Where to play Disc Golf in Gisborne

Gisborne offers disc golf at Alfred Cox Park, an established 9-basket course that plays as 18 holes using alternate tee positions. While the course has potential with its flat terrain and park setting, it represents an older style of disc golf design that could benefit from professional course design upgrades.

Perfect for combining with exploring New Zealand's easternmost city, visiting nearby wineries, or experiencing the stunning East Coast beaches and Māori cultural heritage.

Course Condition: Old style disc golf design and install. Dangerously positioned baskets make fairways and landing zones not friendly with other park users. Old numbering and tee posts still visible making navigation confusing. Poor signage and tee area markers (rated 1.7/5 each). Easy to lose discs. Has great potential but needs professional course design crew to make improvements. Not recommended for limited mobility.

Course Notes: Established 2009 course in public park rated 3.2/5. 18-hole course using 9 baskets with alternate tee positions. Flat terrain. Short holes with forgiving par score. Nice 9-holer if in Gisborne. Throw carefully to avoid losing discs. Restrooms available. Cart and stroller friendly despite confusing layout. Reviews suggest contacting Disc Shop course crew (DiscShop.co.nz) for improvements to grow player base in Gisborne.
