Waikele Country Club

For being a country club and the money paying to play, there was no cart girl or cart beverage out on the course. Most country clubs I've played have it or have water stands by every few holes to get a drink of water. Still would go play this course again but it would be nice if beverage cart was going around.

Staff: Pro shop and starters not friendly at all.

No beverage cart

No water stations

Had torrent clubs charged $65 for 5 year old clubs.

Greens were bombed out.

Just not what they think they are as a golf club! Way better options for cheaper.

Need to manage slow teams. I was the fourth team out in the morning and it took 5 hours to play our round because the first team was so slow.

Course was in great condition and green was rolling good. Course on the shorter side but plenty of challenges around the green to keep you guessing. Pace of play was the best I’ve seen in Oahu as most courses are slow. We finished within 4 hours.

The good:

The layout is a lot of fun and wide open. Good variety of holes. Greens have a lot of undulation and after the first hole I figured out why they need to keep the speed down. Course condition I’d give it an 8/10. As usual in my various rounds on Oahu some bunkers had sand and some didn’t. Bunkers should have consistent sand.

The bad:

Pace of play was really bad. Gentlemen in front said he plays out here often and it’s the worst he’s ever experienced. Summer time play should always have a beverage cart for drinks to stay hydrated. At no point before we started play did a staff member inform us that there wouldn’t be a beverage cart. Only water available was at a water fountain by the bathroom. The water came out as a slow trickle and smelled… well… not so good.

All in all if it wasn’t for the slow play and lack of a beverage cart it was great.

Always enjoy this golf course of what it has to offer. Great golf course, great food and Awesome overall Hawaiian Vibe!

This course was in amazing shape! A bargain for Hawaii golf. While there were no true ocean views the layout was beautifully done ! There was an event in the clubhouse which made getting food a little bit of a hassle and the cart person was not much better The shop is well stocked with items and the range is close by for easy warm up . I would recommend playing here for sure and will add to my future trips!

Course is in immaculate condition, layout is challenging but still enjoyable. May not be next to ocean or anything but still has a nice scenery with the beautifully manicured water features and the view of the bay. Will definitely include this course again in our next trip to Oahu.

We're on vacation from the mainland. Waikele is a beautiful course. The layout is challenging,. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are well-maintained. Staff is friendly.

However, the pace of play was extremely slow. From hole 2 through 18, we waited an average of 5 minutes at each hole, There were several groups waiting at each hole. For a 5-1/2 hour round, we rate pace of play at Waikele as poor.

We learned from a Marshall at the 12th hole that there was a tournament in front of us, but we wished he would have tried to speed up play instead of just agreeing that it was slow.

Everything about the course was near perfect. Pace of play wasn’t good. We had to wait 10-15 min per hole due to slow slow group ahead of us. Tee boxes were the best I’ve ever seen

This course is wonderful. The non resident rate is just too expensive. Also the food servers are not friendly at all. Just not what it should be when you’re playing at a country club.

Haven’t lived in Hawaii for years. It’s good to come back and play the old courses again. Unfortunately, no dice to get a local rate - so everything feels pricey. But compared to other courses this one has a fair price especially if you get the golf now deal. We played it two days in a row once from the forward tees once and ones from the back tees. I did a lot better from the forward tees as a 12 handicap. there are at least an average of 25 to 30 yards difference, if you’re a single digit play back if not, I suggest you move forward.. staff is super friendly and a great greens - little quick even after a passing shower.

I played with my wife for Mother’s Day, was our first time . The course if so well maintained and manicured,, fairways are very very nice making you willing to walk bare shoes 😀

Course is very open and large, with some nice view , carts are brand new; of the best course we played in Honolulu!,
