The Aussie Masters 2026 event is being held at the beautiful Macquarie Woods disc golf course in the Central West of NSW. Located near the village of Vittoria, half way between the regional centres of Bathurst and Orange the course is ideally situated for those travelling from any direction. HQ will be situated in the heart of the campground (follow the signs), with drinks available at HQ, but all players will need to bring their own snacks and food.
The event will take place on two newly modified layouts, based roughly upon the 2025 Central West Cold Snap, with a Division 1 and Division 2 layout, to meet the needs and challenge players of all levels. The event will initially be open to all divisions available to 40+ players, with divisions running to be streamlined two weeks after registration opens, depending upon interest in each division.
The tournament will also incorporate the State of Origin event - a single round state vs state event (featuring one team of "international stars") on the Friday before the event.
The course is situated in the surrounds of the Macquarie Woods Forestry Campground, an extensive but basic bush camping area with toilets on site, as well as free self-sufficient camping for those wishing to camp on-site (you will need to be self-reliant for water, food and power should you wish to do this). But it is the surrounding rolling hills and dense pine forests which are the heart of the event, with a beautiful, technical course featuring tight lines, elevation changes and water-carries to challenge the skills of all players.

Note that players tied for 1st place only in any division are to proceed to a play-off, playing holes 1, 2 & 18 on repeat until a winner is decided. If more than one hole is required tee-off order is to alternate (or rotate in the case of more than two players) with the first to tee off on hole one decided by coin toss.
