Puakea Golf Course

The club house is pretty average but once you get past the first hole it is truly a beautiful course. Quite challenging as well; a truly fair test of golf. If I get back to Kauai I will definitely play Puakea again and would highly recommend it.

Course is great track with plenty of elevation changes, hole variety, and spectacular views. Staff is friendly and helpful. Fairways are wide and greens large to accommodate the wind. Greens in great shape, but not easy to read. A truly challenging yet
fun place to play. Par 3s offer great variety of shots, and there are 4 sets of tees with significant variance in distance, all in all, a great place to play, especially with the spectacular views of the surroundings.

Booked with Golf Now and got a good rate! Very enjoyable golf round.They met us at our car with a cart and were extrememly friendly and helpfull. Although I found myself in a lot of sand bunkers, but the sand was soft and easy to get out of. This was my second time playing here , first time was last week. It was a great price booked this way and so much more resonable than some of the other high rate courses. Great deal and very enjoyable!
Will definitely play here again when we come back to Kauai next year.

Excellent course, electric power carts and course play had no line ups or people pushing from behind.

I'm annual visitor to Kauai and this is consistently the best value on the island!
I suggest playing in afternoon and take advantage of lower rates.

great course great staff wonderful day on the islandfrom Glen the starter to the staff in this restaurant very friendlycourse in good condition green slow

We play this course every year. Best value on Kauai when booked through Golf Now. Staff are awesome.
When the trade winds kick in the course becomes more interesting.

The staff is very attentive and friendly. The golf course is in excellent condition and the pace play made it even more enjoyable. Course is a great value.

Almost North shore in character once you get going...first hole is flat and near the shopping center...then you go across the road and start to watch the mountain range faces...

Each hole has lush foliage surrounding it and the undulations and fair placement of the fairway bunkers and ponds added to the appeal.

The blue tees add some challenge and there was a championship tee box as well...

Fairways and greens were in very good condition...traps and water hazards are well designed. The layout is deceptive as you wind through adjoining the residential homes....

Very Good value if you can get the Golf Now deals...I greatly enjoyed the experience...

Positioned next to Costco, this course is a lovely experience and a true value. Very scenic with lots of sand traps. Back nine has you staring at the mountains and on 18 you look back and see the ocean. Carts were new and we have booked another -18 in two days..

Puakea is a great golf course that I play every time I visit Kauai. I played yesterday, 7/14/2014, and despite a couple of minor rain sprinkles, I had a very enjoyable round.
The course is challenging, yet fair. Beware of the bunkers, especially when there has been any rain. You will need to take much less sand than you are used to...or you will need to hit multiple shots to get out. Hit your putts firmly.
The 6th hole is spectacular. Downhill, through a tropical opening and over a large pond, usually with a helping breeze. The green surrounded by sand traps and jungle. Otherwise very easy, :). Choose your club wisely.

Excellent course for the money. Greens were in great shape and the course was very challenging.

From the road, the course looks fairly flat and easy. Not so. Nice use of angles and features like ponds and high grass. Number 12 is diabolical. If you're straight, course plays well. If you're off just a touch, get ready to be creative. Greens were a little slow. Bunkers deceiving. Very soft when you enter but not so soft underneath the ball, tended to skip the club rather than blast. Had a great time, would love to play again.

This course was pretty awesome. Rich at the course is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He was very accommodating! The lady inside was kind of mean but again overall this place was great. Only suggestion is that if you are greater than a 15 handicap is that you bring your clubs!

At first glance, I expected little from this course near Costco. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. The course meanders through hills and valleys with beautiful views of mountains, streams, and incredible tropical foliage.

I've played Poipu Bay and the Lagoons courses as well on this trip. My favorite has been Puakea!

Don't pass this course by.

Thanks GolfNow, $33 Hot Deal, best value on the island

This course is in great condition, their greens were excellent and the cost wasn't over priced. My girlfriend and I played four rounds during our three week stay on Kauai. I highly recommend playing Puakea.

A lot of golf for your buck compared to the resort courses.

The course is in good shape. We play this course a least a couple of times every time we come over. Whether you book online or call the course you will get a good rate. There twilight rate starts at 11am, $59 includes cart. Pretty good for Hawaii. My wife enjoys playing the course also. It is not a tricky course, you play what you see, which makes it enjoyable.

Kauai's prices are high but not this course. From the drive-by observer it looks uninteresting as it is near a shopping center, BUT when you get on it you'll find it is a LOT of fun. Enjoy!
