Great Kaua’i golf

First time playing the Kiahuna GC. What a gem! Course layout is fun. Challenging and holds your attention. Beautiful views of the ocean or mountains on virtually every hole. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be playing this course again.

Amazing Kaua’i golf experience!

This course offers amazing ocean and Mountain views. The layout is interesting and challenging (especially when the trade winds are blowing!). Will definitely be playing it again on my next trip to the island.

Fun course

Half the price of Poipu Bay. Pretty straight forward layout. Aside from the wind and east track. Greens and fairways in good shape.

Nice course for the value

This course will challenge you in multiple ways. It has length, water, hills, dog legs, and well placed sand traps. The course is in good shape. Greens rolled well. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

This is not an ocean course, but there are a couple of views. Value was decent compared to ocean courses. There are plenty of challenging shots. The course is fair.

I play to a 7 hdcp. I was able to book same day and was done in 4hrs. Didn't stay for the tacos but people were raving about them. Enjoy!

Very nice course

The course was in good shape for this time of year. Tees and greens were in great shape. Some fairways had some burnt areas. My wife and I enjoyed a great day in 3:15 to play. I’m playing again tomorrow. Nor much in terms of scenic holes but a very nice course.

BEWARE!

Everything about this course was great, except they don't tell you anywhere on Golfnow.com that the course closes at 6 pm. If you book the twilight rate starting at 3 pm, you may not complete all 18 holes. Fortunately, my wife and I play fast and 2 groups let us play through so we finished all 18.

Beautiful Course!

What an amazing course. The greens are challenging. I’m pretty sure we were the only ones out there, or at least it felt like that. Can’t wait to play it again.
