Von Baer Park Disc Golf Course: Providence, UT
Von Baer Park Disc Golf Course in Providence, UT, is a challenging 9-hole layout that tests both accuracy and strategy. Built in 2011 and improved in 2012, this course offers a unique twist for disc golf enthusiasts, blending steep hills, narrow tree corridors, and technical skill shots that make every round exciting.
Eight of the holes are treated as par 3s, while one hole is considered a par 4 due to distance and skill requirements. Players must carefully navigate a narrow clearing of trees, making this one of the most technical and challenging disc golf courses in Cache Valley.
Von Baer Park Disc Golf Course Layout
The park offers a unique disc golf experience that feels neither like a traditional park nor a standard disc golf course. Of the nine baskets, only three are not on the hillside. Many holes require precision throws through narrow tree corridors or tricky angles, testing both skill and patience.
Due to plant and tree growth, unmaintained areas may cause lost discs, adding an element of challenge—and occasional frustration—to the course. Holes 8 and 9 feature steep hillsides that require careful placement to avoid hazards like roads or inclines.

Directions to The Providence Disc Golf Course
The address of Von Baer Park is 350 East and Center street. Coming from Logan, drive up 100 North (the main through road in Providence that goes past Macey’s and the Elementary School) until you hit 200 East. Turn right (South) at 300 North, then East on Center Street until you see the sign that says “Von Baer Park.” There will be a Narrow Parking lot/road. The tee box to the first hole will be about 100 feet directly East of the Southern portion of the parking lot. You will have to do some climbing to get to it, but that will only get you warmed up for the rest of this great course.
Best Discs to Use at Von Baer Park
Von Baer is a rough and rugged course with a variety of difficult shots and obstacles. It has many rocky areas that will beat up your lower grade plastic discs quickly. We recommend using higher grade discs made of Innova Champion or Star plastics. These discs are durable, and won’t get huge gashes after each and every throw. If you don’t have total control of your throws, you might not want to throw your good discs on holes 8 or 9 as the disc graveyard waits below to eat any erroneously thrown Frisbees.
There aren’t a lot of shots where you are going to really test your driving abilities. For this reason mid range and fairway drivers you can throw straight will be your best bet. On this course, short and straight will lead to a much better score than long but faded. My favorite disc for this course is the Innova Roc.

The disc golf course is getting really crowded during the evenings. This course is a great addition to the community and provides good family recreation. Love it.
I’d give it eight instead of seven if the pads were concrete. Of course, I hear that’s in the works for 2013, so we’ll see.
Thanks for the rating Caleb. You ought to join the local disc golf league http://hddga.com. We’re playing Saturday at USU old main hill.
