Cost to condition not a value

Course not in good shape, greens are inconsistent.

No food available

No drink cart service

No ice chest on cart

No towels on cart

Entire facility is poorly maintained.

It’s still golf in Hawai’i, so it’s still nice to get out, but this is a $40 course they charge $150 for.

The only good side of the course is the kindness of the staff. Especially the guy at the check-in.

Condition of course has declined

I’ve played this course several times while on vacation over the last several years. It has really gone down hill-the greens are really slow and the fairways have a lot of weeds. Also, the pace of play is slow. There are better courses for the money.

Dont play here, especially if your not from Hawai'i

160 bucks to play the worst course ive ever played. Greens were unkept, fairways were non-existant, cups hadnt been changed in way too long, overall very upset. This could be a bang for your buck muni, but only if it cost less than 20 dollars. Absolutely terrible.

The course is in fair to average condition. The young man who worked in the pro shop was one of the friendliest staff persons I’ve met.

Loved the layout, we played off the white tees which makes the course quite easy.

Not too impressed with the fairways which really needed to be mown, however the spectacular views made up for that.

Would definitely play the course again

Not good

When we arrived it looked like it was closed. The clubhouse/pro shop/restroom was outdated, dark and dirty. Staffed seemed not happy to be there. They did let us get on 45 minutes early. However it took 2.5 hours to play 10. We had to skip 2 holes as there was a group of y in front of us. Needles to say facility management was poor. Sorry but not worth the $100 USD we paid to play.
