Permanent courses are always there, so you can do them any time - no need to wait for an organized meet or training session.  Just draw your own course or, if using UsynlignO (see below) select a course to print on the map, and you'll know when you've made it to the right check point.  For beginners a permanent course helps you learn basic skills and get a feel for the sport.  An advanced orienteer can use it to practice advanced techniques or get in some terrain intervals. We offer three types of permanent course maps:

​

• Greasewood Park - a map with permanent concrete monuments located in the terrain.

• University of Arizona - maps with well-described terrain features that you answer questions to confirm you are in the right location.

• UsynligO - various maps of courses near Tucson that you can navigate with a phone app without flags or markers.

​

These permanent course maps can be accessed and are described in more detail below.
