Which course is this?
« on: April 26, 2020, 06:38:10 PM »
Anyone know what course this is?  It was taken in 1923 in Honolulu.  Sorry that is all the info I have.  Once I know what this is, I can put it in the appropriate thread.  Thanks

It might be Moanalua GC. Built on the Damon estate by his gardener Donald MacIntyre in 1898. Originally 18 holes, reduced to 9. Aerials show a significant hill in the middle. Close to Tripler Hosptial.

Yeah being that there was only a couple courses on the island at this point makes it easier to narrow down.  I am thinking it MGC as well, but I am hoping someone with a feel for golf history on the island will chime in to solidify our thoughts.

I stand corrected, as usual. If you google an aerial of Oahu CC you can see the lake just off property clearly shown on the first old aerial. On course water also in place. (Slowly moving towards fallible god status).
