Taupō Disc Golf are excited to announce details for the 2025 Taupō Classic, coming back bigger and better than last year! This three-day event is proud to be the feature event of the 2025 Tour Down Under season. It is also sanctioned by both the PDGA (this year an A-Tier for both Pro and Ams) and NZDG (50 pointer). The Pro divisions will be playing for an estimated $10,000 purse.
Taking place at the world class and upgraded Spa Park (ranked #61 in the world), this 54-hole tournament is initially limited to 120 competitors and will feature the most challenging layout we have presented to date. This is our club's premier annual event, and we are expecting top level professionals from overseas and across New Zealand to compete. Accordingly, the registration schedule will be structured using ratings-based tiers, to allow us to accommodate the strongest possible field.
Format
All divisions: Three 18 hole rounds, one round per day, tee times.
Group 1 (MPO, MP40, MP50, MA1) will play the 'Gold' layout: Par 61, 2570m (8432ft).
Group 2: (FPO, FA1, MA40, FA40, MA50, MA2) will play the 'Blue' layout: Par 66, 2335m (7660ft).

Two temporary championship level layouts will be built for this event. They are similar to those used for the 2024 Taupō Classic, however we have incorporated a number of changes after learnings from that event and player feedback. A caddy book detailing them will be released in December.
Player Pack & Prizes
All amateur entries will receive a player pack. This will have a range of goodies, including a hole in one party voucher and two lunch vouchers for use throughout the event. There will again be a stacked prize table up for grabs.
