Puakea Golf Course

Bunkers have great sand, very playable, but greens inconsistent and slower than comparable courses. fairways need some attention, but generally good.

I was a little concerned about not being able to finish our round before sunset. The starter let us out on the quieter back nine first. The grass conditions were rough in a couple of spots but overall I had a great time playing this course. I will play it again when I come back to Kauai.

Puakea is a great course for all levels of casual golfers. The course lays out in front of the players with very few blind shots and very easy to navigate directions and cart paths. The price is reasonable, facilities are fine and the Staff is player friendly. We only played it once but would recommend it and will play it again on next trip!

We were rained out the first day on the first hole - they gladly rescheduled for the following day.

Lots of couples playing which slowed the pace down, but most were golf savvy and let me play through. Course was in great shape.

friendly staff
good condition, very lush
challange from blue tees; tips are too hard for most golfers
nice vistas
bunkering a bit unusual
Highly recommended I am returning in 2 days

This is a great course for the price. No two holes alike. The wind can make some of this very tricky.

From the nearby roads, this course appears almost simple. But, the challenging & interesting holes are in the back country, and they require some thought. The scenery is gorgeous, with long views of the area around Lihue. The value for the money is well above average.

The majority of holes are unique and not just the run of the mill back and forth. Lots of blind drives and curvy greens. Plenty of bunkers to find your ball. Water on quite a few holes. All which add up to a wonderful golfing experience here in Kauai.

Looking at all the lush green scenery can help get your mind off the cold weather and brown fairways back home in Texas this time of year. You will find the staff very helpful and the conditions are always great. Have played here every year since they opened and still find it fun and challenging!

Booked thru Golfnow.com and saved 20%. Not too many courses on the island with this quality and under $100.00. Staff very friendly and pace of play exceptional. The course was in great shape even after some rain.

Cool track. Some scenic holes, however no views of the ocean. Friendly staff and overall a good golf experience.

We enjoyed this course and found the design of the holes and the bunkering very challenging and interesting. This course will challenge any level of golfer but because of the bunkering might not be as enjoyable for a beginning golfer. Staff was very friendly and we thought this course was a very fair value. We will absolutely play again.

Really enjoyed the round. Felt like Hawaii even with one hole just behind Costco. Three sets of tees- no senior tees, so some par fours were long for me. Excellent greens and practice areas. Went back and played again the next day. Highly recommend.

I would say a good course for the money and a warm-up course for the rest of Kauai.

Very challenging course. The green have a lot of grain. Great value and great condition.

I played this course on December 28th, booking through golfnow.com ($50 including cart). I found out that I was a single and my wife decided to come along to ride in the cart. The course charged me $30 for her to ride along. This is the highest cart fee I have ever been charged, including Pebble Beach. This is very poor customer service and it will be a long time before I return to this course.

Course wise - it runs through a residential development. It is not friendly for walking - lots of terrain between greens and tees. There are a number of challenging holes, but the greens are mostly slow (furry) and inconsistent - very frustrating.

Overall = Fair. There are better golf experiences on Kauai.

Decent course in City of Lihue. Great value via Golf Now at only $55ea. Conditions satisfactory with some casual water due to recent (and in round) rains. Hole 6 is the highlight, 190 yard elevated tee box par 3, club down 2-3 irons. Overall, good value with no remarkable holes other than #6.

We had a great time on this beautiful and peaceful course. Great view of the green, lush mountains.

Great course in great condition. I was paired with a twosome at the first tee time of 7:30, but requested from the started that I go off as a single. He let me go, and I finished in a little under 3 hours (and that includes a little extra work on some shots). Lucky I did, as I was finishing up 18, the coupe I was supposed to play with was just making the turn.

I love the layout and the challenge of many of the holes.

staf was excellent on checkin and departure, course was in good shape and fair enough. Overall a nice experience.
