Apparently, Timmy sent the sanctioning forms on Friday so we should see it on the PDGA schedule in a week or so.

Nice courses.... but the Hyland Hills confuses me a bit
It is very long, and rather difficult... but compared to the other two? doesn't quite seem to fit in. Would think Bryant Lake
Or is that more of an am course?

I have yet to play Hyland, it was closed by the time we decided we wanted to give it a try last fall. Bryant would be a good course to play, but I feel there aren't enough skill requiring holes there.

Hyland is actually the easiest by 2-3 throws of the three courses which are set as 27 hole layouts for the Majestic. It's used because it's one of the best venues in the coutnry for a pro final round and Final 9 with the ski chalet, beer sales (main sponsor), easy viewing of play on the hillsides for spectators and just all around fine facilities like one would expect at a basic ball golf country club.
If you'd like to see the Final 9 of the 2009 Majestic at Hyland, check out this 7-minute video I prepared:

Westside players pretty much have Bryant Lake figured out. Very easy for a pro to shoot 8-12 under because it has very wide alleys. It is a great course, do not get me wrong, but if you are a consistent player, the only challenge that you might face is if it is a windy day. Westside Wednesdays are out there once every three weeks and scores are always very close amongst the competitors.
Hyland on the other hand can be a real monster because of the extreme elevation changes. Add the additional 9 temporary holes to make it an official 27 hole course and this round is just as much about endurance as it is about your actual skill. Holes 14 and 17 become almost pure frustration if you are tired. Two years ago it was 90+ degrees out. Thankfully they stocked free water every third to fourth hole.
I like Hyland for the challenge, especially if I like to punish myself in hopes that one day I will have a decent round there, but I would not play a simple Rec round at Hyland. Bryant, however, only has a few spots that can really punish you if you are just throwing and not really trying too hard.
I am waffling but will probably play the Majestic again this year. The first year I went Intermediate and was competitive. Last year I was forced into Advanced because they really restricted the Intermediate numbers. It was more of a learning experience than having last year; that took a little of the enjoyment out of it because there were plenty of people who played advanced who normally play open in leagues. I do not have a real problem with that but there a few people who do have issues and sometimes I get grouped with them on day two or three.

which courses does INT play? all 3 i hope.
Hyland is definitely the easiest of the 3. elevation/distance is really the only challenges. kaposia has elevation, distance, and tight fairways. BRP has distance, tight fairways, and unique lines. wind is a factor on all three allthough more so on hyland. the only holes at hyland that are truly challenging are the uphill beasts. even rec players can reach most of the long downhills. in combination they are one heck of a test of someones overall skills.

Do you still have to pay the course fees or is that included/taken out of the equation?

Course fees are included in the entry fee. No pre-reg started yet. Must be a PDGA member. Ams of any rating can play up into Advanced although Intermediate is usually offered.
