Oratia Orchard Disc Golf Course is a disc golf course at 41/9 Shaw Rd, listed under French Bay, Waitakere City, Auckland, with a Google rating of 4.9.
Disc golf works like golf, but you throw a flying disc at a metal basket, counting throws from tee to basket. A good course has clear tee signs, a map or hole layout, and a mix of short and long holes so beginners and experienced players both have fun. If you are new, you can start with a few discs, usually a putter, a mid-range and a driver, and many courses let you play with just one or two. Regulars know to watch for other players ahead, call out before throwing and keep to the marked paths, as courses often share space with walkers. Quieter times such as weekday mornings suit beginners, and it helps to bring water and wear shoes with grip, since West Auckland grass and tracks can be wet and slippery.
For players in the Waitakere area, Oratia Orchard Disc Golf Course is a very highly rated local course to try.
