Puakea Golf Course

Golf course playable for Hawaï :

Lots of wind, bring lots of balls to play!

Nice practice area, friendly staff.

More of a city layout, greens are hard to putt!

Great place to play, the staff is awesome and the greens are rolling fast. Played there 4 times in the past 10 days. Best value for sure! 👍🏌️⛳️

Interesting layout but really needs some TLC. Fairways and greens okay, but tees, rough and bunkers are subpar. Lots of weeds, some areas unmoved recently and bunkers were mud holes. Adjacent restaurant must be good based how crowded it was (half wait for table). However, it was not golfer friendly.

some hole really challenging, with great canyon and mountain views. Lots of fun.

Greens are in good shape and fairways tee boxes need a little grass overall good course to play for the money is well worth it.

Good bang for the buck. Fantastic layout. Course upkeep mediocre including alot of ruined areas by wild pigs. Not disappointed though and would play it again.

Interesting layout. Had several shorter par fours, but once on the green the challenge had only begun. Conditions were above average for a daily fee venue. I’ll go back.

My husband and I had not played this course since 2017, since after that it was closed and then, when reopened, was 3 to 4 times the price (now $179). After reading some of the reviews, we were hesitant to book, but we have great memories of this course, and decided to give it a try after finding an online price of $129. The scenery and great views are still there to enjoy and every hole is unique (awesome par 3 #6). Range balls are included and the practice areas are great. We found all the staff members welcoming and helpful. Once on the course, the bunkers don't seem to be maintained at all, and there are several other areas which need some work. Although we enjoyed our round, we still thought the green fee was too high for the conditions of the course.

I love this course! It’s beautiful with challenging and interesting holes. It winds through beautiful wooded areas as well as wide open fairways with stunning mountain vistas. The staff is very courteous and helpful. I’ll definitely come back to play here!

The only shortcoming is that the grill has a very wide variety of offerings but ordering- even from the 8th hole- is a chore. After scanning the QR code on the cart you then have to create an account to submit an order. A bit cumbersome when you are trying to focus on playing. If you don’t do this and think your order is complete it’s not.

Any hot food - hot dog, BLT, or anything requires cooking means a 20 minute wait at the turn if not ordered ahead.

Otherwise a fabulous place. Just bring some snacks if you don’t want to eat there.

The course and layout is beautiful as long as you hit it in the fairway and on the green all day. Should you veer off the preferred route the bunkers and rough are unmaintained.

All good if you keep it on the fairway and greens. Bunkers and rough are a little unkept. Beautiful layout and views.

The course is a little rough. It looks like they are cutting back on maintenance...or it is winter!

I respect the dress code...but I showed up unprepared. I was reminded that collared shirts are required. I get it and respect it. I just failed to pack correctly. The odd part was that the staff in the pro shop and restaurant did not seem to be following the dress code.

The course has some rough spots. It looks like they have been cutting back on maintenance.

The sand traps need some work and some of the fair way need attention and tee boxes areas need a lot of attention.And the green needs more consistent speed !

The course was beautiful and fairly challenging so definitely worth experiencing.

The staff were not very friendly or helpful.

The restaurant is super slow (though food was tasty). Give yourself an extra hour before tee time if you want to order food. There was no drink carts coming around either.
