No DG in Hawaii 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 18, 2012 Played the course:once

Pros:

You're in Hawaii. We did find some of the hole layouts and threw (nonexistent) tee - to (nonexistent) basket just to say we did it.

Cons:

Somehow I missed reading Olorin's review before we left for Oahu. Had I read it, we could have saved the luggage space we used for discs. Going by the course description as "permanent", I expected it to be marked and have baskets. The course description needs to be changed, this is not a permanent course. No local players were present when we finally got there after riding/pushing bikes up the 3 mile climb through St. Louis Heights to get to Waahila Ridge recreation area. Several inquiries around Waikiki found no one who knew what DG was, much less anything about the course. We're older than typical disc'ers and don't have all the connections a college-age person would, but everywhere else we've been we can find young people who know about the local courses and are willing to give directions to a wacky middle-aged couple, while we found the local young people to be friendly, they knew nothing about disc golf.

Other Thoughts:

Waahila Ridge is a kind of multiple-use state rec. area, if there is a place in Hawaii perfectly suited to building an actual DG course, this is it. It would be nice if travel and tourism folks would recognize the draw a real DG course in the islands could be and supported this. Worth a visit for anyone in the Honolulu/Waikiki area, there are some nice views from St. Louis Heights and at the rec. area, and the bicycle ride back down the hill was fun if a little hard on the rental's thankfully very good brakes.
