Six events a year, from a January round in the snow to a two-day championship in November. Some are PDGA-sanctioned and count toward your rating. Some are there because it is July and somebody should organise something.
January · Odell Park
FROSTival — Frozen Fairways
A shortened layout at Odell in the middle of winter, 10:00 to 3:00, run as part of the city’s FROSTival. Two divisions: $5 to enter as a beginner, $10 as everyone else. Discs behave differently in the cold and so does everybody throwing them, which is most of the fun.
July · Starch Hill
River Valley Fling
A PDGA event on a temporary layout at the Fredericton Research and Development Centre: twelve baskets, two sets of tees on each, so twenty-four distinct holes on ground nobody gets to play the rest of the year.
Divisions run MPO, MP40, MA1, MA40, MA2, FPO and FA1.
August · Mactaquac Provincial Park
New Brunswick Disc Golf Challenge
Nine in the morning to two in the afternoon at Mactaquac, on the grass tees, with the reservoir doing its best to collect anything thrown wide.
Summer · Ripples Run @ JOMO Acres
The sanctioned ones at Ripples
Ripples Run hosts the province’s bigger days. It is a stop on the New Brunswick Disc Golf Tour — $40, with a player pack while they last — and it runs a two-round C-tier qualifier in the Power Disc Golf Academy championship series at $86. Practice baskets are on site.
November · members only
Club Championship
Two rounds over a weekend at the end of the season to decide who has the year. Entry is one of the things a $25 membership buys, along with the prizes that go with it.
Dates and registration for this season go on the events calendar as they are confirmed, and are announced first in the Fredericton Disc Golf Community group on Facebook.
