Great track
Beautiful and challenging golf course with some spectacular views. Course was in excellent condition. Only issue was no restaurant/bar area so eat before you play as there is no food available. You can get a drink from the cart girl.

Club rental not recommended
The course was in great shape except for the bunkers, they were wet and packed. They had Callaway clubs, but it was not a matched set. The grips were worn and terrible. Somehow I ended up with a blister on my left hand. I used the same brand of glove I have for years and years and I have never got a blister playing golf. Did give you a bag of six balls but they were the cheap super soft. I would think for what you pay to play here they could at least give you chrome soft (x). I would recommend the course, but do not recommend the club rental

Tough Track
Well maintained course, rough was thick ,lava fields swallowed up a few of my balls. Green aeration affected putting and we had a 3 putt max. Views of ocean, mountains, and nice homes made the day.

Simply beautiful!
Wonderful layout, beautiful scenery and 18 different holes - all memorable.
Easier at least for me than the North Course.
Fairways, greens are in pristine condition. Doesn’t hurt when you play well and get to see humpback whales playing off the shore.
