Have not been to Oahu in 20 years. Been golfing for 8 years. Easy course layout. My girlfriend who just began golfing enjoyed it as well.

Hawaii Kai, windy as heck

I wanted to play the course and an opportunity arose. I was a little disappointed in the greens as they were a bit bumpy, and rather slow compared to other courses I played on Oahu. However, given the trade winds were 30+ mph, if the greens were lightning fast it would have been unplayable. I enjoyed the course, and 4 hours is a nice pace.

Enjoyable and a beautiful short drive from Waikiki.

Great course in a beautiful part of the island. Some basic holes and a few tough ones. I enjoyed almost every minute of being there from the kind and helpful golf shop to the beer in the cafe after playing.
Mark -10 handicap from Seattle.

Ignore bad reviews - great course for money!

Grumpy people post bad reviews … ignore them! Is this a posh Waikiki Country Club? No, but it is fun and challenging, quite picturesque, had very nice staff, and is quite affordable for Oahu golf! Further, there IS a restaurant with food and drink, they will load a cooler for you, and even deliver food to you on the course. I will never try to understand haters and why they love to post bad reviews …

Never ever been treated it so bad at golf course pro-shop

We played golf at this course every time when we are in Hawaii. We’ve checked in about an hour early a guy at the pro-shop reminded us that we are very early. We asked for power cart so that we could go practice at the driving range. He refused us to give us power cart and shouted at us saying we paid “hot deal” for green fee that he won’t give us power cart until our start time???????? He was very mean and treat us like a cheap.
This one person I don’t want to name but very rude.
Booking with TeeOff.com so that we could get discounted last min tee times but for his eyes “you are so cheap this is how I’m going to treat you” so shame😡😡😡

Slow Twosomes-Beautiful course

2nd time playing the course within a week. Very friendly accommodating staff. Greens had improved somewhat. But f following 3 twosomes that could not stay ahead of our group of 3 was brutal, resulting in a 5 hour morning/afternoon round.

Do Not Waste Your Money Here

Absolutely not worth the money - paid $165 x2 for essentially a crappy municipal course experience

Positives
1) Easy to reserve on Golf Now
2) Great views

Negatives
1) Staff; largely disengaged/uninterested; wife and I arrived at 7:15 for a 7:44 tee time; asked if coffee was available - got back, “… we could make it.” - then some mumbling and person at the snack bar area wandered off
2) Pro shop bathroom disgusting … needs some serious deep cleaning if not complete remodel
3) Main Issue - Course in very poor condition .. all fairways dry and brown - weeds and crabgrass everywhere - sand traps hard pan sand/dirt

I wouldn’t write this up only for negatives items 1 and 2 - but the course is a wreck - not sure how you can dry out a course in March in Oahu … but this one is … feels like playing the Dyess AFB base course in Abilene, TX

Challenging & Fun but needs faster greens

Challenging & Fun, but needs faster greens. Group in front of us was two holes behind, not just because they were inexperienced golfers, but had no understanding about pace of play. Taking pictures on the green when there two groups waiting on the tee, and consistently ignoring the cart signs driving all around the greens was not cool. Need a marshal to remind people.
Enjoyed the course and scenery very much.

Too slow

Could.be a fun course but not for what they are charging. $60 usd to Uber each way. And 30 minutes each way. Not in great shape and greens were very slow. All the staff were great. Should be $80 to play not in the $100s. Still haf fun with the guys I joined but really not worth the costs.

Bad course condition

There was hardly any expected fairway condition to reward a good drive. Ground was so hard and no nice fairway grass. This poor condition continued onto the green. There were even other invading grass species on the green. How to read a putt with such disturbance! We have played in numerous golf courses in various Hawaii islands. Unfortunately, we must say this course is the WORST one we have played. However, the starter and the employee in the restaurant were helpful and friendly. We will not be back to play on this course.
