About this tournament

$3,000 added cash
2 rounds of play
Welcome to the 2026 Rocky Mountain Championships - Sward Ranch.

Set in SW Montana at the base of the Tobacco Root Mountains, Sward's Ranch is the definitive test of the Mountain Disc Golfer.
You will have to deal with thousands of vertical feet of hiking over miles of the most challenging and beautiful disc golf terrain you will ever play!

BE ADVISED:
This event is not for the faint of heart!
Sward ranch is extremely challenging physically for the arms that are throwing, the legs that are hiking, and the lungs and heart that will be pushing it all forward.
IF YOU ARE NOT IN SHAPE FOR EXTENDED HIKING, DO NOT REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT.

2 rounds of golf over 2 days with tee times.
Day 1:
Sward Ranch - Jaco Loop - 27 holes - MPO, MP40, MP50
Sward Ranch - Ward Loop - 27 holes - FPO, FP40, FP50, MA1, FA1, MA2, FA2

Day 2:
Same as Day 1.
