Princeville at Hanalei - Prince Golf Course
Played On 02/09/2013Challenging ...but worth it. New design achieves it's goal.
The recently re-designed Prince Course is extremely difficult despite excellent conditions, state of the art GPS, extensive selection of teeing areas, well trained staff and spectacular location. The course defines Target Golf like few others on the planet, unfortunately, the cost for missing the target, particularly off the tee, is often a lost ball....played as a lateral hazard throughout the course.
As an 7 handicap, I played well, lost 7 golf balls and shot 84, from the Blue tees. Next time I'll play from the longer Gold tees as the course opens up with a longer tee shot. 5 lost balls ran through the fairway into the gully which might not have happened from the longer tees - despite trying to use a shorter club off the tee. It can be maddening.
Fortunately, after the round, you are treated to the best $$ deal on the island....Happy Hour at the beautiful new clubhouse.
Puakea Golf Course
Played On 1/4/2013Great course for all levels of casual golfers
Puakea is a great course for all levels of casual golfers. The course lays out in front of the players with very few blind shots and very easy to navigate directions and cart paths. The price is reasonable, facilities are fine and the Staff is player friendly. We only played it once but would recommend it and will play it again on next trip!
