Needs some love, but still fun! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 2, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

In this course, there the front 9 holes and the back 9 holes. These add to 18 total, by sharing certain baskets (and in this case, natural formations). This could cause periods of overlapping the same hole, just be patient and wait for others playing. The hazards on this course are the strong winds at this part of the island, and the highway/base entrance. If your disc goes over the fence, good luck getting it back easily! It's a nice flat area in the sun, very quiet and peaceful. All-in-all, a fun free activity!

Cons:

Going to Dexter's Alley, it's clear to see that once this course had a lot of time and effort put into it. Today, while still super fun, it's missing some of the grandeur necessary to make it a truly great course. The disc golf enthusiast that created the course has since moved from O'ahu and taken about four baskets necessary to make this complete. While this is a disappointment, it can easily be remedied by picking natural formations (like trees) to stand in for the missing baskets. It makes these holes less of a challenge, but one can still complete the course.

Other Thoughts:

Dexter's Alley is in JBPHH, right inside the main Hickam gate. It's in a residential so be respectful to the homes and yards surrounding the public space. Dexter's Alley is an alley/park, with plenty of parking. There is a road that runs through the course, but it's almost never used. On base, there is free parking almost everywhere, just pay attention to the signs. One big benefit of this course is it's free. It's also open anytime, so come at your leisure (obviously, it's better during daylight).

Great Course. Going to be greatly missed! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 10, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Long course plays very smooth and has plenty of challenges. Plenty of anhyzer/forehand shots for more advanced play. Homemade baskets play very well and make up about half of the holes. Street that runs through the course is very empty with very little traffic and provides the course with necessary OB lies to make it more challenging. Great addition to an island that has only 1 permanent course open to the public.

Cons:

First 5 holes play to the forehand drive. Wish it would be more diverse to start. Hard to access if your not in the military but, like stated in the previous comment, most of the guys are more than happy to escorts someone wanting to play.

Other Thoughts:

As of September 2015, the course is being disassembled because Joe Royer is moving off the island and owns half of the baskets. Let's get some support to keep it open and playing.
