Puakea Golf Course

The views are amazing. Some greens are in bad shape. Very interesting layout not to hard. I would definitely play here again.

This is an interesting course with several pretty holes. It was in reasonable shape from tee to green, but the greens are very inconsistent. Some were in good condition and several were very bumpy with poor grass cover. Many bunkers come into play. Pace of play was good. Two of us took less than three hours starting at 8:30 am. Would recommend the nearby Wailua course for condition of the greens and value.

I play the course every year while on Kauai. Good range, good carts, good layout. More then a few good holes. Got the $55 golf now rate which is good. The normal rate is a bit high for quality/condition of course. The greens are the biggest problem, maybe six are very rough, the rest are ok.
Because public courses are limited on Kauai I will play it again while here if I get the $55 rate..

Great back 9, great value some of the greens were in bad shape other greens were great

We really enjoyed our round at this course. The staff was very friendly and courteous from arrival to departure. The course itself was stunning and fun to play.

Wow, great staff, the course was in amazing shape, an we had a lot time play golf!!

We played week of Christmas 2015 in a 3 some including my son, son in law, and myself. I'm the only player who carries an index and play more than 50 rounds a year. the staff was really good. The rental clubs we had were very good. Stiff shafts with the exception of the woods. Course is un-walkable so don't even think about it. We rarely saw group in front or even behind. Pace was awesome. Stunning views

This course has great features, but poor greens condition. The Wailua Municipal course, 5 miles away, had awesome greens for a much cheaper "anytime" price.

Beautiful course, fun to play but I recommend bringing your own clubs, we rented clubs from the golf course and they were awful, I only had 11 clubs in my bag and they were old and beat up, the driver was better suited for a child, my husband's were just as bad and then we had to buy their overpriced golf balls and tees because they were not included

Excelant course for the value. Great views of local mountains on the back nine! Do your shopping afterwards, course is next to large shopping area!
Jack from Calif,

Good value, ok facilities, staff friendliness was just ok

I am enjoying golf for about 15years.
I live in Seoul Korea. I have gone to san francisco golf club though Golfnow.com.
I think that this golf club is good view and nice price ,normaly food .
But If I get chance come again in Kauai , I will book in this Golf club.

The reviews I'd read (from 2013) seemed to indicate that the course was dried out, but all the fairways were in great shape. Greens putted true. Some staff interested in making sure you had a good experience, others...not so much. The starter certainly did a good job of getting me pointed in the right direction...he asked the key question: "Have you ever played this course?"

I'll play this course again.

Conditions are drier compared to the high end resort courses. I do not believe fairways are irrigated. Few holes driving in was around the commercial areas, but I was pleased to see that the course quickly entered into the terrain around the resort and natural reserve areas. Bang for the buck is great. It was wonderful looking at the views. We finished 3 hours 20 minutes as a threesome with no one around. Tee time 10 AM. We appreciate the hard working locals at this golf course!

Course was a little dry.Weather to blame overall decent shape.

Overall a great time playing here. The staff were all super friendly and helpful from start to finish! The course was in pretty good shape and has some great holes, my favorite being a super down hill par 3 #6. The greens varied a lot so it's tough to get comfortable with speed and landing, but I heard they are working through each one. My biggest gripe would have to be the bunkers. Most looked very hard with little sand, and some have grass/weeds growing in them.

Great course. Need to make decisions as to club selection due to the wind. Many holes have bunkers that also demand course management. Beautiful views of the Kauai mountains. Some real beautiful holes. Fun to play.

I only play this course when I can get a steeply discounted rate. My wife drove about 45 minutes from Princeville to get there, and they let her ride along the first time to spot my balls, rather than either wait four hours or drive back to Princeville. The second time I played there, they wanted $20 for her just to ride along and enjoy the scenery, so she made the additional 1 1/2 hour round trip instead! They have water to drink along the course, and a dry towel, apparently in lieu of ball washers to wash your dirty ball. This course ranks low on many native Hawaiians priority list, although I thought the greens were excellent and better than those at Kiahuna. Wide fairways, lots of bunkers and some deceiving water hazards. It's across the street from COSTCO in Lihue and close to the airport, so gas up and have a slice of pizza there afterwards.

Course always in good shape, greens are true and smooth.

Très beau terrain avec une valeur qualité prix excellent pour Kauai.
Avec Golf Now le prix incluant la voiturette compétitionnait celui du terrain public de Wailua.
