About this tournament

Join us for the Inaugural Gravitational Pull at the Cove! Gravity Disc Golf is hosting a B-Tier at Mountain Cove Farms! The course will be in top shape after working with the amazing folks at Mountain Cove and a couple of workdays to get this ready to play. We will use an 18 Hole Temp Course with the existing main layout to have a Two-Round, Two Course Event with Tee Times on both Rounds.
Pool A will start on Temp Course and Pool B will start on Main Course

Mountain Cove is a gem and a staple in this area and Gravity is excited to bring the course and event back to life! This is an well-designed course and we want to bring an event that will match this. Below you can find the event/course details.
