Lots of Potential
Nice layout, needs a lot of work. The greens were nice. I would check it out again when we come back. They are trying to improve the course.
just ok
Overall decent course, but better options on the island including the municipal course. Pro shop staff was friendly, but after checking in early and hitting balls at the range we were approached by another staff member and told we didn’t comply with the dress code. Since we were extremely early one member of our party drove back to the hotel to change. Although I was told I was ok for the day, the member came back again to continue to comment on my top. It was a very odd interaction and start to the day. My error for not seeing the requirement, but the attitude from the staff member was unfortunate. Definitely wouldn’t head back to play.
Awesome
Course was in great shape with a very playable design. Good location of water features and fairway bunkers. Pace of play was great, only ran into 1 other group on the back and they let us play through. Would definitely play again on our next visit to the island.
Not sure what all the hate is for
I played this course on my honeymoon and I was very pleased with the whole experience. A lot of the complaints for this course are that there was construction for the housing developments nearby--this does not affect the experience of playing this course whatsoever (unless you get offended by seeing construction while you are driving your cart to the next hole), the course is still gorgeous. You do not have to worry about the coastal winds as opposed to other courses on the island so I would highly recommend playing this track.
Pretty easy
Very flat, fair amount of damage from nearby construction. Prettiest hole was #4
Beautiful Course
Very nice layout with plenty of challenges yet fair with beautiful scenery everywhere. Staff is very friendly and helpful with any needs.
Price
Way overpriced for the course. It was 49 dollars in 2019
Now price is $139 to $179.
Would not recommand
Up and running
After being closed so long during pandemic the course is back as beautiful and challenging as ever
Trying to Come Back
I've already reviewed this course once. Poor, poor condition after being closed and changing management. No way they should charge the current rate until it is in better shape and housing development finished on the back nine. There are better values locally...
A Favorite But...
Been coming to Kauai for 25 years and have played this course many times. With the run down condition newly aerated greens and construction on most of the back nine, there is NO WAY you should be charging what you do...comp me a round next year when we come back and keep working on the reworking of one of our favorite courses...you have a long way to go!

Course Recovering
Puakea is one of our go to courses on Kauai. Upon arrival, we learned that the course had been temporarily closed due to Covid and staffing was still very limited. Maintenance of the course suffered. To make matters worse the greens were still very sandy and recovering from aeration. Given the course conditions, the rate should have been discounted. Very disappointed this time.
Course could be great
Layout is great and could be a gem. Greens were recently plugged and sanded and made putting a good guess, at best (no mention at reservation and no discount for greens condition). Maintenance crew must be short handed, lots of work to be done and only saw a few workers.
Over priced
We always play this course when visiting Kauai we really have enjoyed it in the past..the scenery is spectacular!
This experience we brought friends and were sadly disappointed..
Price doubled
Never told about aerating!
Course Under construction
Also we brought a friend for a ride along and they charged us $38. She does play golf!
Our play was fast no one was on the course until hole 12.
Good bye Puakea!!
Great employees very professional and approachable!
