Timmianut Pikiuqarvik (Inuktitut: ᑎᒻᒥᐊᓄᑦ ᐱᑭᐅᖃᕐᕕᒃ[needs Inuktitut IPA], "where birds nest"), is an 18-hole disc golf course in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada, located South of Iqaluit Airport, between Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park and Frobisher Bay. Since its establishment in 2007,[1][2] it is the only disc golf course in Nunavut.[3] The course is notable for being the northernmost disc golf course in Canada and in the Western Hemisphere, making it the only disc golf course in the world located North of the tree line.
Tourism
Because of its remoteness, the course is poorly known and rarely played, but often wish-listed by members of the disc golf community.[4] In 2018 and 2019, Iqaluit's Timmianut Pikiuqarvik disc golf course received a brief mention in the Iqaluit Visitor's Guide as an amenity that can be enjoyed in the city.[5]
