Galleon/Brigantine at Shipyard Golf Club
Played On 12/13/2023Enjoyable and fast round in December
Arrived 30 minutes ahead of my 9:16 tee time and was greeted warmly by the staff. Got set up, hit some balls, some putts and out to the course, Got an escort to the first hole of the Clipper (I played Clipper then Brigantine 9's) and chatted briefly with the starter (we are both originally from Massachusetts) before starting the round. I was initially worried how the greens would be since the practice green has recently been punched (tiny punches) but the greens on the course were in really good condition.
Played the blue tees since the rating matched closely with my home course. Some of the blue tees were pushed back to the gold lengths, which presented a few challenges I didn't expect, but it was a pleasant round. Played 18 holed in 2:30, nobody ahead of me or behind, only maintenance crews on a few holes.
Everyone there was friendly and in good spirits. The course was in great condition given the time of year. Tee boxes and fairways were very good, greens not too fast and rolling true. It was my first time playing but everything is in front of you so nothing tricky, just straight golf. I would definitely recommend it.
Ewa Beach Golf Club
Played On 09/29/2023Nice course, great golf company.
Signed up as a single. They don't have a driving range so after some chipping practice, it was out to the course. got paired with a local who plays there regularly. His friend joined us later in the round, on the 9th hole. Played the championship tees (Blue) and the pace of play was pretty decent.
I believe the course was recently purchases to the name is going to change soon. The folks were very friendly and the course was in really good condition, except the bunkers. The bunkers (according to one of my playing partners) are not good and he was right (hard dark sand, not much sand to speak of). The course was a challenge but fair, with the wind on a few of the holes having a major impact on club selection.
None of the threesome had our best rounds but we had a great time playing together, which is always a nice treat. I definitely want to play there again.
Hawaii Prince Golf Club - A/B Nines
Played On 09/26/2023Nice round, nice course, good price.
It was easy to set up the time. Played as a single, played with a nice couple and their friend ( they were all from Korea). Played the B/C combo from the Championship (Blue) Tees. Started out on C and things got backed up a few holes into the round, but it was still pleasant. The B course had been punched a week earlier so they were still a bit bumpy compared to the C course greens, which were in great shape. Had a good round compared to my recent ones, so I had no complaints. I would recommend and will play again if I'm back on Oahu.
Reems Creek Golf Course
Played On 07/29/2019Could be a nice course
Read good reviews so while in the area, I gave it a shot. The place is definitely in need of some improvements. Either that, or the weather has just been awful so they can't keep up with maintenance.
It was Monday morning at 11:00 so it's hard to know how how it would during a very busy time (it wasn't too busy at all). The club house seemed fine. Not a great deal of golf gear so bring what you need (they didn't have a med-large glove I was hoping to buy). Range balls were a collection you'd find at a muni and the range is relatively small (sign asks for irons only).
The tee boxes were not in good shape, with lots of bare spots on the box and lots of high grass on the edges of the box. The fairways were good for the most part and the greens were also good, although they were soft and slow. The bunkers were in terrible shape. Most were washed out and unraked. Apparently they had some serious rain (according to one of the folks I played with) so they hadn't done any real maintenance to deal with that.
The course has a lot of elevation changes, some blind shots and strategically places hazards/bunkers. Nothing too tricky but if you can get a yardage book (I didn't) or can get paired up with someone with knowledge, you'd be better off.
I'll likely try it again if I'm staying in the area but I'd hope they've done some work on the place. It has great potential. Would only recommend if they've had an opportunity to do some work on the place.
Thanks for your comments. We are the new owners as of January 2020 and we will be upgrading the course...please try us again.
