Amazing Course

What a wonderful day. The course layout is great and in great shape. Animals everywhere and the views are amazing. We played several ocean courses during our stay and this blew them away. We will be back. Special shout out to the starter who was so great and helpful. No cart persons or restaurant, but drinks and snacks available.

Nice challenging course in very good condition. Would have been nice if they had GPS or better yard markings on the course. (They had some yard monuments in the fairway but were difficult to find.

Fun Track

Enjoyed my round here.

Nice layout, challenging without being penal.

Wind was swirling on quite a few holes which made club selection difficult.

Greens were good speed and smooth.

I'd say course conditions were better than muni, little below high end resort.

Lot's of Nene wandering the course. Great views from a few holes.

Friendly staff. Will possibly play again next visit. Actually liked the layout better than Hapuna at Mauna Kea resort.

It's Hawaii, so weather perfect. Aloha!

Always a good experience

The course offers a variety of challenges for all levels of play. Given the lack of rainfall recently, the course has weathered it well. Fairways and greens are in good shape. Snag one of the “Hot Deals” and you will get a good value for your experience! We return to play the course each year…multiple times when we can. Ask for Jim at the Starter’s desk. If he is around, he will treat you like family!

Outstanding golf with an old friend

The staff was super great, got there early for the 7 am tee time, gates open at 630am.

The staff could not have been any more pleasant, talked and informed us of the sites, volcanos we would see the wild life and what an over all great course. I would recommend it to any level of player. The 17th island green signature hole.

I will definitely be back next year when I’m here again.
