Cherokee Ridge Country Club
Played On 07/13/2019Needs better maintenance
Cherokee Ridge has been my favorite course in the area since I moved here in 2013. The conditions were the worst I have seen in that time. It must be a money issue as prior to this I never had a question of the upkeep of the course. I hope you make it through this year and step up the maintenance to bring this beautiful course back to prominence. Do NOT switch the nines. You do NOT want to start with a difficult par 5. Number 1 is the perfect starting hole, fairly easy to get players off the tee box.
Eagle's Nest Golf Course at Lake Guntersville State Park
Played On 08/04/2018Immaculate shape
The greens and fairways are in perfect shape. I play all around and this course is in as good shape as the RTJ courses, if not better. Some area courses have spotty greens and fairways, but not this one. I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course.
Only complaint was they need more water on the course in midsummer.
Kapalua Resort - The Plantation Course
Played On 01/26/2018Too hard for hackers
Too many valleys with high rough to hit over. Views were great, but no real ocean holes. Just not playable for bogey golfers. Play Kaanapali or Wailea instead.
Royal Ka'anapali
Played On 01/25/2018Play here twice and skip Kapalua
Very playable resort course. Not as dramatic as I expected, missing ocean holes, but great views throughout the round. Much better value than Kapalua Plantation which I wouldn't play again.
Mahalo for playing with us and for the nice review! Hope to see you again soon!
Mauna Lani Resort - North Course
Played On 01/23/2018Good course to play after playing the South Course
We played this as a second 18 holes after playing the South Course. This is easier, but not as pretty. All inland course. Very enjoyable, but would not have been the full price. Great value as a second 18 in a day.
Mauna Lani Resort - South Course
Played On 01/23/2018Very pretty course, playable
Glad we played the South Course first. North Course was easier, but with no views. The staff was very good and helpful. Enjoyable day.
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you at Mauna Lani Resort again soon.
Poipu Bay Golf Course
Played On 01/22/2018Great challenge
Staff was great. Although windy, the course was very playable, but challenging. Beautiful ocean holes. One of my favorite of 16 courses played in Hawaii
Mauna Kea Golf Course
Played On 01/22/2018A bit overrated. Not what I expected
I wanted to love this course but I was just not blown away by the course. Not as visually stunning as I was expecting. A hard course for hackers.
The Ocean Course at Hokuala
Played On 01/20/2018Beautiful but difficult
Tough course for hackers, but one you have to play for the beautiful views. Almost got rained out, but glad we kept going. Ending holes are breathtaking. Don't miss this one.
Princeville Makai Golf Club - Makai Course
Played On 01/20/2018Tough but fair for a hacker
Beautiful course with breathtaking views. We got rained out after 16 holes but worth it anyway. I would play again in better weather. Hard course but keeps your interest.
Hoakalei Country Club At Ocean Pointe
Played On 01/18/2018Tale of Two nines
First off for the day and playing along at a 3 hour pace. Course was okay, but well below the other 5 courses we played on Oahu. Well kept but unspectacular. Staff was uninspired and clearly just working for a check. We made the turn only to find two foursomes were allowed to go off the back right in front of us (a twosome). We played the back 9 in two and a half hours. It was miserable. Had we not been sabotaged by the starter, the course would have picked up another star. Worst day of golf I had in Hawaii and we played 16 courses.
Royal Hawaiian Golf Club
Played On 01/17/2018My favorite of 16 Hawaii courses played
With low expectations playing a Pete Dye course, I was blown away. Running inland through a rain forest, the course was fun, challenging and fair. Such words have never been said by me about any Pete Dye course ever. Even more thrilled to only pay $35 for a same day replay. Scored well despite the wind and blown away by the views of the jungle. Don't miss this.
Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course
Played On 01/16/2018Gem of a military course
Back nine on the ocean are as dramatic as you can get. Beautiful finishing holes. As most military courses the price was right and it was certainly worthy of playing on a two week trip to Hawaii and four islands.
Turtle Bay Resort - George Fazio Course
Played On 01/15/2018Only play with a discount
I wouldn't pay full price for the Fazio course but for $50 after same day play on the Palmer course well worth it. Strange design with numerous holes on the front nine having a large bunker fronting the green, limiting options. Also sand is really waste areas with rocks and no sand. Avoid the bunkers at all costs. I am glad Tom Fazio didn't learn too much from George. Tom's resort courses are the best. George, not so much.
Turtle Bay Resort - Arnold Palmer Course
Played On 01/15/2018Good not great course.
We enjoyed the course and the ocean views. Difficult course and well designed. Played a bonus 18 at the Fazio course for $50 which was a bonus.
Ko Olina Golf Club
Played On 01/14/2018Pristine
Very well managed and maintained. Visually stunning course, but without the ocean or mountain vistas. It was our first of 16 courses to play in Hawaii. So playable and well maintained, it remained in our top 6 courses despite not having the views.
