South Island Disc Golf

Last call — registration for Winter Challenge – River closes at midnight tonight.

Still packs available if you’ve been sitting on it, and plenty of Rivers left in both white and blue. The custom triple foil stamp celebrates Te Awa Waimakariri — our nod to the river that shaped this part of the island.

Sunday’s shaping up well too. Eleven degrees, sun through the middle of the day, and barely any rain forecast. Cold at check-in, comfortable by Round One. Bring a jacket for the morning and you’ll be fine.

Two scored rounds on a custom layout. Skills challenge over lunch. Raffle, spot prizes, ace kitty, and coffee from Scoundrel on site all day. Every registered player gets a free raffle ticket — just redeem it at HQ.

Bottle Lake Forest, Sunday 16 August. Check-in from 8am, briefing 8:30, first tee 9:00.

❄️ WINTER CHALLENGE UPDATE ❄️

Latitude 64 Presents - SIDG Seasonals 2026 | Winter: Te Awa | River. Thanks to NZDSS

It’s been a little quieter than usual from us over the last couple of weeks. Canterbury has been packed with some fantastic disc golf, with events from CDGC, Disc Daddies, and other local groups filling the calendar, and there’s still more to come.

That’s exactly how we like it. The more opportunities people have to get out and play, the stronger our community becomes. While all that’s been happening, we’ve been busy behind the scenes getting everything ready for Winter Challenge.

Now we’ve got a few updates to share…

🥏 Course Layout

The layout is almost locked in! We’ve got just a couple more playtests before sign-off, including an open community playtest where anyone is welcome to come along, throw the course, and help us fine-tune the final layout.

This year’s course combines long and short tees, with several teleports returning after plenty of community requests.

🥏 Custom Event Rivers

Manufacturing is well underway, and we’re excited to finally share the first mock-up! Our custom triple foil Rivers feature an awesome ice-textured foil finish and will be available in two colourways.

The best way to guarantee your preferred colour is with a player pack.

🥏 Club Thank You

We want to recognise and thank the clubs helping grow disc golf throughout the South Island.

If 10 players from the same Christchurch club or regular group, or 5 players from the same club outside Christchurch, register for Winter Challenge and include their club name in the registration notes, we’ll refund $5 to every eligible player.

Already registered? No problem. Just send us a message with your club name. Once your numbers qualify, we’ll sort it retroactively.

🥏 Five Weeks To Go

This Sunday marks just five weeks until tee-off.

We’re putting everything into making this our cleanest, smoothest, and best SIDG event yet. Grab a few mates, lock in your spot, and come experience a unique take on Bottle Lake.

🍂 PIWAKAWAKA AUTUMN CHALLENGE 2026 🍂

A little over a month ago we wrapped up the Piwakawaka Autumn Challenge at Warren Park, and we’re still smiling about it. It was chilly - the wind played a factor but it was a great day!

From first-time tournament players, to FIRST TIME PLAYERS, to seasoned competitors, the day delivered exactly what we hoped for: great disc golf, great people, and a fantastic community atmosphere full of new highs and challenges.

A huge congratulations to all of our division winners, challenge winners, raffle winners and spot prize recipients.

Most importantly, thank you to every player who came along and helped make the event what it was. 2 away from hitting cap was impressive!

Events like these only happen because of an incredible community, dedicated volunteers, and businesses willing to back local disc golf.

Thank you to RPM DISCS - It's In Our Nature, Vortica Disc Golf, NZDSS, Hell Pizza | Dinner, Dessert & Booze Delivered BISHOPDALE, New World WIGRAM, Metalcraft Roofing, Empire Chicken and Scoundrel as well as everyone else who helped make the day possible.

The Piwakawaka may be finished, but SIDG Seasonals 2026 is far from over.

Surprise reopening ⏳

Bit of a surprise to us, but scorecards and logistics have been running smoothly enough that we’re reopening registration for 6 hours. We heard today from several people hoping to get in. So lets see!

That means regos are now open again until midnight tonight.

We’ve only got 3 spots left, and there are still player pack upgrades available for anyone wanting to lock one in before tomorrow’s price bump.

Big thanks as well to the team at Hell Pizza Bishopdale for getting in behind the day so strongly. This photo is just part of the stack of vouchers they’ve hooked us up with.

Short notice.
No more chances.
You’ve gotta be in to win.

Tell a mate.

We’re down to the final 12 hours until registration closes.

We still have 5 spots left after a few extra sign ups came in and a couple of injury cancellations opened things back up again.

So if you were on the fence, or know someone who was planning to leave it late, this is the last real window.

Once regos close, that’s it.
No Saturday rego.
No Sunday morning rego.

If you want to play, now is the time to sort it.

And if you missed the player pack, there are still 15 left to lock in before the cutoff.

See you all very soon.
