Perhaps the most relaxed competition in the world, we’re adding a new category this year just for families.

In addition to our usual Really Good and Pretty Good divisions, this year will also include the Family Plan division which will consist of teams of two individuals, one of whom must be 13 or under.  Team members don’t have to be members of the same family, although our main goal is to encourage parents and children to come out and play together.

Family Plan teams will play under standard scramble rules which means both members will throw from each tee and lie and then get to choose which throw they want to use to play their next shot.  This gives the younger kids a chance to compete with all you long-throwing grownups.

Registration is day of only and is $15 which includes a nifty t-shirt.  Family Plan teams pay $20 per team and get 2 shirts.  What a deal!

Also as usual, we’ll have a barbecue and awards to wrap things up.

Thanks to all 64 entrants in our tournament.  Everyone had a great time, the weather cooperated and the Amnesia IPA was really tasty.

We’ll get the results up on our Events page in a day or two.

Next event is Gorge Days Tournament on July 11th.

Sponsored by Amnesia Brewery & NBDGA

Saturday, June 19

Registration opens 9:00 am (no pre-registration)
Round 1 begins 10:00 am – Round 2 begins 1:00 pm

Amnesia Beer & BBQ between rounds and during award ceremony

Entrance fee is $15, which goes into the NBDGA tee pad fund

What a beautiful day for a quick round… great weather with a gusty and unpredictable wind to make every hole a challenge.

With the clear weather most of the course has dried out, but watch for the remaining swampy parts and goose do-do on hole 4!

Join us for doubles every Sunday at 6:00pm through late September.  The buy-in is $3 with $1 going into the pot, $1 into the ace pot (which will carry over), and $1 into our concrete tee pad fund. We invite everyone to come out and join us.

We’re also considering throwing in a mixed doubles (that would be one guy and one gal) on a fairly regular basis.

We’re still trying to figure out the best way to pull this off and welcome any feedback and ideas.  Would it be best to require entrants to show up in mixed couples and then use a draw to shuffle them or allow singles and try to figure out what to do with any “leftovers” after the mixed doubles are set?

Tell us what you think.

Thank you to all who showed up and made our 2009 Gorge Days Tournament a success. There was a total of 60 entrants competing for the top spots in the Really Good Division and the Pretty Good Division.

The 2^nd Annual North Bonneville Disc Golf Tournament will be held on Sunday, July 12, 2009. We’ll have great t-shirts for all competitors, free soft drinks and water on the course and some of the coolest trophies in the disc golfing world.

The tournament is a low-key, fun and friendly event for disc golfers of all abilities. There are a few people who will be looking to lower the course record but most of the golfers will be there to enjoy the great golf course

We’ve moved a few of the holes around since last year to make it more interesting; the trees, blackberry brambles and the ever present Columbia Gorge wind are still here to make the course a challenge to any disc golfer.

And this year, in addition to the delicious post-tournament barbeque provided by our sponsor A&J Market, we’ll have a Walking Man beer garden! It doesn’t get much better than that.

For more information about the tournament see our Events page.

Last year’s tournament (our very first!) drew competitors from all over the area, we even had a group from La Grande! The weather was cooperative; beautiful blue skies, moderate temperatures and just a little of that oh-so-famous Gorge wind which can make the game quite a challenge. We all had a great time and are looking forward to an even better time in 2009.

The purpose of this site is to introduce the North Bonneville Disc Golf Course to our fellow disc golfers and invite you all to come out and play a round or two in beautiful North Bonneville, Washington.
