Keira (7) and Brooklyn (5) Daken learned about disc golf for the first time at the event.
"It's really fun. I can flick the disc all day," Brooklyn said.
The Professional player Hayley Flintoft drove from Wanaka to compete at the weekend.
Philip Botha has practised every week since being introduced to the sport five years ago.
Tournament co-director Calvin Jenkins (15) said the turnout was better than he had expected.
"A lot of people saw us here and started to ask questions. I hope disc golf has a few more fans now."
