WMPO: Know Before You Go – A Guide to ‘The People’s Open’

New Entrance

To help streamline tournament entry and exiting, a new fan entrance will be added on Greenway Hayden Loop, just north of Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard (located in close proximity to 18 tee). This additional entrance is designed to improve crowd flow, particularly during peak hours on high-attendance days like Friday and Saturday. The Greenway Hayden Loop will be closed to general public vehicle traffic from Frank Lloyd Wright to Princess Drive, further streamlining both the entry and exit process.

A prolonged blast on an air horn, repeated once, will indicate that tournament play has been suspended, all attendees should seek safe shelter immediately.

The only place to score an autograph from your favorite TOUR players or celebrities playing in the Annexus Pro-Am is in DESIGNATED autograph zones located near the Driving Range and the cart pad near the Clubhouse. That means no autographs on course. What does “on course” mean? Glad you asked. Anywhere outside of DESIGNATED autograph zones. Oh, and let’s keep the autographs for the kids. Right?
