Temp was in the upper 50's while the rest of the Bay Area was in upper 60's and 70's. Started play at before 3 and finished with plenty of daylight. This is a nice course but wasn't that impressed compared the TPC courses I have played around the country. For a TPC course the greens were SLOW. The range you are hitting off of mats with well used yellow range balls. The putting green and chipping green were nice though. This course you have to at least draw the ball on 4 holes. If you get stuck behind a cypress tree you are guaranteed a bogey. Sand traps were not consistent. Some were really fluffy and others were like hard pan. Tee boxes were not level and had to be careful where you tee it to not have a hanging lie. To me the price with the Golfnow was ok but not worth it since it played like a average muni, and for a TPC course it did not play to one. I would only recommend this course just for the history this course has.

Greens were smooth and rolled true and quick. Pace of play was good, only had to wait on a couple of holes. The ocean views were awesome in the distant. With Golfnow.com tee times the price was worth the short drive from the Bay Area.

What can I say, you are in Maui playing golf. Staff was friendly from start to finish. Greens rolled perfect and true. I probably would not walk this course due to the elevation changes. The wind was very strong but the views made up for it. I will be playing this course again when I came back.
