Nice course

Great course for those looking to play where the pros play. Course’s biggest defense are the greens which are almost all elevated and have undulations. Driving range is nice and food is generally priced as any resort would be.

Greens were recently aerated, which was the only detractor from this course. Service is amazing, course is beautiful. Great course to play.

Great greens, great staff

I enjoyed this course despite playing poorly. The pace of play was slow compared to Turtle Bay yesterday where I was able to play by myself after my partner dropped when it rained.

The course at Ko Olina was in excellent shape and the greens were outstanding. Smooth and fast. Excellent staff, very aloha. Apparently the range is mats twice a week and that's what I got but the range is well marked and there is a nice putting green.

Awesome day

Anyone wanting to play when in Hawaii you have to make Ko olina your first choice.

Though I'm not a millionaire they treated me like a million bucks. The staff was super friendly and curtious. Gave me some great advice and some pointers before I headed to the first tee. I will definitely be back to play.

Mahalo for everything. Thanks for making my experience a great one.

Golf is great in Hawaii

As Canadian, being able to go out to a tropical destination at the winter tail end meant so much for golf. And being able to play in one of the finest golf clubs in Oahu like Ko Olina Golf Club with very friendly staff and ground crew and of course the amenities and the course layout itself, prove that destination golf was worth a lot and enjoyable!

The Fairways were in nice shape. They were aerating the greens so they were almost unplayable. I feel the course is a bit overpriced for that reason.

Forgettable

For what you get, this course is grossly overpriced.I've played muni courses that are three times as aesthetically pleasing for a quarter of the price. It's a "residential" track, i.e., houses lining certain fairways, if you don't mind that sort of thing (I do). The wind was up, which made even the easier holes challenging. The greens rolled well but there were too many conspicuous previous cup placements; it became a running joke. Maybe a handful of holes were memorable.

But kudos to the staff. They were unfailingly friendly & helpful. And the grass range & short game practice area were sweet. Not nearly enough though to bring me back.

Great course for a resort!

Great course and layout. Greens not perfect, and resort layout/feel but challenging nonetheless.
