Bay View Golf Course

So I had the day off and decided to play this course based on some recommendations from other people on Yelp about it being a good course for the money. I got a discount and payed around $17.50 (cart included) for 18 holes plus $25 for club rental. I was looking forward to working on my driver but found out pretty quick this is a par 3 course with a few 4s thrown in. My biggest complaint was the upkeep of the fairways and greens. The fairways were what I would call "rough". I'm from Colorado and used to playing in wide open fairways with plenty of "forgiveness" if you don't hit it straight off the tee box. Not so here...the fairways were extremely narrow and unforgiving. I gave up on hole 7 because I lost four balls just trying to get a good tee shot. On to hole 8 and same thing but luckily my first shot was just inside the fairway. The tee boxes were so un-kept that there were weeds growing and were mostly dirt. The staff were friendly and accommodating but that's about the only good thing I can say about this course. My advice...wait until the twilight walking special because that's all I would pay to play this course.

Great course for those just starting out, especially women. It is also great for those who want to just home in on the tee.
Sharp shooter training.

I started at 9:35AM and it was raining until 11:30AM. If it wasn't raining I would have somewhat had a great time, although the grass is so thick and long in most places outside of the fairway it m,ade it difficult to enjoy the game. They really need to cut the grass shorter!

This is an executive course, and I'd say for a quick 9 or 18 holes after work it's great! Also great for bring out out newcomers to the game including your wife and kids. Very laid back without anyone pushing you to finish. The fairways are usually cut nice, and the greens have improved enormously over the last 5 years. The front 9 is simple yet fun and easy, while the back 9 is challenging and has the amazing views of Kaneohe Bay. You can't really beat the $20 rate on golf now for 18 holes, but if you want to walk they offer a locals rate of $6 after 4pm! I can make it here after work and easily get in 9 holes walking - it's a pretty short course. The staff is always friendly and usually tells me to play as many holes as I can. They also have a putting area and a huge double decker covered driving range with discount range balls if you buy in bulk.

Overall a great little executive course that is fun and laid back yet still challenging from the back tees. Enjoy!

Great value in a location that has pretty scenery. The course has natural grasses and the greens are well maintained. Pace of play was quick the day I played. The course is one that you can practice your iron play on as there are mostly par 3s. The greens rolled well and played consistent.

Played here on a recent trip to Oahu.. The course is in better shape than in the past, but still could use some TLC. we got a pretty cheap rate to play so went for it, and it was worth what we paid. The course itself was pretty tight in a few spots which made it challenging, and the folks at the course were very helpful and friendly. Hopefully they will continue to improve the condition of the course, as it could be a very fun course if in top condition.

This is a nice little course if you looking for value in Oahu or don't have a lot of time. I was suffering from a sore left knee so it was a perfect place for a "trial run". The front nine is flat and easy but the back goes up and down some pretty steep hills. Some pretty challenging holes with fantastic views of Kanehoe Bay from a couple of tees. Alas, my knee pain caused me to skip the last 4 holes but my wife finished and enjoyed all but the 18th hole - the carry over tall grass was at her max drive distance but she made it on the second try.

The staff is super nice and willing to go the extra mile to make your outting very special. Played with a buddy and a local that gave us lots of pointers on the best areas to play from on the course, thanks Leo. I guess the course was purchased not to long ago and the new owners hired a real pro to assist them in up grading and maintaining the course. This course has great views and great green fees for Hawaii. The only negative for me was that this course has lights and used to play at night which is does not any longer.... Also they need a pro shop, best way to advertise is to have things to remind mainland players of the courses that they played while visiting (hats, ball markers, towels, tee-shirts,etc.)

Although not technically an executive course, it is fairly short and plays quick. Very reasonable prices make up for the fact that the course could be better maintained. The view from the 14th green is beautiful!

The course has a good mix of difficulties. Most are par 3's and required accurate placement of the balls. Great for practising with the irons. The back 9 has a beautiful view of the bay. The staff was very helpful and friendly. There was not a large crowd and we can play at a leisurely pace, in just over 3 and a half hrs. It was well worth the drive from Honolulu.

I was so happy to take two beginners of golfing to this course since they enjoyed golfing under no pressure due to friendly stuff members of the course.

Thanks gys.

For an executive course, this one is outstanding. Cart paths are all concrete and electric carts are quiet. Greens are elevated and surfaces are mostly smooth. Numerous former bunkers have been replaced with grass bunkers, supposedly to make play easier, but there is still a definite premium on accuracy. Six par 4's give golfers a chance to pull out the longer clubs, but straight drives are crucial. The back nine is especially beautiful with high elevations and stunning views of the Kailua Bay. Parts of the course wind through leafy jungle terrain, there are beautiful flowers, and some water holes. And you can't beat the price. The staff is super friendly, even putting a chilled bottle of water in the cart like a country club!

Course is in great shape. Short course. Alot of par 3s. Great scenery

Had a nice round of golf working on our short game. Playing from the blues make the par 4s very challenging. Greens are very small and fairways very narrow.
