Disc golf on Governor's Island. Skyline views. Statue of Liberty in the background. One custom-designed course, built for one day only. This is the FLY OFF COURSE Open, and it doesn't exist anywhere else. Presented by Populace x NYCDGA 📅 June 13, 2026 📍 Governors Island, NYC DISC GOLF IS FOR THE PEOPLE. Never played? Here's all you need to know: disc golf rules are like golf, but with a frisbee, played in a park. You throw from a starting location, aim for a metal basket, and try to get there in as few throws as possible. Every hole provides a unique challenge. One round is 18 holes and takes about 2 hours. It's low-key, it's outside, and the second your disc catches air you'll understand why people get obsessed. We're spilling the secret. Come find out what it's about. THE COURSE Populace & NYCDGA are designing and installing this 18-hole course specifically for this event. 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 includes one-year of NYCDGA membership | 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). MAKE A WHOLE DAY OF IT Governors Island is a destination on its own. Bring friends, bring a blanket, grab food on the island, and stay as long as you want. The ferry runs all day. SUPPORT THE MISSION This event includes a fundraiser for the NYC Disc Golf Association (NYCDGA), a Brooklyn-based 501(c)3 nonprofit on a mission to bring disc golf and green space access to more New Yorkers — starting with youth and underserved communities across all five boroughs. Every dollar will go directly to programming. If disc golf or finding community outdoors has ever made you smile, this is a good place to put that feeling.
