Scenic and enjoyable to play.
This course far exceeded our expectations. The greens were in excellent condition and for the most part the fairways were as well. So many interesting and scenic golf holes it really made for a great round. We have booked another round for today and expect it to be as enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this course.

Great layout but
The basics of the course are good, but maintenance budget needs to be increased.. Played two years ago and you can see steady decline in tees, traps, fairways and roughs ….. still a fun layout but getting close to having to invest major sums to get course in shape ….

Upslope awesome
Old school Hawaii . Beautiful course tons of wildlife . Relaxed atmosphere with a good pace of play . Real challenge from the tips but fairly easy forward tees . The carts are functional but...Was told new carts are coming . No way a deal breaker . No houses or condos like the coastal tracks . Love it !
