2023 Taupo-nui-a-Tia Disc Golf Classic - NZDG North Island Championships - Presented by Discmania

Taupō Disc Golf and Disc Shop Disc Golf are proud to announce details of the 2023 Taupo-nui-a-Tia Disc Golf Classic, which will double as the 2023 NZDG North Island Championships and be presented by Discmania. This three day event is sanctioned by both the PDGA (A-Tier) and NZDG (Major).

We are very excited to be able to play on both the world class Spa Park course, and return to the Taupō Golf Club for our Event HQ and a modified and expanded 21 hole layout on the Tauhara course. Our new format will allow us to host a field of close to 300 entrants, making this one of the largest celebrations of Disc Golf that New Zealand has ever seen. Come along and be part of the action! More details will be released shortly, so keep an eye on our website (www.taupodiscgolf.com) and event Facebook pages (https://fb.me/e/2byRVGjwF).

If you would like to help with this event (as a sponsor, volunteer, accommodation provider, or in some other way) we would love to hear from you! Please contact us at [email redacted].

Registration is now closed ... Time to get your game face on people!!!

Having people with similar abilities in the same divisions makes for great competition. As a guide, you may want to consider the following when choosing which (non aged based) division to enter: MPO above 930, MA1 above 900, MA2 above 800, MA3 below 800. It also helps the event flow smoothly as hole difficulty (via layout options) can be matched appropriately.

Please note that PDGA membership through to the end of 2023 is required (as per international A-Tier requirements).
