Tale of two courses
This 18 has dramatically different 9's. The front wanders through a residential area and is ok but nothing spectacular. The back is situated in the countryside and very nice, very scenic. Overall condition is very nice, particularly the greens...large and lush. The bunkers are typical volcanic red sand and thick but pretty well placed. All in all, a bargain and fun for a public course.
Puakea - Bring your "A" game.
One of my favorite Kauai vacation courses. Fair value. Decent variety of holes. Some are definitely harder than others. I find most of the harder holes on the back nine. Beware of the bermuda grass rough, I don't see much of that on a regular basis and it can wreck your round if you don't know when to take your medicine. Choose the correct club and stay in the short grass!
Interesting course in very good condition for a public course.
I miss having ball washers and towels.
There are no fairway yardage markers and the markers on tees are not even close to GPS readings.
The most important thing is the inconvenience of getting water. At lease have a chilled water filling station next to the carts.
Golf course was playable
Golf course playable for Hawaï :
Lots of wind, bring lots of balls to play!
Nice practice area, friendly staff.
More of a city layout, greens are hard to putt!
Fun course
Great place to play, the staff is awesome and the greens are rolling fast. Played there 4 times in the past 10 days. Best value for sure! 👍🏌️⛳️
Interesting layouti
Interesting layout but really needs some TLC. Fairways and greens okay, but tees, rough and bunkers are subpar. Lots of weeds, some areas unmoved recently and bunkers were mud holes. Adjacent restaurant must be good based how crowded it was (half wait for table). However, it was not golfer friendly.
Greens are in good shape and fairways tee boxes need a little grass overall good course to play for the money is well worth it.
Great course with interesting views
some hole really challenging, with great canyon and mountain views. Lots of fun.
Amazing layout and views!
Good bang for the buck. Fantastic layout. Course upkeep mediocre including alot of ruined areas by wild pigs. Not disappointed though and would play it again.
Puakea course
Interesting layout. Had several shorter par fours, but once on the green the challenge had only begun. Conditions were above average for a daily fee venue. I’ll go back.
Great views and layout for this course!
My husband and I had not played this course since 2017, since after that it was closed and then, when reopened, was 3 to 4 times the price (now $179). After reading some of the reviews, we were hesitant to book, but we have great memories of this course, and decided to give it a try after finding an online price of $129. The scenery and great views are still there to enjoy and every hole is unique (awesome par 3 #6). Range balls are included and the practice areas are great. We found all the staff members welcoming and helpful. Once on the course, the bunkers don't seem to be maintained at all, and there are several other areas which need some work. Although we enjoyed our round, we still thought the green fee was too high for the conditions of the course.
Great course, beautiful layout, friendly staff, grill not designed for a golf course
I love this course! It’s beautiful with challenging and interesting holes. It winds through beautiful wooded areas as well as wide open fairways with stunning mountain vistas. The staff is very courteous and helpful. I’ll definitely come back to play here!
The only shortcoming is that the grill has a very wide variety of offerings but ordering- even from the 8th hole- is a chore. After scanning the QR code on the cart you then have to create an account to submit an order. A bit cumbersome when you are trying to focus on playing. If you don’t do this and think your order is complete it’s not.
Any hot food - hot dog, BLT, or anything requires cooking means a 20 minute wait at the turn if not ordered ahead.
Otherwise a fabulous place. Just bring some snacks if you don’t want to eat there.
One of the leas expensive courses on the island. Beautiful scenery with a couple of ocean peeks..would play it again.
Great layout poor maintenance
The course and layout is beautiful as long as you hit it in the fairway and on the green all day. Should you veer off the preferred route the bunkers and rough are unmaintained.
Great layout
All good if you keep it on the fairway and greens. Bunkers and rough are a little unkept. Beautiful layout and views.
