Buggy Hole 18

Greens were decent with some small ?aeration holes. Lots of crabgrass and grassy bunkers. 18th hole being expanded which made it really bugggie- got lots of bug bites. Okay for the cost.

Fun little round

Going to that side of the island I wouold play here 10 times before I thought about playing Pali again. Everything was mowed and the greens were fast. The 5 par 4's were a challengewith narrow landing areas and forced carry's. The views of Kaneohe Bay were great. Sinage between holes could have been better, a couple times we wern't sure of where to go. Needs a pro shop.

Bad course except the views on a couple holes

I wonder how they got a ☆☆☆☆ rating. The quality is TOO far from its rating. I will never recommend this course to a friend unless she or he just wants to practice on the grass regardless of its condition for a cheap price.

Not worth what we paid

I know it’s Hawaii but this course was not worth what we paid so in saying that it did have nice views of the bay on the back 9.

Good value

Course is not in great shape. Geens are rough and fairways are patchy for the most part. Tee boxes, especially the blues were in tough shape. Gave ratings based on the price we paid...we didn't expect perfection for price ($30 hot deal). Played mid-day on a Thursday and pace of play was pretty good..finished in approx 2 1/2 hours.

Cheap round in Oahu

With green fees in Oahu more than what I’m used to in the east coast , this is the cheapest round I’ve played in Hawaii . It’s a fun course , short , where you can work on your short game , iron play and hybrids. Great views - even better than Ko Olina ( which by the way is way overrated and ridiculously ultra expensive ). People are friendly. Pace of play sucks , no ranger , but this is not unexpected. It’s free for all . Suddenly there was this single who came out of nowhere! But I would play it again next I’m in Oahu.

The first negative review I've ever done

They were so severely overbooked that we literally waited 40 minutes to get to the 2nd hole. Hole 1 was a 100 yard par 3. We teed off at 1145 and hadn't even teed up by 1225 for hole 2. We left and hit a different 9 hole. It looked decently kept and a fine executive course but unfortunately we didn't get to even find out. There was a group of 6 then a group of 2 in front of us. The group of 6 didn't even let the 2 go past they threw a fit about them skipping a hole. If it's a weekend I'd say find other golf on the island. Also need to leave both an ID and credit card for a cart. Another turn off, I understand 1 but both is overkill. At least you got my money because at that point the headache wasn't even worth the green fees. Bad way to end vacation, luckily we found a different muni.
