The Championship Course at Disc Side of Heaven was designed to challenge the best of the best. With tremendous elevation changes, water, 100’ wide trees, and tremendous risk-reward shots, it is arguably the best track on the Pro Tour. In 2023, Jonesboro welcomes back the Disc Golf Pro Tour. Brad Pietz and crew are excited to host the best players in the world and share their little piece of Heaven. Elevation changes of up to 60 feet and old-growth oaks await us on most holes. This course is designed so that the hills, the trees, and the wind are factors on almost every shot. It is a true test of both physical and mental stamina.
This year, a total of 158 players (MPO and FPO combined) competed for the $78,660 purse of this year’s event. Congratulations to our MPO Champion Calvin Heimburg for shooting a 1046 rated round at -31 and to our FPO Champion Kat Mertsch for shooting a 958 rated round at -22.
