About this tournament
Nationals will see competitors flock to Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, for a 4-day tournament, 3-6 February 2024. Anticipated to be the largest event in NZ history, this PDGA A-Tier boasts over 300 players spread across three venues, with a projected pro purse of NZD$30,000.
____
Introducing our venues:
Competitors will face the ultimate challenge at Bella Rahka, renowned as New Zealand’s toughest course. Set among of native New Zealand bush, Bella Rahka requires professional players to exhibit excellence in both line and length. A shorter and more forgiving layout will be installed here for maximal enjoyment of our Amateurs, Novice and Juniors competitors.
The serene and picturesque Redwoods GC will offer a refreshing contrast for our professionals with its lush meadows. Join us and explore Redwoods every Thursday this spring season at our Redwoods Twilight League. Click here for details: https://www.facebook.com/winodiscgolf/events
Our amateur, novice and junior players will enjoy a new purpose built course in the Oratia area less than 500m from Bella - The course is set in an old orchid and has a nice balance of short / long and technical / open with some good elevation change. A tough but fun test of skill.
