Very beautiful course with challenging but playable holes. Conditions were great, greens very fast. Superb, friendly and efficient staff.

This was a nice, well maintained executive course. Nothing tricky or too challenging. The greens were in outstanding shape! I don't mind playing a course if it is a little rough around the edges but do not like rough or choppy greens. These greens were exceptional for this kind of course.

Played 3 RTJ courses in four days and this course was in the best condition of all the courses. Course was beautiful, no trickery with a beautiful layout. Of the three courses played, this is one would chose to play again. Greens were great shape, rolled true and not severe. Very playable course but each hole was unique and interesting.

This course is beautiful and in good condition. The greens are challenging and most are multi-tiered with considerable slope. You do not want to be above the hole or two putts are going to be difficult.

Played the River course and made the mistake on not purchasing the course layout yardage book. Sixteen of the eighteen holes have water. Having never played there before, you could not see where the water was on every hole and the score card was an artist depiction and not accurate. You would hit what you thought was a great tee shot only to come up to the crest of a hill to find out that the water cuts into the fairway a lot farther than you realized and find out that you just lost another ball. Avoiding the water was not that difficult but from the tee it was not obvious how to do that. Course was is good but not great condition.

The course was beautiful, the condition was pristine and the amenities for guests are unmatched. We got an unbelievable GolfNow Hot Deal just after noon on a Saturday and we did not see a SINGLE golfer on the course, our twosome finished in less that 3 1/4 hours.
But from a golfing experience, it was not fun. Every hole was either straight up or straight down. Even the holes that headed straight downhill, the greens were nearly all elevated above the fairway in front and EVERY green was heavily guarded by deep sand traps. There is an extreme need for accuracy on the approach shot and you must fly every green. The penalty for not doing this was severe. I was fortunate to stay out of any of the many deep fairway bunkers... so if you are not very confident getting out of deep, soft sand bunkers, I would reconsider this golf course. Thankfully we got such a good deal because while we enjoyed the beauty and condition of the course we would not play it again

This is a very unique course on the hillside up above Kailua-Kona. I have played here both times I have been to Hawaii to play golf over the past three years. I love the wildlife especially the peacocks. The course is in excellent condition, the holes are unique but very playable with very little gimmickry. Many times the course is up in the clouds and mist. There is a lot of elevation gain and loss throughout the 18 holes. We always recommend this course to those golfing on Hawaii.

This isn't a fancy place but it is well maintained and in good condition. We were fortunate on the day we played, it was sunny and only slight breezes. My impression is that this is a "golfer's" golf course where many locals play. The course is fair but has its challenges without gimmickry. I would definitely play this course again, it was enjoyable and a fair test of ability.

We will definitely put this course on the list to take visiting guest to play. The scenery was beautiful and the course was in outstanding condition. It was nice to play a course that is not so long and rewards accuracy, but it was not too narrow.
