📍 Governors Island, NYC
THE COURSE
Populace & NYCDGA are designing and installing this 18-hole course specifically for today. It winds through the moat of Fort Jay and the surrounding grounds of Governors Island, with unobstructed views of the Manhattan/Brooklyn skylines and the Statue of Liberty. It has never existed before. It will be gone after June 13th.
THE SCHEDULE
The event runs 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with two tracks going simultaneously all day. Play one. Play both. Just check in at the registration desk when you arrive.
Competitive Track: FLY OFF COURSE Doubles Tournament 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM | $25 | $20 for NYCDGA members | Run by NYCDGA | One round, 18 holes, score tracked. Award ceremony and prizes at the end of the day. For players who want to compete.
Casual Track: Open Play Doubles 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM | FREE | No experience required Open to everyone. This is a doubles event, you play with a partner, which means every throw gets two chances. You don’t need to know what you’re doing. That’s the point. Show up, grab a disc, meet someone new, and throw.
No disc? Borrow one for free. No partner? We’ll pair you up. No experience? Perfect.
Want to take a disc home? We’ll have Populace discs available for purchase on site, or if you bring 3 friends, you all get one for free (while supplies last).
