Arrowtown Darts Weekly Sessions

What to Expect at Weekly Darts

The Queenstown Darts Club brings together players of all abilities for a relaxed and engaging weekly session focused on the classic game of darts. Our approach centres on fostering community connections through friendly competition, where everyone from beginners to seasoned throwers can participate without pressure. We emphasise fun and skill-building in a supportive environment, making it easy for newcomers to jump in and enjoy the camaraderie.

Each Tuesday night, sessions kick off with 6:30pm registration for a 7pm start at the Arrowtown Bowls Club. The main format is 501 straight in, double out, providing a straightforward yet challenging way to hone your aim and strategy. These gatherings last about 120 minutes, giving ample time for matches, chats, and building lasting friendships within the local darts scene. No entry fee is required, so it's an accessible way to try the sport or stay sharp. All ages are welcome, and no prior experience is needed – just bring your enthusiasm for the game.

Throughout the year, we host various tournaments to mix things up and practice different formats. Many of these events use tablets for scoring, which takes the hassle out of keeping track and lets you focus on the enjoyment. Whether you're looking to socialise after work, meet fellow community members, or simply unwind with a competitive edge, these sessions offer a great outlet. The benefits extend beyond the board: participating helps build confidence, encourages teamwork in casual teams, and strengthens ties in the Otago region. It's a welcoming spot where all levels thrive, promoting a sense of belonging through shared laughs and triumphs.
