2026 NC Pro Disc Golf Tour

Sponsored by Stephen Palmer Photography

Our Story

Welcome to the first annual Not Close to Professional Disc Golf Tour, or NC Pro Disc Golf Tour for short. We’re a group of disc golf enjoyers who want to try our hand in a competitive setting with friends. There will be non-disc golf events at each Invitational to make sure the weekends are as fun as possible.

The Tour consists of 3 weekend Invitationals with 2 Courses played per Invitational. The player with the lowest aggregate score between both courses at the end of the weekend wins that Invitational. The player with the lowest aggregate score at the end of The Tour will be named the Champion. Players need to play all 6 courses to be eligible for the Championship. Every hole will be considered a Par - 3. Other rules can be found at: https://discgolf.com/disc-golf-education-development/disc-golf-rules-for-recreational-play/
