A little bit of heaven
Beautiful setting, great layout, well maintained and super friendly staff. Needs a clubhouse for a 19th hole, restaurant and pro shop someday, but the golf is great.

Not your boring layout, for sure!
Great value for golf in Hawaii. Very interesting track with plenty of challenges. Treat yourself if you can hit the island green on 17 because it is very difficult to do. Good luck.

Fun play at a great “local” course
Lots of great golf to have at this course. Greens were in good shape, fairways were in pretty good shape, outside of that was pretty rough. Nice lay out, friendly staff. No real club house, but has the basics.

Not bad
I was a single-was lucky that the groups out there let me play through-played 18 in about 2.5hrs…interesting track, would play it again…I had a hot deal which was the proper price-course needs some love to bring it back to where it should be. The starters were fantastic.

Beautiful Course
Beautiful Course above Kona with distant views of the ocean. Interesting varied layout. No management of pace. The group two slots in front of us took 5 and a Half hours to play! Fortunately we didn't run into them until the back nine but it was excruciating.
