Guests only - paid facility balls, facility clubs, and waiver required
Purchase facility balls for the $5,000 Hole-in-One Challenge.
The Hole-in-One Challenge at Luray Yurt is played from the posted shoreline platform toward the floating island hole in the private pond. These official rules summarize the posted signs, house rules, waiver terms, purchase rules, safety requirements, prize eligibility, and claim process guests must follow before taking a shot. To qualify, a facility ball must finish in the regulation cup as the target sits during play. Wind, waves, target movement, distance, bounce, water level, and pond conditions are part of the challenge; participants may not touch, move, anchor, retrieve, inspect, or adjust the target or pond setup.

Purchase and access
- Guests must scan the posted QR code, complete the activity waiver, purchase facility balls, and use the assigned box before playing.
- Packages are 20 facility balls for $49 or 45 facility balls for $99.
- Each purchase is tied to one booking, one purchaser name, and one assigned box. Box codes are for the current stay only and may not be reused, resold, transferred, shared publicly, or saved for a future stay.
- Unused balls do not roll over to a future stay. Purchased balls must be used only during the current booking and only for the Hole-in-One Challenge.
- All sales are final after a valid box code is delivered, except when a Nomad-controlled equipment, lock, box, code, or access issue prevents play before any shot is taken. If Nomad confirms a qualifying access issue before play starts, Nomad may provide a replacement code or refund the affected purchase.
- Guests must verify box contents before the first shot and report missing balls, broken locks, damaged boxes, unsafe equipment, damaged clubs, target issues, or camera issues before play starts or continues.
- Disputes about missing balls, box contents, or equipment condition after play begins may be denied if Nomad cannot verify the issue.
Eligibility and prize limits
- Prize eligibility is limited to overnight guests and people expressly invited by the booking guest during that stay.
- Random visitors, drive-up participants, neighbors, social-media visitors, or anyone not connected to the booking guest are not prize-eligible.
- Every participant must complete the required waiver before playing.
- The winner must be at least 18 years old to receive the cash payout directly. If a minor makes a verified winning shot, payout is made only to the parent or legal guardian after verification and required tax paperwork.
- Current or former professional golfers, collegiate golfers, golf coaches, instructors, or paid golf trainers are not eligible for the prize.
- Each booking is eligible for one verified prize win. Each participant is eligible for one claim review per booking.
- Nomad may deny prize eligibility if identity, booking connection, waiver status, purchase record, assigned box, or eligibility cannot be verified.
Equipment and valid attempts
- Facility balls only. Personal balls are not allowed and void prize eligibility.
- Facility clubs only. Personal clubs, training aids, automated launchers, rangefinders, alignment sticks, modified clubs, or other non-Nomad equipment are not allowed.
- Play only from the posted platform. Shots from grass, shoreline, dock, deck edge, boats, kayaks, or any other location do not qualify.
- One golfer may stand on the platform at a time. Everyone else must stay behind the safety line until the platform is clear.
- A valid prize attempt is one clean strike of one facility ball from the posted platform using a facility club.
- Mulligans, dropped balls, re-hit balls, or second strikes of the same ball do not create a valid prize attempt.
- Guests must inspect the platform, club, and immediate surroundings before play and stop if conditions appear unsafe.
Safety and pond rules
- Stop play immediately if people, pets, boats, kayaks, wildlife, vehicles, or equipment enter the shot path or danger area.
- Stop play immediately during lightning, thunder, high winds, heavy rain, poor visibility, darkness, or other unsafe conditions.
- No alcohol on the platform during challenge play. No glass containers near the platform, dock, boxes, locks, boats, kayaks, or pond.
- No unsafe swings and no shots toward people, pets, buildings, vehicles, cameras, equipment, neighboring property, or privacy-sensitive areas.
- No swimming, ball retrieval, kayaking, boating, or water entry while challenge play is active. The pond is closed to boats and kayaks during active challenge play.
- Do not enter the pond to inspect, retrieve, stage, move, or confirm any ball.
- Do not touch, move, anchor, rotate, adjust, shake, splash, or interfere with the floating target, cup, flagstick, anchors, chains, cameras, internet equipment, boxes, locks, balls, clubs, signage, or pond setup.
- No one may stand near the target, distract shooters, create waves, shake anchors, splash water, or interfere with a shot.
- Follow all posted signs, house rules, waiver terms, booking terms, and host instructions.
Winning shot and camera eligibility
- To qualify for prize review, a facility ball must finish in the regulation cup on the floating island target.
- Hitting the green, target, flagstick, cup rim, cup edge, platform, water, or any non-cup surface is not a winning shot.
- The shot must be made from the posted platform with one clean strike using a facility club and facility ball.
- The shot must occur no later than 30 minutes after the official local sunset time for that date unless Nomad expressly opens a supervised night-play window in writing.
- If cameras are down, blocked, offline, misaligned, too dark, or otherwise unable to support verification, play is casual-only and not prize-eligible until Nomad restores prize eligibility.
Claims, review, and payout
- Prize claims must be emailed to Nomad within 12 hours of the claimed shot.
- Claims must include guest name, booking details, approximate shot time, assigned box number or color, and any phone video.
- Participants should preserve the assigned box, lock, remaining balls, and club until Nomad completes review.
- Guest phone video, drone footage, social videos, bystander statements, or witness claims may help review but never replace Nomad verification.
- Nomad may review CCTV, purchase records, waiver records, box assignment, facility-ball status, target condition, physical cup inspection, guest-submitted video, witness statements, and booking records.
- If available footage is unclear, Nomad may physically inspect the cup and target before approving or denying the claim.
- Claims are reviewed within 14 days and are not paid instantly. Nomad's decision is final after reasonable review.
- Approved prize payouts are made by ACH, wire, or paper check. Winner must complete identity verification and any required tax paperwork before payout.
- Prize payment timing begins only after Nomad approves the claim and receives required payout and tax information. Any approved claim remains subject to applicable law.
Disqualification and pilot rules
- Fraud, tampering, unsafe play, false statements, altered evidence, camera interference, equipment interference, or rule violations void purchase eligibility and prize eligibility.
- A claim may be denied or revoked if rules were violated, evidence is inconclusive, fraud is suspected, verification cannot be completed, or the participant otherwise failed to follow posted rules.
- Nomad may close, suspend, or convert the challenge to casual-only play for weather, maintenance, camera outages, target issues, pond conditions, safety concerns, property damage, suspected abuse, or operational reasons.
- Pricing, hours, prize eligibility, equipment, verification standards, and rules may change during the pilot period as Nomad gathers real operating data.
- The current rules in effect at the time of purchase and play govern the challenge.
Privacy and legal terms
Challenge cameras are exterior-only and focused on areas needed for safety and prize verification, including the platform, pond approach, and target area. No cameras are inside the yurt or positioned to cover the hot tub, sauna entry, or other privacy-sensitive guest areas.
