Quarry Park Open 2024
The 2024 Quarry Park Open - Aug30 - Sept 1
Weekday opening is from 12:00 until sunset, except for bank holidays when it is 10am until 6pm. Weekened opening is from 10am to 6pm. Bookings can be made 7 days in advance. Disc golf has grown hugely popular, and in order to run smootly and safely, we have had to change the way we manage the flow of visitors. The booking system is an essential part of this.
The other change is to limit groups to 6 people on a hole at any time, because big groups can slow up play for all the groups behind them. Big groups also give rise to increased safety concerns if throws are made when other members of the party are in range and not paying attention. The government regulations on "group of 6" also make this a necessity at present. If you are planning a visit for 7 or more family or friends, then simply book 2 or more time slots and don't merge.

We are expecting to run the following tournaments as BDGA/PDGA sanctioned events in 2021
May 16th - Quarry Park Amateur Event (PDGA ref)
June 12-13th Quarry Park Open
September 25-26th Quarry Park Masters (to be confirmed)
October 16-17th British Open
The rapid growth of disc golf and demand for places in tournaments is giving tournament directors some challenges in how to allocate places. We won't be able to please all the people all the time. Our first event on May 16th will prioritise people with a PDGA rating of less than 850 (including those with no rating) The Quarry Park Open in June will require a rating of at least 850 in mixed divisions. The Masters event in September will be for players born in 1981 or earlier. Registration will open earlier for Quarry Park members. We may consider tiered registration or random draws in order to avoid keyboard races.

Heavy rain in the run up to the 25th Open resulted in substantial flooding and we had to improvise some changes. Fortunately the short course provided some ready made if rather easier holes to substitute for black course holes 6, 8, 10 and 11 which were unplayable. Tony Ferro from Switzerland took first place and £240 prize money in the Open division, ahead of Icelands Blaer Asgeirsson. The womens title went to Norwegian resident Hanna Hugosson. The other winners in the Professional divisions were Bert Brader of Netherlands (MP40); Jean-Louis Tanghe of Belgium (MP50), and Sue Underwood of UK (FP40). In the Advanced Amateur division Arnphor Gylfi took top honours, whilst in the Intermediate Amateur division Quarry Park's own Andy Clarke finished atop the podium. This was a European Tour event and 13 countries were represented in the field of 90 players! Total prize money was £1595.
