Hawaii Kai Golf Course

Played the course pre-Covid and it was not in good shape at all but decided to try again since a friend said the conditions improved. I was happy to see that the course was in better shape and looked like work had been done since my last visit.

The problem I had was the pace of play was really slow. It took 5 hours to play the round and I never saw a marshal the whole time we were on the course.

Also the food place closed at 3P which is really early especially on a weekend. We wanted to get something to eat/drink and there were several other people there asking the same thing.

Fairways were very dry, a lot of brown grass. Greens were great shape though.

The last time I played was in 2020. The course seems a bit rundown now. However, coming from a cold weather climate it was good to just swing a club again. The front 9 greens we’re aerated but the back 9 greens were ok.

The price through Tee Off was appropriate for this course.

I shouldve listened to the Reviews for this course cause they are true

Charged me extra $25 for my wife to ride in cart

Too much sand on greens

Workers on almost every hole

Fairways not in Great Shape

No cart Girl or Beverage stand open

Only about 6 holes you can see the Ocean

And the Lady checking in, Personality of a Bran Muffin

Do yourself a favor and spend alittle more and play elsewhere!

Great championship course. Must play with awesome views!

Great course with difficulty. Shot 85 that’s 2 under my HI. Thanks

Greens slow. Course not very green and lush. Had some holes that were above average. Overall ok

This was one of my favorite courses played while I was in Hawaii! The mountain and ocean views while playing are stunning and the staff is the friendliest i have ever encountered and I an 62 years old and played a lot of courses! Believe me when I say for the buck you get treated great at this course!!!

What a wonderful course with mountain and ocean view opportunities! I play all over the world and this is now in my top 5 overall. The staff is unbelievable and views are great. Very inexpensive for what you get!!!!

A few years ago the locals had told me this course was very dry and not in that good of shape. I finally played there for the first time and was surprised to find it in great shape. The fairways were lush and the greens were in good shape. Maybe they've received a lot of rain recently. Regardless, I didn't see any dry spots. The bunkers were a little hard. They didn't have the soft white sand high end courses use. The pace of play was a bit slow. We got stuck behind a fivesome of seniors. No reason to rush. Everyone's on island time.

Layout is fun, good time with a couple of regulars that I was joined up with. Course has a number of elevated greens and doglegs, plenty of scenic views. Could use some water and care, number of dry areas, but all in all enjoyable. Driving range and restaurant open later than early tee times so no point showing up for warm up and breakfast.
