Spectator entrance is located off US 2 & 41 –labeled Gate A. It’s the eastern most entrance. So if you’re coming from Escanaba it’s the first gate.

Real-time scoring during the event is found on symetratour.com in the upper right-hand corner of the site. You can also follow this on your mobile devices.

Helpful Spectator notes to pass along to public:

1. Wear sunscreen; sunglasses or visor recommended.
2. Wear comfortable walking shoes or golf spikes.
3. As a general rule no cell phones, pagers or cameras allowed on the course. But people often monitor the “Real-Time Scoring” site on their Smart phones. So if you bring a phone, set it to vibrate setting.

Players are happy to pose for photos and sign autographs only after their rounds. The best time to request autographs are after the player has signed her scorecard.

• There are four sets of Spectator Grandstands located on the north end of the course…by the driving range, the first tee, and the 9th and 18th greens. But you can also bring a chair to sit along the 9th and 18th greens.
