As I check into the disc golf course at Bellows Field Beach on Yelp, I begin to receive fun comments like, "I didn't know Bellows had a disc golf course!", I didn't know either until today. As Yelpers, our words and reviews are pretty darn powerful. We must put these businesses on the map so we can help get the word out that "Hey, they do exist and they are pretty damn awesome!" I didn't even know we had "Disc Golf" as a category on Yelp until the better half demanded we must fill this category in our region and let the world know that these places do exist on this island.
There's nothing better than playing disc golf in paradise especially at this location. On one side of the course, you'll get the view of Hawai'i's pure aqua blue ocean while the scent of these gigantic trees are purposely on site high and low enough to make your game more challenging. Lets see you play this course. Okay, perhaps anyone can play this course better than I can. I am better off being the spectator or the photo girl on the sidelines. The entire course is only 9 baskets and all are par 3 whether it's short or long distances. I laughed at some of the "supposed par 3's" on this course because they didn't seem like they were. However, for the most part, my family was able to play the entire round without feeling any muscle aches from all the throwing.

Rules of the game are visible along with the map at the beginning of the course. The course is well marked with the few exceptions of basket 5 and 7. Again, the entire course is a par 3. Follow the map posted on your scorecards (map is also present at the beginning of the course) to aim at the correct baskets. These baskets are with a yellow rim marked specifically with their rightful rounds (i.e Basket 1/Par 3 = The correct number is on the yellow rim of each basket. So if you're starting from round 1 and your basket says 3, you're aiming at the wrong one. Don't let me confuse you and simply follow the map. It's a great course. If you accidentally miss throw your disc, you won't lose it easily anywhere you can't reach it. Unless you happen to throw it high enough and get it stuck on a tree.
Bring your family and friends and enjoy this fun and friendly course. Bathrooms are inside the recreation office and parking is ample. The golf course parking lot is separate from the beach lot. So far, this is has been one of the cleanest and beautiful disc golf course I've ever played on. read more
