Poipu Bay Golf Course
About
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.

Awesome experience!
The course is in immaculate shape and you couldn’t ask for a better experience. The elements definitely make this course challenging given the intermittent rain and seemingly constant 20+ mph winds. The greens were slower than I would expect for a course of this caliber, but it was welcome after how much work it can take to get to the green in the first place. I would absolutely come back and play again.
Stunning!
One of, if not the best, resort courses I have ever played. Beautiful track, well maintained, tough but fair, pricey but worth it, all around show stopping golf course. The staff was awesome and even on a busy day we played in under 4 hours. Just play it if you can!
No service
So the course is beautiful but there is no restaurant or a place to get a drink except the cart girl. I did not see her until the 8th hole. Everywhere in Kauai is using Covid as an excuse to have no service.
Return trip to Poipu Bay
Enjoyed a wonderful round of golf. Spectacular views, great course, and very friendly staff. Pace of play was ideal as well. 18 holes in 4 hours.
So nice
So nice playing again tomorrow.
Great staff and beautiful course
Great course, great staff and a wonderful round of golf with two great guys from Minnesota. The only small complaint was the play of the group in front of us. We went around in 4 hours and 10 minutes. Easily could have been closer to 3’ 45”. But, I’d rake the same round again anytime, except my score. Ha!
Great day
What a treat to play this course. Ideal weather and breath-taking views. Course in excellent condition. Starter was very helpful to get us out early and pair up reservations to level out play.
Layout is nice and course is in good condition (although greens where very slow).
They have no off course amenities. Just a drink cart. For the price, it should be fuller service.
Rentals were new or in great condition.
