Rating 71.7

Waikele Country Club sprawls across the gently sloping landscape of Waipio, just west of Waikiki. The golf course overlooks Pearl Harbor with views stretching to Diamond Head. The layout features rolling fairways and undulating greens, which are accented with strategically placed bunkers. Ted Robinson designed the course, incorporating his signature water features throughout. Keeping the ball in play off the tee is integral to scoring well on this layout. The fourth hole is a short par 4 that is known for being one of the course's greatest challenges. It plays downwind, requiring a skillful lay-up off the tee in order to set up the short-iron approach to the two-tiered green that is protected by a pond. On Waikele Country Club's back nine, the 17th is another favorite hole amongst players. Beginning on an elevated tee, the hole plays to a deep, narrow green with water and a small sand bunker to the front.

Really enjoyed it

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.

Gorgeous golf course

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!,

Ice course with some views of harbor, greens are not consistent but still nice , some bunkers had no sand so you had to feel it before play, but it’s good enough for hitting long shots

One of the better courses in Oahu

First time playing at Waikele. Previous reviews were quite mixed but decided to give the course a try. It’s a fairly well-maintained course overall. Greens were in good condition two weeks after aeration which was surprising. Two biggest complaints about the course, the bunker sand was so hard packed; and the cart girl was nowhere to be found. Absolutely worth playing and good bang for your buck.

A “must play” course

I’ve played most of the courses on Oahu and Waikele is the one like to play as often as possible. It’s a nice layout and always in good condition.

One of best public courses on Oahu

This is a really fine course. I only gave it four stars for course conditions because they had recently punched the greens. Although the rates are somewhat higher it’s still a good value and a fun course to play.

Be careful with aeration date!!

Waikele golf course does NOT tell GolfNow their aeration dates and basically does not care about your reservation.

“If you’re making reservation at our website, then, we can inform you but if you’re making your reservation through GolfNow, you’re on your own.”

They don’t take any responsibility for it.

While other golf course such as Hawaii prince tells GolfNow to let user know about their aeration in advance, this course doesn’t.

Other than that, it’s good course to play.

Golf in Paradise

Nice rolling terrain and very scenic. Greens very tricky. Only bad thing about this course is that the sand traps had very little sand in them and were hard as rock underneath making it almost impossible to get a nice shot out. Fortunately I only had to play out of them twice.

Road Noise golf course

Most fairways are close to very noisy roads.

Parts of fairways were beat up.

Signage was so bad, couldn’t find second hole.

We would highly recommend this course

Very nice layout. Challenging, but fair. The pace of play was very good. This is very attractive course with nice clubhouse amenities. The overall design (Ted Robinson) is very well thought out and we had a very enjoyable experience. We would recommend this course and will play it again on our next trip to Oahu.

Poor course management.

Put too many players on course. Played 9 holes in 2.45 hours. Spoke to PGA Pro on site about it as we stopped after 9 and he gave me nonsense excuse for such. Asked for a 9 hole refund and he said sorry but no way. Waste of money and time. No one expects to play 18 hours of golf in five and half hours.
