Summary:
This course is no longer such a good deal, $60 to walk Mon-Thru. $75 Fri-Sun. Plus $18 per person for the cart. (For off islander)

The course is a decent muni. But not worth that price. So-so conditions. The only true view of ocean is hole 17. Layout is just OK. (Muni) I have seen the starter frequently let out 6 players. Making for very slow rounds.

Customer Service:
OK

Summary:
Showed up on Mon. around noon w/ my 17 year old son. Figured we could get out and walk 18 after the locals had started to finish up their rounds and leave the course open to the mainlanders who wanted to deal w/ the afternoon tradewinds. Checked w/ the pro shop... it's wide open... and that will be $120!! What about a jr. rate for my son? What I say? $60! Stinkeye from the cashier.. no charge. Ended up at Puakea down the road and played after 2pm for $59.99, cart included, jr. plays for free. Don't expect to get any "aloha" at this course... It's for the locals, bruddah, and you ain't one of us! I'm like the previous post... a decent muni hack from the mainland who just wants a fair shake at a reasonably priced round of golf w/ my kid. "Aloha" means "goodbye".

Summary:
Usually I just play 9 here as a best ball effort with my wife. We used a Sunday Bag approved by the pro shop, then were reported by the local 8-some playing behind us. When the Ranger got 50 feet away he waved us on and turned around.
That said the course is fine but the locals apparently believe tourists should be paying big bucks to play elsewhere..I am a hard working stiff who saves up to come to Hawaii and don't appreciate the lack to golf etiquette displayed by their XXXXXXXX-somes (observed several times at this course)and lame squealing behavior.
The 1st few holes are along the ocean and very picturesque, most of the rest is challenging enough and treed with Palms to make it a fun experience.

Customer Service:
This is a slam-bam thank you mame operation. They are fair and fortunately are used to the locals themselves.

Summary:
Amongst the pricey resort courses on Kauai, this course is a gem. With the prevailing wind off the ocean, it's quite a test. The layout is mostly driver friendly and nailing the approach is required. You'll be looking at a high score if you short side the hole. It's not the most manicured course but for the green fee it's a great value. Playing midweek after 8AM is the best time to get on after the starter have gotten the fast playing locals out.

Customer Service:
Starters are a little surly but I have not had a problem despite the demand in play the course gets.

By island standards, this course is considered a goat track. But it beats most anything I play back home in wet and muddy Washington state.

Summary:
Just like Pacific Grove in Monterey...an absolute steal. You must be able to hit a fade and a draw here. Beautiful course.
I enjoyed it more than Poipu Bay. I played this course with my 10 yr old and it's something I will always remember.

Customer Service:
Perfect. Great people.
