ATC would expect you to go straight-in. If the holding pattern had been
designed properly, it would be within 120 degrees of the inbound course, which
would have made it okay for "NoPT." With a DME lead you can still do a nice
job of "fly-by, thus not getting over on the high terrain side at all.

Rolling your own course reversals is certainly not the way to go.
