Hawaii Kai Golf Course

Absolutely not worth the money - paid $165 x2 for essentially a crappy municipal course experience

Positives

1) Easy to reserve on Golf Now

2) Great views

Negatives

1) Staff; largely disengaged/uninterested; wife and I arrived at 7:15 for a 7:44 tee time; asked if coffee was available - got back, “… we could make it.” - then some mumbling and person at the snack bar area wandered off

2) Pro shop bathroom disgusting … needs some serious deep cleaning if not complete remodel

3) Main Issue - Course in very poor condition .. all fairways dry and brown - weeds and crabgrass everywhere - sand traps hard pan sand/dirt

I wouldn’t write this up only for negatives items 1 and 2 - but the course is a wreck - not sure how you can dry out a course in March in Oahu … but this one is … feels like playing the Dyess AFB base course in Abilene, TX

I wanted to play the course and an opportunity arose. I was a little disappointed in the greens as they were a bit bumpy, and rather slow compared to other courses I played on Oahu. However, given the trade winds were 30+ mph, if the greens were lightning fast it would have been unplayable. I enjoyed the course, and 4 hours is a nice pace.

it is nice to play here. Pretty moderate course

not too much difficult , not too much easy

relax golfing

Good course in a beautiful area. Nice people there.

Great course in a beautiful part of the island. Some basic holes and a few tough ones. I enjoyed almost every minute of being there from the kind and helpful golf shop to the beer in the cafe after playing.

Mark -10 handicap from Seattle.

We played golf at this course every time when we are in Hawaii. We’ve checked in about an hour early a guy at the pro-shop reminded us that we are very early. We asked for power cart so that we could go practice at the driving range. He refused us to give us power cart and shouted at us saying we paid “hot deal” for green fee that he won’t give us power cart until our start time???????? He was very mean and treat us like a cheap.

This one person I don’t want to name but very rude.

Booking with TeeOff.com so that we could get discounted last min tee times but for his eyes “you are so cheap this is how I’m going to treat you” so shame😡😡😡

Grumpy people post bad reviews … ignore them! Is this a posh Waikiki Country Club? No, but it is fun and challenging, quite picturesque, had very nice staff, and is quite affordable for Oahu golf! Further, there IS a restaurant with food and drink, they will load a cooler for you, and even deliver food to you on the course. I will never try to understand haters and why they love to post bad reviews …

Slow bumpy greens. No water in all washers. Expensive for experience. Poor value

2nd time playing the course within a week. Very friendly accommodating staff. Greens had improved somewhat. But f following 3 twosomes that could not stay ahead of our group of 3 was brutal, resulting in a 5 hour morning/afternoon round.

Challenging & Fun, but needs faster greens. Group in front of us was two holes behind, not just because they were inexperienced golfers, but had no understanding about pace of play. Taking pictures on the green when there two groups waiting on the tee, and consistently ignoring the cart signs driving all around the greens was not cool. Need a marshal to remind people.

Enjoyed the course and scenery very much.
