc.).

You DO NOT need to stay with any one particular bus. New buses will arrive at each hole as noted above.

At 4:30 pm, all buses will take you DIRECTLY BACK to GameChangers. They will then return back to each hole at 5:00 pm for FINAL TRIPS back to GameChangers.
