Old City Park is awesome! It's a few miles out from the part of Moab that everyone visits (all the hotels and restaurants), but well worth the 10-15 minute drive. The course is a full 18 holes in a very nice park that includes nice picnicking spots and a duck pond.
Each hole has a beautifully made sign that includes the hole length, par, a tip for how to approach it, a Google Earth map of the tee and line to the hole, and a local sponsor. These are easily some of the better signs I've seen while playing and it made it very easy for us to go as first timers to the course. We had no problem locating baskets, the next holes, and everything else. Some of the further off baskets have awesome flags attached to the top so that you can see them from anywhere you're throwing. It made for some nice, relaxing disc golf.
The course is sandy with quite a bit of trees and bushes. There is a good variety to the holes, lots of tricky shots, and lots of chances for your disc to get lost. Hole 7 was a bad one for me in particular. You start at the top of the hill and are throwing down to a basket around a corner you can't see. You are probably 50+ feet above where the basket it and the basket is 375 feet away. These kind of shots are tricky because of how the disc floats to the left when you're so high up above the ground. I landed 2 discs in the trees and had to spend quite a bit of time hunting them down, a third disc landed over in the fenced off area to the right (a watershed), but I managed to safely get it.
Overall this is a great course to stop by and try out. Make sure you bring water as well, because it is always hot in Moab. This was a perfect spot for a round on our way out to play Base Camp. read more
