Disc-o Trek
More Happy Gilmore than Tiger Woods, disc golf is an entertaining—and economical—way to enjoy an afternoon in the park. The quiet village of Moraga in the East Bay hills offers a challenging 9-hole course in centrally located Moraga Commons Park. Stake your picnic spot and tee it up. The course goes up, down, and all around, with trees and tall grass keeping things interesting. Don't be intimidated by the distance of some holes: Superman must've decided that Hole #6's 431-foot distance makes a good par 3. Go for it! Remember, it's all in the wrist.
Moraga Commons Park is located at the corner of Moraga Rd. and St. Marys Rd. (map). The first tee is behind the basketball courts and skate park. Dog-friendly! (Leash hours apply.)
