About this tournament

registration will pause at 8pm, Oct 1 as we have now reached the limit of our allowable club allocations under PDGA rules. All remaining spots will be offered on a first in first served basis from 7pm sun Oct 4th. Defending GCO champions may continue to register if they have an invite

This Year we are going to do things differently, One awesome Venue, Four courses catering to all talents and skill levels. Each competition day will see a simultaneous shotgun start on two courses for all Junior, Age Protected Amateur, and MA/FA 2-4 Divisions.

At Noon we will move to Tee Times and open up the unforgiving “Hagley Gold” and a slightly shortened “Amber” layout for Pro, MA1, and FA1 Divisions, creating a unique opportunity to form a gallery and witness the best Disc Golf NZ has on offer.

The event will consist of one Practice day (Thursday) and Three Competition Days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). Indicative Daily timings are 830 - 630pm daily subject to change. Monday is an observed public holiday and reserved for event pack down and player travel.

This will be a PDGA A Tier in addition to an NZDG Major.

Lunch will not be provided, however food trucks will be onsite for your convenience.
