Hawaii Prince Golf Club - A/B Nines

This is a well maintained course but very flat. Generous fairways, nice greens (moderate speed at 6-7 stimp meter). The layout was uninspiring because of the flatness.

There was a 5-some ahead of 3 groups of 2-somes including my 2-some. So there was quite a bit of wait on every leg of each hole. It didn't help that the 5-some were always out of the fairway looking for balls.

If you’re looking for a challenging course, this isn’t it. But if you’re like me and hadn’t had a chance to play much before getting to Hawaii then it’s really a good time. It’s well maintained, staff got people on and kept pace moving quickly.

Downside: and this is a huge caveat because it was my mistake, not the course’s. Being a first timer, by a cursory glance at Google Maps I thought this course was located next to the ocean. It’s not, but rather next to a piece of property that is itself connected to the ocean. So there are no stunning views unless you’re a real estate agent, because the whole course is locked in a residential neighborhood.

Again, not the course’s fault, there was no deception, I just didn’t pay close enough attention. For a similar price I could have played a mountain course but at the end of the day, it was a nice course with friendly, helpful staff and the three 9s they have allow them to move pace of play quickly so you’re never standing more than 5 min waiting on the people in front of you to hit.

I’d play again for sure if I also had a chance to play a more scenic course during my visit. One positive is this course is flat as my home state and very walkable, which after a week of tourist food was welcome.

3 nine hole courses, A-B-C, Would recommend A and C. Course was in great shape and staff was super friendly. Had a 5 some in front of me, was able to finally play through. On A had a single in front of me “practicing” and hitting off the reds. Was really difficult to play through him, he had a hard time finding his ball. Might have just been my bad luck to have him in front of me. Overall, don’t let that scare you away from this course, it was fun to play.

Played last minute all by myself for less than $60. Never had to wait and no one was behind me at any time.. Course is relatively flat with generous fairways and water hazards that do not come into play unless you make a pretty bad swing. Greens are in good shape, with manageable speed and break. GPS was not working and didn’t find many distance markers. Not a spectacular course but ideal for working on your game.

Three 9’s with a mix of water sand and lots of hilly terrain. Only real negative is the course overall was dry from precipitation and they have clipped the fairways much shorty than needed as there were many ‘burned’ areas from the mowers. Greens were fair, layout was challenging. We’ll worth the visit. There is a large practice facility however you were limited to mats on the range. Proshop had limited access due to Covid. Our next visit may include dinner in the restaurant. The course is located in a flight path for the airport, otherwise no complaints.

Very nice very user friendly enough water to make it challenging nice wide fairways

I was able to play at a good golf course at a reasonable price for a beginner.
