Above + below: We settled on this layout, adding a "medallion" for the hole number to ensure readability for players as they approach from the previous hole. This also opened up space on the main sign, allowing us to increase the size of the map. For holes with multiple tee locations, we added verbiage specifying this on the medallions to prevent confusion for players unfamiliar with the course layout.
