I played with my elderly father and it was enjoyable for both. There is no practice range rather a net which is ok to warm up, but not tournament caliber start up.

Nice layout with enough twist and turns to keep you figuring out what club to use. The fact the forward tees are really fair for seniors was a plus to play with my Dad. People are nice enough..

Short course with most of the difficulty in shot shaping. Course hosts mayors outings and others and offers an entertaining day out. Course is for short game improvement, likely more attractive to a more mature golfer. Its no Marion, however, bending shots is not as easy as it looks. Just about every hole requires some shot shape. Several blind shots so keep your eye on where your ball was heading.

It could be a pleasant afternoon to hone new skills. Nice course to walk

A scenic setting course. Lots of topology mixed with length, bunkers, and fast greens. Great shape, a challenge from the tee to the green. The tees are also designed well for shorter hitters. Course management is key to this course, a great drive in the wrong place makes the second shot pretty interesting.

I enjoyed the course immensely, playing from the back tees requires a very good second shot to par or better the holes. The clubhouse is nice, although it is a limited bar and grill that perhaps will evolve in the future.

Manakiki is a wonderful course mixing length, dog legs, rough, hazzards, and bunkers with accuracy. This course is well maintained, and a challenge every step of the way. Bunkers are lined with fine sand offering the opportunity to exit gracefully or not. The rough is a real challenge with the best stratedgy being keep the ball in the fairway. The terrain is frought with inclinations, hills and angles. Course management is as much a part of the game as keeping it in the fairway.

The greens require one to read a putt well as there are angles, shelfs and breaks that are not meek. This all interprets into a fun, but challenging course. One will exercise every club, and type of shot know to golf.. Coollll!!

Nicely laid out with long holes 560+ par 4.s and 3,s.. 27 holes provides good variety. Nice, rustic club house great for outings. I plan on playing the course much more.

I enjoyed this course that once hosted PGA events, however, those days are past. Placing condition aside, the course is a challenge based on a combination of layout and to a lesser degree distance. I will qualify that just by saying I am bit of longer ball player. However, the strategic challenge of elevation changes, twists and turns require good power with finesse.

I would say most players of private clubs would rate the fairways and greens at below average. I would say the course condition is equivalent to average that of better public courses.

The course with a few years of aggressive care could host an LPGA, Juniors or State Amateurs tournaments. As for my experience, I played the course in its best days and again recently. I very much enjoyed the people I played with, the clubhouse and the memories. There conditional issues were exaggerated by the very dry summer.
