Puakea Golf Course

Had a fun time with my dad while on the beautiful island of Kauai. Better cost compared to some of the other insanely expensive courses you can play. Good greens and mostly good conditions, with just a few tee boxes in not great shape. Some locals in front of us clearly "on" something and slowed us down towards the end, taking forever to find their balls, but it was fine. No starters or marshalls, and great staff.

First time playing but my dad’s 3rd… good fairways and greens, some work to be done on a few tee boxes. No starters or Marshall’s so on the last 6 or so holes a couple locals were going very slow and looking for their balls left and right, so what could’ve been a sub 4 hr round turned into 4 1/2. But it’s island golf so slower is fine. Beautiful views of the mountains, and overall an enjoyable experience. Great staff too!

Course was challenging but fair. Very good greens. Reasonable price for the Island.

I would like to see at least 2 water stations on the course. Maybe one on the front nine and one on the back nine.

Staff was friendly, other players were polite. Best course for the price on Kaua’i. The greens were better than other courses charging over double. Good layout. I would definitely recommend and play again.

Course needs some better maintenance, the marshal was a complete jerk, there was virtually no one on the course, we were at the first tee box 10 minutes ahead of our time and he told us to hurry up…never thanked us for paying $350 to play….

We were set up to play at 9:00am, got the verification e-mail. when we checked in they told us our tee time was 8:40 because a tournament was behind us. I rechecked my e-mail and the time had changed. I had checked it the night before to make sure we were on time because I had the same problem on Oahu with a wrong tee time. Normally no problem, but, they didn't reach out to let us know we got moved up so we were in a rush to make the time. Made the box on time but were rushing the first couple holes to get stretched out and relax to enjoy being in a beautiful place. Ended up playing decent. The surroundings were just as I remembered, with a few more houses sprinkled in. Hawaii is never a bad place to golf. Enjoy

Front 9 was in really nice condition Back 9 had green traps in repair and tee boxes were in bad condition., un mowed, etc. still really enjoyed our time and enjoyed the various challenges.

The staff at the course were excellent. Driving range very good. Lots of construction on the course but that did not affect playability. Front nine greens airated but no problem. Back nine greens excellent. Overall great experience.

Sand traps are being reworked so 9 holes open weekdays, 18 holes open on weekends. Traps not playable so get free drop outside.
