I play 2-3 times per week and have played a multitude of courses all over America. But this course was quite possibly the best I've ever played. I played Ko Olina last week which was phenomenal and this was better. The greens were perfect - fast but true, fairways were like carpet and the layout was amazing. It would be hard to imagine a better experience. Will definitely be back before leaving the Islands.

Nice, flat course with plenty of roll in summertime. Enough challenges to make it fun but not so much that you lose confidence. I thought it was a very good value for the money I paid.

This is my home course. It's a great course except some of the fairways are extremely rough. Since the restaurant left they have vending machines for snacks and drinks. Greens were not "green" but they were thick and in good shape. I really enjoy the course.

Fantastic course layout. Forces you to think and play rather than just hit the ball and go from there. For as early in the season as it was, I was extremely pleased with the course conditions. Full, thick fairways where the only bad lie was from an errant shot into the trees. Greens were a bit thin in places but to be totally expected for this time of year. You could tell the staff cared about the course and someone is paying attention. My only complaint is pace of play, but that is really on the golfers. There was only two in my group and had to follow a foursome through most of the day. They should have allowed us to play through. The group of ladies behind us was rude, hitting into us a couple of times so I guess the staff could have policed the pace a little better. However, I place most of the blame for that on the players. We should police ourselves regarding pace of play and etiquette.
The course was breathtakingly beautiful. Great character, challenges and beauty. Rolling hills and pretty cool pin/tee placement. Will absolutely return when back in this area.

Very hard to justify the price of $25 per person. This course has great character, but just hasn't been kept up. The greens were patchy at best, and typically threw up dust from the approach shot. Fairways were green but barely, with very thin grass that makes it very difficult to get a good lie. I was a little taken back when the clerk was telling me "they just aerated the greens, that's why we can offer a discounted rate." Well, let me tell you it wasn't a "discounted rate," especially for the conditions. And for her to tell me that told me all I needed to know.....they have no idea just how bad it is. Which, is more the pity given the great potential. Not trying to run the place down because a little TLC can go a long way but it's just not being taken care of.

I set up the tee time about two hours before we played so I don't want to be too critical. The course was in great shape, especially considering the time of year. The play was extremely slow though. To their credit, the Marshall kept us informed that it would be slow. I would have liked him to encourage a faster pace though. Another option would have been to pair my twosome which would have helped abit. That being said, I would definitely recommend this course. Great course, good price and everyone treated us well.

This course is always a great place to play. I found a deal for $25 (includind tax) on GolfNow.com, and that's just unbeatable for this course. I drove in from Beaumont and still paid less to play there (even with gas expense) than I would have paid at most of the local courses, and with the exception of one they aren't as good as EP.
