- KCKevin ClarkNov 7, 20251.0Course was outstanding. Unfortunately, experience was ruined thanks to other golfers playing horribly slow. Called the clubhouse to ask them to send someone out to talk to the golfers as they don’t have marshals regularly driving around. The marshal they sent out did nothing and when he talked to us after the round didn’t care about the behavior and was dismissive. It’s unfortunate that for the price you pay, the course doesn’t have a marshal or a staff that ensures the experience is great.
- EKErik KustNov 7, 20251.0Beautiful course. Need a marshal in the worst way. We tried our best to be in the aloha spirit the whole round but had a group of 2 who probably never have golfed before that took 1.5 hours for the last 3 holes, and refused to give a crap. Bummer! Expect better course management for a $300 round
- RBRussell BeaulieuOct 10, 20255.0All I can say is… wow. First time golfing in Kauai and this is the way to do it. Tee time at 7:45, we got there early enough for a WARM welcome including a complimentary golf towel before loosening up on the range. Starter “Uncle Ricky” hooked us up with a couple of cold waters and we had a no stress start to our round starting on the back 9. Phenomenal views, challenging tee boxes, and just honestly complete relaxation while having the most fun possible on a golf course. Felt like we were the only 2 golfers out there (great spacing of tee times). Absolutely will go back if I get the chance. I miss it already!
- KMKaci McCullerOct 4, 20255.0Such an amazing experience. Not only is the scenery on each hole beautiful the staff is just as amazing! They are so kind and nice. They even offered to take pictures of my fiancé and I! I can’t recommended them or the course enough.
- JEJack EichenlaubSep 22, 20255.0Would give this place 10 stars if I could. To start clubhouse staff was so welcoming to us. The starter Ricky. “Uncle Ricky” he told us to call him gave us the rundown. Showed us right where the range was, reminded us to make sure we hit a couple putts uphill and downhill bc the greens were very quick but true. Then on the first tee box took our scorecard and gave us some pointers on each of the difficult holes on where to miss. Circled the picture holes, etc. The course was magnificent. Greens, fairways, bunkers (thankfully wasn’t in many of those) were immaculate. This course covers everything scenery wise. A lot of mountains, trees, garden style forests and valley cart paths through them on the front 9. The back 9 was truly breathtaking. There are so many signature holes on both 9’s but the back was unbelievable. A few of the holes almost didn’t even look real. Looked like a postcard or something. If I have one regret it’s not playing this course tipped out or the blues as you really get the entire course and the way it was designed to be played that way. My group wanted to play from the whites and I didn’t want to be that guy but kind of wish I did. A few of the very scenic holes especially the par 3 on I believe hole 7 or 8. you could tell were designed to be played from back there so it did cut a tiny bit of visual experience out but that was on me. All in all this course is worth every single penny and i’d do it again in a heartbeat.
