Three days of disc golf tournaments, on three different courses, to celebrate 20 years of The Helicopter Line Queenstown Classic Disc Golf Tournament. Please note that the Paradise courses are long and unforgiving, with tiger, disc-swallowing rough, so more suited for experienced players, rather than beginners.

Tucker Beach disc golf course is not for the faint hearted. You’ll need to make your discs fly well. At 2,125 mtrs in length, with 5 par 4’s and a 255mtr par 5, this course will test the biggest arms. Don’t forget that Queenstown has some beautiful mountains with the white fluffy stuff on them so if your up for a slide then don’t forget your skis and boards.
