Island green on 17 Photo submitted by drksmith on 11/07/2012
Love this Course
This is a beautiful course. Lots of wildlife - birds, including chickens and wild turkeys and we were lucky enough to see a herd of goats of all sizes and colors.
Scenery is great from up there and it’s cooler weather.
Oh and plenty of interesting challenging holes. Island green on 17 and 18th green requires a shot over a large pond. Staff are friendly
One of our favorite courses on the island.
Great outing
Friendly, course in good shape overall.
Be prepared for tighter, fairways and dry conditions. Balls run out and hard to hold greens
Pace late morning easily accommodated some teaching time with a less accomplished golfer.
Excellent for higher handicap players. Hold 17 and 18 are too hard for average player
Course infrastructure needs improvement
The condition of the fairways and greens was generally good. What was poor was the condition of the supporting infrastructure, such as:
- frequently poor state of areas around greens and approaches
- poor state of many cart paths, curbs, and steps
- empty or half-filled ponds, exposing the plastic liner where there is one
- wood or pipes lying around
- vegetation often overgrown
While I understand the rate is lower than the courses down on the Kohala Coast that are in a better state, the course overall seemed like it has been neglected. I don't blame the staff, but the course owner who needs to put money into it. It's unfortunate because the views are indeed great.
Wednesday Golf
Please put the member tee blocks on the
Correct member tee boxes!
Would be nice to see some work being done to
Rehabilitate the tee boxes & fairways.
Greens are very good if a bit slow.
Lots of blind shots
No gps, no indication. Just a little print of the course on the score card. The course itself is not bad but so many blind shots …. Must play it with somebody who knows this course
Except for 1 hole the layout was excellent
Except for a single par 3 the layout was excellent. Pace of play wasn't good, no Marshall or checks. Course fairway conditions not great but greens were fine
Absolute Gem
Driving through the front gates and seeing #17 gives you an idea of how great this course is going to be. Staff is unbelievably friendly and there to make sure you enjoy your round. Good selection of shirts, hats and ball markers for the visitor to take home as well. The course demands accuracy off the tee, so put your ego aside and play the appropriate tees to enjoy yourself. Blacks are a beast, blues were challenging and it looked like most played whites (males) and reds (ladies). Greens are grainy with some undulations but very fair. Highly recommended.
Beautiful course
Very lovely course with great views and fun wildlife.
Fun Course
Although the weather was overcast and sometimes misting we truly enjoyed the course. It was not so difficult that my wife couldn’t enjoy it, but it had enough challenges to keep me on my toes!
