Timmianut Pikiuqarvik (Inuktitut: ᑎᒻᒥᐊᓄᑦ ᐱᑭᐅᖃᕐᕕᒃ, "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 and the third course in the Canadian Territories.[3] [4] The course is notable for being completely devoid of trees, since it is one of only a handful disc golf courses located North of the tree line.[5] This course used to be the most Northern course in Canada, however in 2021, Crocus Bluff Disc Golf Course was created in Dawson City, Yukon. [6]

Tourism

Because of its remoteness, the course is poorly known and rarely played, but often wish-listed by members of the disc golf community.[7] 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.[8]
