A few baskets in Kona

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 26, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

-6 old DGA baskets, but in good repair
-Lots of parking
-Can smell and hear the surf
-Park seems well cared for
-First 3 holes are wide open bombers, last 3 have some obstacles. Udisc has 3 more object holes to finish out and bring you back to the parking area
-Only course on the island that is free to play

Cons:

-No tee pads
-No tee signs
-Route of play goes through ball fields, so likely can't be played at times when baseball is being played
-No bathrooms or water that I saw
-No wayfinding signs of any sort

Other Thoughts:

I'm glad that there is at least a small disc golf presence in Kona, but this is a severely limiting course for a few reasons. Without the Udisc app, I can promise I would not have been able to find the last 3 baskets. As mentioned above, play goes through the ball fields so conflicts are bound to happen. If this can lead to a bigger foothold in the area and community interest increases, this would be a success, but as a course it is very limited. Still glad I brought a few discs on vacation and got to play!

Good to be in Hawaii

Reviewed: Played on:May 22, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Lush grass, you're playing in Hawaii and the mandos/OB make it more challenging.

Cons:

No pads, no signage, and course was an afterthought.

Other Thoughts:

Glad they are getting the sport out there but in talking with a Rec center staff member, they need help taking it to the next level.
