Poipu Bay Golf Course has an ideal location between the beautiful coastline and lush emerald mountains. The course sprawls across 210 acres of tropical flowers and vegetation. The site is the former home to an ancient Hawaiian village, whose remnants have been incorporated into the course. Golfers have the rare opportunity to play next to 500-year-old handmade stone walls. Poipu Bay's links-style layout features firm fairways, 85 bunkers, and five water hazards throughout. There are open fronts that allow the ball to roll onto the putting surface. Water hazards come into play on eight holes. The unpredictable winds are the most challenging element of this course. The final two holes provide a memorable finish. The 17th features an ancient rock formation known as Mahualepu and the last hole is a demanding par 5 with a large pond on the left and a lateral hazard on the right.

A Good Playable Resort course.

Poipu Bay is enjoyable to play.
The pace of play is usually very good, The course is well maintained and the staff is very personable.
The views on the back nine along the ocean during whale season are awesome.
An occasional rain shower will pass through but they usually last for a couple of minutes. As with any Hawaiian course its a good idea to pack an umbrella just in case.

I always enjoy this course, especially the ocean view holes

Great course that has great ocean view holes with holes that are short enough for a mid handicap golfer. Course was in great condition.
