Disc Golf

The Aquatic Park Disc Golf Course is a scenic and challenging 18-hole disc golf course in Berkeley, California, set along the water in the city's Aquatic Park near the San Francisco Bay shoreline. With water in play across much of the layout and lovely views toward the San Francisco skyline, it's a favorite of East Bay disc golfers and a memorable round for visitors.

Laid out as a long, narrow nine holes out and nine back, the course earns its “Pebble Beach” nickname from the lake, ponds, and streams that guard many of the fairways — water hazards and a few swampy areas keep every throw honest. Rated moderate in difficulty, it offers enough challenge to test experienced players while remaining playable for improving ones, with multiple pin positions, a practice basket, and even a few tricky “ghost holes” to discover. A typical round runs about two hours and covers a bit over two miles of walking.

The course is free to play and offers handy amenities including restrooms, drinking water, cart-friendly paths, and pet-friendly areas. One thing to plan for: the breezes off the bay can be treacherous, so bring discs you can control in the wind. Watch for other park users and pedestrians, never throw when people are in range, bring water, and pack out your trash. Beautiful, breezy, and free, Aquatic Park is one of the Bay Area's most distinctive disc golf rounds.
