9th green Photo submitted by David9966334 on 09/06/2013
The course was in excellent condition
The course was in excellent condition and the views were absolutely magnificent,
Only complaint was the greens had been recently aerated and therefore it was difficult to read a putt.
Will definitely play this course again before the end of our vacation time here.
I am very disappointed
I watched a commercial late one night with the pro talking about the course on a local travel channel. When I booked the tee time they, nor golf now made mention of the aerated greens. I understand course need to do this, but I don't need to drop $150 for my wife and I to play it while on vacation. Had I known I would have went elsewhere. It was like playing plinko with a putter. There was also no ranger/Marshall working. My wife and I played fast, there were very few people out, we played in a bit over 3.5 hrs. We played through a father and young son, only to catch a group on the 16th tee. It took 1:15 minutes to play the last 3 holes. The problem was 2 group in front of us, the immediate group said that it had been like that all day. I woul play it again, hopefully under better conditions.
The course was in excellent shape
We thoroughly enjoyed our round at Kiahuna.The pace of play was good and the course was in excellent shape despite the fact that the greens were still revering from aeration.
Great course with top notch customer service.
The course was very well maintained and cared for. The customer service was excellent, starting at the Pro shop, the cart stand, and through the day with the beverage cart and wait staff. All of them were courteous, and friendly and when I get back I will play there again. Great experience for my son and I.
Scenic and a challenge
Beautiful, varied hazards. Women friendly and has junior tees for beginners. Great course
Fast & Fun
The course was fun to play on a Tuesday Afternoon. Our twosome played right through in 3.5 hours under windy conditions and had fun. The cart attentant/starter was really helpful.
Great value!
The course is in great condition! The holes are interesting and reasonable length. At GolfNow rates...the best value on the Island.
A must play
I play here multiple times with my buddy every time we visit Kauai. Probably the best deal on the island even without the hot deal from golf now. Greens are fairly quick and true. A challenge for all levels of play....a must play.
A real challenge in the wind
If the wind is 20-40 play the whites! The wind can make some of the hole incredibly challenging
Worth the discount value paid with Hot Deals. Not worth the list price though.
Good inexpensive round of golf. Mostly forgiving course. A few hazards that can cost you strokes though.
Excellent Greens
We reserved our tee time for this course with a 'Hot Rate'. The driving range is average at best (small) and is in need of some new range balls. However the course was in reall good shape (late April), beautiful dark green grass and the greens were in excellent shape. Fast but not too fast by any means. We heard it can be windy at Kiahuna but we had a VERY calm day. Would definitely play here again, especially if we got the Hot Rate!
Tee boxes/greens in very good condition. Fairways were avg
Very fair for for resort golf. Greens can be tough depending upon pin position. A few challenging holes with carry over water. Would definitely play it again.
Kiahuna Golf Course review.
A gorgeous course on the island of Kauai. Very fast and hard greens. Enjoyable round of golf.
Excellent course in great condition
This is an excellent course with beautiful views and challenging, but fair holes. Good value with GolfNow price.
Great Views
A challenging course but a well kept one with wide fairways, and not too difficult pin placements/ My sister-in-law (36 handicap) and myself (15 handicap) both enjoyed the course layout, variety and scenic views. It was a pleasure to play the course.
Well maintained and fun to play.
The course has nice views and is well laid out for all levels of play. It is forgiving and fun to play but tough when windy.
Very friendly staff, course in excellant shape, greens very difficult
The staff were very friendly, quick service to get onto the course, cleaned the golf clubs when finished.
Great Inland course and layout. Greens roll true and are in superb condition
OUr twosome was second off in the morning and we finished our round in 3 hours. A steady morning wind limited our drive distances as we worked our way windward for first 5 holes. Course plays fair and both greens and fairways are in very good shape. No sign of the ghost spider's which are the noted endangered species on the course. The par 3 12th hole is a challeng to make and stay on the green. The white tees were playing 160 yrds but we needed our 190 yrd clubs due to the stong wind at 2 o:clock. My 3 hybrid landed on but skipped through while my playing partner hit a great 4 iron that satyed on and he was down in two more for the hole win. This was our second visit to Kiahuna this week and it is a good value. Course gave us a $90 round even thought we signed up on line for $105 round. Very much appreciated.
Fun track
The course is pretty straightforward, although there are some holes with interesting challenges. The value for the money is above average.
A course that you must play
This was a great course to play and was quite challenging. We would highly recommend it. The staff was very freindly and went out of their way to make you feel at ease.
