Summary:
This is my favorite course in the world. It is pristine and beautiful. The course requires strategy and thought and not brute power. Every single shot requires focus and concentration or you wind up with double bogey. The greens are extremely contoured requiring care with your approach shots, perfection with your chips and pitches, and great putting. Its just too good to be true at 6300 yards. Hit it solid and play very smart and you'll have a great day in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Summary:
A beautiful reasonable wooded course. One of the best I've ever played from top to bottom! Carpet like fairways. It's nice to see 5 point bucks and hear seals barking while trying to make a putt. Great staff and pro shop. You can see 5 different holes from the 100 yard long wooden planked deck. A really pretty, serene, and quality experience is to be had @ Poppy Hills. I liked the clock on the range which is hard to find anywhere? Beware of the Red Fox on 17. He will follow your cart and snag any food you have lying out. we didn't mind too much though. Don't miss this course.

Summary:
In my limited golf history, this is the most beautiful course I have played. Been to Hawaii many times, but this is #1. Played on a foggy morning, that only added to the charm and beauty...I hear it's like this most of the summer.
Challenging is the very least I can say. Trees are a factor on every hole, greens are protected by monster bunkers, and the greens will bring you to your knees. The morning I played was moist (so they played a bit slow), but got a taste of the speed during the later holes. I can see how they could set the pin locations to test even Tiger.
Start off the course with the #1 handicapped hole as number one...trees to the left, sloping gully to the right-green surrounded by bunkers, with no where to land except the small/elevated green!!!

Beautiful club house, with moderately priced food. For early tee times, come early and have breakfast first. Average sized putting area, and a hit off the ground driving range. Pro shop is OK.
