About this tournament
2 rounds of play
This is TWO separate ONE-DAY events; and you can play both!
EARLYBIRD REGISTRATION
-----------------------------------------
Early registration for hole sponsors (20 available) opens at 6pm on Saturday, November 8th while general registration opens at 6pm on Monday, November 10th. Earlybird registration is $40/team and will be donated towards our new Hamilton course build at "The Rock".
WAITLIST
---------------
We will hold division caps for 48 hours after general registration, after which we'll pass the spots on to our waitlisters, 2 teams (1 division) at a time based on timing to make complete cards. Preference will be given to divisions with the highest demand.
THE COURSE
Born in Autumn’s golden glow as the King Salmon make their final trek, en masse, up Red Hill Creek; King’s Forest Disc Golf Course represents a poignant slice of Nature’s majesty personified along the beautiful Niagara Escarpment in Southern Ontario. Hamilton’s first seasonal Championship 18-hole course will challenge even Canada’s best golfers from the longs, while offering a graduated, more accessible challenge as player’s move forward to the middle and forward tees.
The ODSA & City of Hamilton have partnered with King’s Forest Golf Club & course designer Chris Ozolins to convert their beautiful property along the Red Hill Valley into a seasonal disc golf masterpiece.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
What better way to launch the 5th season at King’s Forest than competing alongside your best friend! Teams will compete over the course of two rounds of best-shot doubles. Every division will be paid out in cash to the top 25% of teams with $25/team going towards course rental and all raffle/fundraising being used to pay for course infrastructure costs. The restaurant and clubhouse will be open and serving breakfast, lunch & drinks. We’ll also make sure each winning team goes home with a trophy to commemorate their win.
