Taupo Disc Golf

🥳 It's a huge relief to report that we have been APPROVED for a licence agreement to keep the Spa Park Disc Golf Course in the ground through to 2034.

There were over 800 positive submissions sent into Taupō District Council, and that is an astounding figure. Thank you so much for your help to make this happen. In return, we promise to look after this course for many years to come.

We're already looking forward to our next round knowing the future is very bright at Spa Park!

🥏 Hello Taupō! Can you throw a frisbee? Neither could we when we first started!

Third Sunday of every month, so it's this Sunday July 19th!
3:30pm until around 5.

If you’re keen to give disc golf a try, come over to the Pitch & Putt course at the entrance to Spa Park.

We’ll be there with discs for loan and club members keen to show people the ropes. Unless it's bucketing down! Then we'll be home on the coach with a cuppa.

It’s a beginner friendly course, so it's a great place to start!

See you there!

The Taupō Winter Festival kicks off today and we're excited to take part once again.

Tomorrow (Saturday 4 July) we'll be on the domain next to the ice rink with our hole-in-one challenge from 10-2.

It's completely free and a great chance for first-timers to throw some plastic and maybe even hit an ace!

We've got discs to give away for the talented few that can sink one. You keen to give it a shot?!

Last week, we were proud to help out at the annual Greening Taupō Day Festival. 4000+ trees planted by 2000+ students. Pretty amazing occasion. We provide a bit of entertainment with a pop-up disc golf putting course for the kids to try out. It’s a fantastic day out for the Taupō community and we’re just excited to be a part of it. Thanks Greening Taupo and Kids Greening Taupo!

We will continue to run this once per month to give people a chance to enjoy a casual game on a beginner friendly course, so don't sweat it if you can't make it.

Thanks to Sachiyo Ushio and Daniel Pickersgill for helping run it!

Yesterday we ran our first ever Taupō KiwiSport Interschool disc golf tournament. Actually two. We had an event for years 5/6 and one for years 7/8.
This was the culmination of several weeks of working with schools on their own individual school tournaments to find out who would represent in the interschool events.

Both events yesterday were fantastic for both the kids and adults involved. Everyone had a great time, with many of the young people giving competitive disc golf a go for the first time.

Thanks to Sue and Danielle from Lake Taupo District Sports Advisory Council for so much help over the past month. And to Tawhi TuffSta Karaitiana and Sachiyo Ushio for all the help over so many sessions.

Thanks to Taupo Primary, Taupo Intermediate, Mountview School and Hilltop School Taupo for taking a chance on disc golf.

The trophy discs were from RPM Discs and dyed by Disco Fever and they did an amazing job!

Finally, congrats to all the competitors. It takes bravery to try something for the first time and you all gave it everything you had.

Can’t wait for next year already!

Our once damaged baskets are all back to good thanks to the amazing help and generosity from Armoured Engineering + Equipment. We greatly appreciate what you did for our community!

Taupō Disc Golf needs your help!

The agreed proposal is now available for public submissions.

To put it simply:
With enough positive submissions, our course stays.
Without enough positive submissions, our course could be in jeopardy.
