2026 Putting Tour

NZ Putting Tour 2026 Poster

6 double weekends spanning Aotearoa for a total of 12 events, each consisting of up to 4 rounds of 18 holes, with the lowest total score taking out first place.

ALL SKILLS AND AGES ARE INVITED and whether you lead the pack or trail at the back, you'll be sure to enjoy yourself in the youth, 2-round Championship or the 4-round Premier Divisions.

Ties for the event are resolved with "sudden death": tied players play face-to-face to putt the lowest score on a hole until the person with the lowest stroke count is left.

Points

Players are awarded points based on their finishing position at each event.

A player’s total for the year is calculated using their best nine events, allowing flexibility to miss some events.

Points are allocated before any tie-breaks are applied. Players who finish tied share the average of the points for the tied positions. For example, if two players tie for 1st place, they receive the average of the 1st (50) and 2nd (40) place points: 45 points each.

Rules

  • Tee-off within the marked areas. If unmarked, tee-off is at maximum, one club shaft length from the start of each hole
  • The ball can be relocated 20cm away from walls and obstacles, as long as this doesn't give line of sight to the hole if it wasn't there before.
  • If the ball leaves the green, return it to the point where it left and re-position using the rule above (no penalty shot awarded)

Rules will be reiterated during the briefing before the start of play, along with any exceptions due to course conditions or otherwise.  The complete New Zealand Minigolf Federation rules are available here.

Championship/Premier Divison Policy

This year, the Amateur and Pro divisions have been renamed Championship and Premier.

Our division policy is designed to create a fair and consistent playing environment for all participants. We encourage players to consider their division early in the calendar year.

  1. Players select either Championship (2 rounds) or Premier (4 rounds) when registering for their first mini golf event of the year.
  2. Players may change their division up until they have attended their third event of the year.
  3. Players are allowed to change once per year. After changing, they will remain in their chosen division for the remainder of the year.
  4. Points earned in one division not transferrable to the other.
  5. Organisers may review division placements in cases of special exceptions (e.g., injuries or extraordinary circumstances) or where there is concern about abuse or unfair advantage related to division selection.
