Fantastic little 9 hole course

This little course was fantastic. The fairways and greens in general condition of the course was phenomenal. Yes it’s only a nine hole course but believe me after walking it you’ll be worn out. Would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to play a great course in a beautiful setting

Maui in South Bay

The Course is amazing . I can’t imagine a more scenic executive course .. maybe the 9 hole at Augusta.?

The golf staff is on top of everything at this spot !

I was a little hot when I arrived because I did not know there was a $15 parking fee. I understand that resorts are hurting but I was not informed of this on Golfnow. One of the managers informed me that I could park at a free lot on property. Very nice of them . Thank you golf staff for that !

Like I said the golf staff is tops !

PARKING CHARGE NOW

I've played here over the years and the resort has never charged for parking to the golfers. But since reopening from Covid, they now charge $15 to everyone including golfers so keep that in mind when you go. They also closed the putting and short game practice areas so you can't even warm up. I find it ridiculous when businesses are in need to patronage more than ever from a historic pandemic and you decide to start nickel and diming the few customers you get. There were plenty of parking spaces even before the pandemic. I like the course but not enough to go back.

Great small links

An authentic links course, albeit a very short one. 9 holes, all par 3s. The ocean wind typically makes it a challenge. The layout, greens and bunkers are too notch. Resort pricing is the only downside. So I almost always get a 'hot deal' to ease the pain vs. a more affordable Muni track. Green fees aside, LOVE this course.

Great Round, Nice staff, insane Views!

Greens are very challenging. When they tell you everything breaks towards the clubhouse, Believe Them! Even if it looks like it’s going to break the other way ;-).
